Cheap iPhone just for calls?

Hey everyone, I'm looking for an affordable option to use as a backup phone, to make and receive calls, I won't be using it for social media since I have my main phone (optional, if I still can use some basic ones i.e Whatsapp, but it can be left out), and don't care about 5G support, because I can use 2G, 3G and 4G with my carrier.

I really liked the iPhone 5s design, if that helps, and you think it's still an option, but I don't mind on getting a larger screen (such as an 6 or 6s) also, I'm looking to spend less than $100 USD, maybe I can find something in good shape and decent battery health.

I'll be reading your suggestions.

I would say get a 7 or maybe even 8. I'm still rocking the 7 but hope to upgrade very soon. They usually go for anywhere from $50-$125 and are still pretty good just for phone calls and texting. It's getting buggy for other things though, but if all you need it for is that, then it should be good! It can run on iOS 15 and still runs pretty smoothly for the most part

iPhone 7/8. Maybe an SE 2020 if you can manage to snag one for that cheap
