Odd. There is an article about this in the October M.A.A. Monthly, pages 737-742, by R. Thangadurai and A. Vatwani. They give an elementary argument to show $$ p \leq 2^{\phi(q) + 1} - 1.$$ The best unconditional result they report is T. Xylouris (2009), $$ p \leq c_1 q^{5.2}$$ which improves a 1992 result of Heath-Brown.

Apparently Oesterle showed that GRH implies $$ p \leq 70 q (\log q)^2 $$ which is much better. This was a private communication to the authors, not in the reference list.

Anyway, table of contents at CONTENTS
