I bought Alcatel Go Flip for $25, works fine. If you need to read web from 2.8" display via 4G or Wifi one-two times per year, this is good choice.

Nothing compares to the Punkt MP01 and MP02 IMO. I've had the MP01 for years and it's fantastic, the only issue has been with service and I imagine that would be resolved with the MP02 and 4g. https://www.punkt.ch/en/products/mp02-4g-mobile-phone/ There's also the Lightphone and forthcoming Lightphone II. That being said, these won't really address privacy concerns per se. They don't support signal or other encrypted…
I love the look of that phone, except for the huge logo on the front. I wonder if there is a way to strip that off without damaging the plastic.
Related question – Is it possible to have two phones with the same phone number? Maybe an iPhone and a flip phone, for example.

I bought the 3G version. It was bad. Really bad. I think we've collectivley forgot how much of a UI bump the iPhone was. I ended up never using it because there wasn't any way of of getting my contacts from my iPhone to it and I'm not spending several hours keying in my contacts.
