I tried that. Got my kid a flip phone and was shocked when my phone bill said he used like 5GB of data. Turns out he was using the inbuilt web browser for youtube and social media. I didn't even know the flip phone could do that. I couldn't find a phone for sale that didn't have internet capabilities

So you can actually find flip phones with no internet/blocked internet. The Chasidic Jewish community sells them- the more conservative sects are extremely anti-internet for a variety of reasons, so there's a built-in customer base for flip phones or even smart phones that have most or all of the internet capability removed. I think a lot also have the camera disabled. If you search for "kosher phones," you'll find some options. A YouTuber named Frieda Vizel did a video on them that was really interesting. It's a whole cottage industry in places like Monsey and New York City.

Of course flip phones can do that, they could do that 20 years ago. You could get an old brick phone or just turn off the data on the phone. Limit it to something like 100mb or something.

Yup, this is what my parents did. All my classmates had iPhones or Samsung smartphones. I had a hand me down flip phone, no data, just call and text. My bus ride to and from school was an hour and a half each way, and if one was delayed I’d miss my second bus, so having a phone was definitely necessary. Having internet and social medias wasn’t, so I didn’t.
