You should be able to use any android phone without a data plan (or a sim). There aren't any 'small tablets' anymore, so just pick an off-contract phone in your price range - a nexus 4 for instance might be a good bet. Do a little research on models that grab your eye and see how they are received - remember, buying the cheapest bottom of the barrel device usually gives you... the cheapest bottom of the barrel device. The low-end android experience can be truly awful. A low-end cheap phone which HAS gotten some good reviews is the Moto E. The newest model is the Moto E LTE - you don't care about the LTE, but they bumped the rest of the specs a bit as well. I think I saw one on boost for $99 - just use up, or ignore, the boost part of it and use it on wifi only after that. -m --
