Really?  How odd.  I remember they were a great wonder at my work when we started using them in the late 80s, but even by about the mid 90s they were sitting in dusty, forgotten corners.  I guess there must be some legal requirement.

Plenty of 2G phones on the market still, will cost you about $20.  Or a bit more with the special falafel sauce.
