you could try looking at some kai os devices like the nokia 2720. While they have some smart features like facebook and youtube, they're so difficult to use that you just won't use them. They have maps and google search and you can get them pretty cheap

The TCL Flip series is cheap (meaning, like, $80 - $100 for a new and unlocked device), but it seems like you get what you pay for unfortunately, they have terrible reviews. But you can also get them locked/prepaid from Tracfone for like $20, so that's a low-risk investment if you just want to try it out.

Next best bet is probably the Nokia 2780, which also goes for $90 new and unlocked. I recommend looking up peoples' experiences with it on here, I think it reviews a little better than the TCL phones.

Worth noting that the TCL Flip 3 and Nokia 2780 both run KaiOS, so there will be some smart apps, but no WhatsApp and nothing that requires Google Play Services.
