What texting-only phones are you able to find? I'm having a hard time forming a potent search query for those. I keep getting support threads for people who have phones that can text but have a broken calling feature.

2-way pagers worked for SMS, that's essentially what I'm looking for, but on modern hardware, meaning I'd rather it be rechargeable through a port than have a AA battery slot, maybe a microsd slot for my contacts and messages.

The existing 2-way pagers work over conventional networks as well as radio networks that relay SMS and email through a gateway, which is why I specified that I was not concerned which method, I just prefer that it does SMS, perhaps natively.

The recipient, as with 2-ways, can use any method or hardware of SMS to send/reply.

Why don't you just get a candybar Nokia and be done with it?
