With an SOS button, you can press and hold to call up to five emergency contacts should you get into trouble and need help. There’s also an outer screen so you can see the time or who is calling when the phone is closed. When open it has a 2.8-inch screen that’s bright and readable for sending and reading text messages. It has several core features for a reasonable price. Our top basic phone pick for most people is the Nokia 2660 Flip.
