For used phones I prefer swappa.com which specializes in phones and
does IMEI checks before accepting listings you know the phone isn't
stolen. I see an unlocked Motorola G7 power, a pretty good 2019 phone,
for $87. If you don't insist on the newest fanciest phones, there are
some very good deals.

It would be nice if you could use a 40 year old mobile phone like you can use
a 40 year old landline phone, but that's not going to happen.

Here is a picture of my 40 year old landline phone. Works great. To
its right you can see the add-on Caller-ID box which isn't much newer.
