how much are you guys paying for service for your dumb phones I switched to a smartphone years ago because I was paying more for my dumb phone service than the rest of my entire family's smartphone service...

$5 a month. That said, I only get 500 minutes (both directions combined) of talk, 500 outgoing texts and 500 incoming texts. I also get 500MB of data that I don't use. I do wish there was a $2 option with 200s instead of 500s, but this is by far the cheapest plan I have ever had.
This plan works more than good enough for my Nokia 225 4G. Annoyingly though, I can't pay for my service without a Chromium based web browser, so I have the incredibly chunky Chromium browser installed just to pay my phone bill once a month.
I looked up the Swedish prices and with free calls and messages starts from 99sek (about 9-10€).
The data include is about 2-5GB (so plenty for gemini)
Edit: This includes tax.

I've kept my old plan thus far. part of it is laziness the other is a life boat if I bail. going strong since July though.
also my F1 Horizon has a hotspot so I use it in a pinch with my android.

I don’t have a dumb phone, but I have a pretty inexpensive phone plan. I use Tello mobile. It is 300 minutes, unlimited text, and 2 GB data for $8 a month.
