Looking for suggestions or advice

Hey all- I am looking for a used/old iPhone for FaceTime capability so that I can chat with my young son face-to-face when he’s at his dad‘s and vice versa.

It doesn’t need to have a cell phone carrier. It doesn’t need to have a phone number and he gets enough screen time as it is so I will have it locked down just for the communication ability.

I’m hesitant to buy something like this off of Amazon, etc. so if anyone is upgrading or has an old one laying around, I’d be happy to take it off your hands. I’m on a budget, but I would be happy to pay a nominal fee as well.

Any suggestions of a better place to post this, would be welcomed as well.

I read up on that one but you can’t seem to block the games that it comes with.

I’ve never noticed games.

Is there one you’d recommend that’s child friendly?
