As if dumb phones aren’t already cheap, some are getting a deeper discount with Amazon’s Big Deal Days event that kicks off October 8, 2024. Even in advance of the sale, there are bargains on this type of simplified phone, which is typically priced under $100 (cell carriers typically make most of their money on your monthly service fee.)

And lastly, if you buy now and end up seeing your phone at a lower price during Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days sale, you can always take advantage of Amazon’s generous return policy to get the additional savings.

The holiday season is hectic without last-minute gift shopping, so shop Wirecutter-approved gifts that are on sale for Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days now.
