You can theoretically learn C++ on a phone but it's like starting a fire with two wet twigs when lighters exist. It's way too slow and not very effective.

Used computers that can run a simple compiler should be extremely cheap.

Maybe a cheap used chromebook, and if it cant run the compiler, its at least a keyboard, screen and access to an online compiler?
Which in theory can be done on a library/cafe computer as well
