I think I need to get a phone to use outside the USA and the grips of our awful telecoms. I have a vague notion that this consists of buying a cheap flip phone and then buying necessary sim card(s), but I'm wondering if anyone has any advice a to which cheap phone and how to play with sim cards in a way that could work well for more than one country. FWIW, I did try checking online, but the advice was all about how to be able to stay glued to the internet by having a smartphone. Here is the goal along with other notes: I'd like to be able to tell the people I'm going to meet what my phone number is, preferably some time before I arrive. I'd like not to say 'yeah, here's my phone number, but hey, don't call me, because I'm from the U.S. so calls are stupidly expensive.'. I couldn't give a hoot about obsessive-compulsive checking in online, so I don't need a smartphone. I do have an old iPhone 3, but it doesn't hold a charge anymore. My day-to-day phone is a paid-off iPhone 6. Oh, and I'm really cheap. Thanks for any tips, esp. because of the long list of constraints.
