Compatible dumb phone?

Car is a 2014 328i xdrive, luxury version (so called). I believe it has all available electronics.

When I bought the car, the sales guy attempted to pair my old casio dumb phone. Car said "error." But the next day, driving along, I was surprised to hear an incoming call on car's speaker. I've been using it ever since. Once I accidentally unpaired, and it took 30 min of trial & error to pair once again; otherwise no problem.

The casio battery is old (& hard to replace), and I don't want to lug around a smart phone. So I need a new dumb one.

The offical bmw list includes only smartphones.

Can anyone suggest an up to date dumb phone that works with bmw bluetooth? The only functionality needed is to receive and place calls, and to transfer the phone directory.

Thanks
