I want a dumb phone that acts as a hotspot for my tablet and other devices.
You can already buy those. They seem to commonly be referred to in online stores as ‘pocket wifi’. Just stick a sim card in them and you can manage their settings through any connected device with a web browser.
You can’t use them as a phone though. And dumb phones that do somehow support tethering don’t do so at modern speeds.
Can't also use those as a phone, though, which I think the parent comment was intending.
I had an LG and a Kyocera back in the day that could do that. They had some small non-connected games. Of course I couldn't do much with the hotspot as this was on 3G.
