Any old working flip or bar phone. 911 calls don't require a plan or service contract. You'll only be able to make 911 calls with that, however. If you want something that will let you make ordinary calls or text, you'll need something like a prepaid phone, which are quite inexpensive as well.

All the prepaid phones I've found seem to have minutes that expire. That doesn't seem ideal for something I'd never use.
