  Nokia still produces feature phones, and newer models have LTE. But they are somewhat overpriced compared to the Chinese companies. They also make smartphones running KaiOS (much more efficient than Android, but cannot run Android apps) in the 50-100 USD range.

    I’ll have to look into that.

    In my country emergency broadcasts are only supported on lte enabled devices. I’m not sure about the os requirement for that either.

      That’s horrible. Poor people with older phones don’t matter, I guess?

        Yeah in North America they are in the process of discontinuing 3G service and older support all together as well.
