Unfortunately, any phone these days will be driven by a CPU of some sort, since all the processing and DSP is done in software rather than in special purpose chips. The truly basic voice only cell phone has not been made in over 20-25 years. Before "smart phones" we had "feature phones" - with basic computing capability. Now, one can get a nice minimal "feature phones" that are not activated on a data plan, and just get a pay-as-you go, no contract voice only plan, and turn all the other stuff off on the phone settings. The carrier just turns off internet access. Take a gander here for some ideas: http://www.wirefly.com/no-data-required-phones If wander into Walmart, Best buy, etc, you should find a display of pay as you go phones like these. Among the shadier types in our society they are also known as "burner phones."
