To me a phone is the last place to have personal information, and I have no root for my Android phone. It looks like Mint Mobile may have good news finally but I'll know more tomorrow.
A Windows 10 netbook with SIM would take care of big hindrances here. This is because Windows apps can be finniky about using the dev's download app.
But a plain Jane cryogenamod on Motorola or something, I only need it for calls and hotspot/tethering, but not rooted to someone else.
I sure thank ya! Price range anything to maybe 2-$30, but for 2 cents I'd go for a flip phone.
