Sure. Then again, if the goal of getting your kid a phone is so that they won’t be ostracized, I’m not sure if a dumbphone will help with that.

Kids in some parts of USA were shunned at some point because the messages they send get the wrong colored bubble. I.e. those losers are using Android phones instead of Apples.

Things like this make me think that the solution has to be forced on all children. Or their parents, more like.
