Can load them up with music mp3's

Just Double check for full 4G support as 3G is being shutoff later this year

Philips E2220 4g phone (Web search, again — cheapest deal at AliExpress). Not the most powerful battery, but type C plug.

Best option for the purpose, to my mind:

Philips E125A.
(27 NZD, at AliExpress, free shipping to New Zealand. +GST, certainly… 😏)
