Best alternative for what purpose? Can’t answer unless you tell us that. To make calls and texts? A feature phone. To use android apps? A tablet, I guess.

I heard of something called a pinephone. I know nothing about it but I have it earmarked for further exploration soon.
String and 2 cans.
ties a string to your string, and a can at the other end
Now we’re having a three way!
Or you’ve hacked into their calls!
I know I’m interested in either a dumb flip phone or a smart phone that’ll last a while that doesn’t rely on Android or iOS.
That depends on what you need it to do. You’re not going to get a 1:1 replacement.
Define how you mean “best”.
I don’t have a best alternative, as my use-case is an Android phone running Lineage.
A senior’s phone. Sometimes also called feature phone. Some of them are pretty good.
Are you looking for a dumb phone? If so the best alternative on the market is probably the Light Phone III. It’s pricey though because its a niche product
I think they are looking for a smart phone that isn’t the 2 big brands
Afaik HMD, formerly Nokia makes good dumb phones.
A Nothing phone with graphene
A smartphone that you don’t sign into or use any apps on.
And disable mobile data and wifi.
There’s one that has a switch that puts you offline, but I can’t remember the name of it.
