snatched up an old dumb phone (sony ericsson w350i) from 2008 only to realize that there is no 2g network anymore. so small, so perfect. wish there was something like a 5g dumb phone that actually works and has open source firmware (not android).
back to the stripped down iphone mini in the meantime.

Not sure these would meet your standards of openness, but there used to be a plethora of 4G capable KaiOS-based phones, including re-releases of popular Nokia phones of the days past. This is basically a development of what used to be FirefoxOS. Yes, Google is somehow behind the project — this is their attempt to enter the market of very cheap phones with their services, but they don't seem too restrictive, there used to be a rather active hacking community.
I'm not sure if any of these devices are available in your region though. · 3 hours ago
is there no sort of transceiver, sim converter, or some manner of device which can convert 5g signal to 2g which that device can capture? maybe something like that at least for 4g or 3g in case you're looking for something like a palm, or somewhere similar? best of luck to ya, god bless. · 2 days ago
