Xiaomi handphones are cheap and good. can buy a Xiaomi 8a or 9a with local warranty 1 year at around $99 online from Lazada or Shopee on coming August 8-10. alternatively go community centre and ask about subsidised smartphone for seniors.

For those reading this,
pls note it is not automatic for senior citizens.

You have to be under COMCARE
to be eligible for the subsidised rates.

Cheers.

I think those bundle with cheap phone senior data plan

If you're buying a cheap phone, you don't need a bundle plan. You can just pick up any contract-free plan, they are cheap and have more than enough data for casual users.

People get bundle plans to subsidize their super expensive flagship phones. They get a nice discount if they sign a 2-year plan.

This is the 3rd model I bought from this company. Cheap and good. Support 2 SIM + 1 microSD. It also supports almost all US carriers, great if you travel there often.

No such thing as subsidized phones. The high costs is added into your subscription.
Just buy a cheap phone and non-contract phone plan.
Forget about reliability. With newer phones having glass back, the chances of breaking your phone is higher than before. On top of that, you're unlikely to use the same phone beyond 2 years.
