Why not use the 1 free MB/day my provider gives me? It takes a while to consume it over EDGE. It still works, this is r/me_irl by Hot:

I used read so many articles on the bus via RSS… Or listen to FM radio and record music at 32kHz, 4 bits per sample… And I did use Reddit and email despite the utter lack of privacy and security (maybe encrypted in transit but not at the Chinese-owned company’s transcoder). Now I mostly just look up train delays when running between connections (my smartphone has no SIM, data is costly so I save the single MB for that). I stopped treasuring it, the display’s factory protective sticker tore off, resulting in scratches, and it fell on a spade, hence the crack.
I have several 3410s and my service provider still seems to allow CSD (digital dialup), although at high prices (0.25 € per minute?! Is that all-inclusive or in addition to call and/or data rates?). They don’t seem to be running any endpoints to dial into anymore but I know a friendly hacker who could set one up on a commercial or Eventphone GSM network, I might be able to go online with it and load her website http://wap.blamba.de/
The Nokia 3410 can also act as an analog modem in case CSD is blocked or there’s an analog line or reencoder in the GSM provider’s infrastructure. Obviously, then the handshaking takes longer and the speeds are lower.

There is also some indie development for the Mediatek MRE SoC platform despite Nokia’s sideloading challenges (each app has to be signed with a licenced certificate that only big studios like Gameloft and Soyou have so people use the fallback dev method of signing each app individually with the IMSI in SIM slot 1; reassigning built-in Twitter/Facebook/Yahoo shortcuts in the menu is only possible with hacks built into the NokiaReSing app). The flagship FOSS app is PeanutVxp, a GB© emulator (the optional 2x scaling, which also affects performance (drops below 30 fps) is obviously not a good fit for many games but 2048 is alright)
