If I don't want it to use as a phone (reasons for not wanting a cell phone), it looks like my cheapest option would be a 4-5 year old locked phone. I could use a locked phone because all I want it for us to use it on wifi, right?

And yes, I could have googled as well (and I did), but couldn't find someone wanted to do exactly what I wanted to do, so I thought I'd check for verification.

I believe I could also go one step further/cheaper and get a phone with a bad IMEI/ESN because, again, would never be used on a cellular network and only on wifi, but that would probably mean supporting theft, which I don't want to do.
