I’ve considered doing this in combination with a Pine phone or other impractical but cool linux phone so that I don’t have to worry about not having at least reliable SMS and calling.

Anyone know if there is a tiny dumb phone out there that doubles as a 4G/5G hotspot?

    I use a TCL Flip 2, bought it unlocked on ebay for $40. It has hotspot, mms, and emoji support (can't remember if the included keyboard has any emoji, since I use a custom one that has some, but the system can recognize and display most emoji people send). It actually runs a slimmed down version of android and you can root it and run some stuff, though most things are a pain to use. I've got signal, jerboa, and adaway running on mine, though I haven't found another browser that plays nice yet.
