Have you considered a basic flip phone that cannot connect to the internet?  The other option may be an older smartphone without a service -- they will generally still allow 911 calls.

My esteemed listmates,



To protect a good person who’s proven vulnerable to financial predators, I’m trying to ascertain if there is a cell phone which only dials out to
911 for emergencies?



She has fallen prey to Instagram criminals and the goal is to provide her with a cell phone she can call for emergencies but can’t reach Instagram or any social media outlets or to text.



Is this technologically possible?



Thank you,



Charles.
