Hi, does anyone have an recommendations of a phone without Internet access for a 9 year old? She has asked for a phone for Christmas but I dont want her to have one where she can access social media. Thanks very much.

Have you asked her what she wants to do with the phone?

If say you got her an old iPhone and you have iPhones you can set it up as a child’s account and she has to ask for permission to download and apps.

You can get and internet enabled phone and just not let her use social media apps. DD has an android with family link, which I use to approve or block apps and track her location.
