I Switched Back To A Basic Phone- Here Is What Happened.

- In the past couple of weeks, I decided to put my super modern smartphone in a drawer and switch back to a basic flip phone. One that can't load the web or take a decent picture. The effect of this experiment has shown me that simplifying your life in this way may actually improve it.

![6 Best Flip Phones to Buy in 2024👌 [don’t buy one before watching this]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/sfJcl0j5Tn4/mqdefault.jpg)
I use a flip phone. When I pull it out in public people think I am drug dealer LOL
Lol, this is funny
😭😂👏
Can i still find one
Really?!
Y drug dealers use such basic mobiles?
@@shivamurthyv3666 low level drug dealers often use such phones, they call them "burners" as they throw them away within a couple of days/weeks to avoid surveillance from law enforcement. For bigger operations/network they were using a closed loop encrypted system called " Encrochat which provided the user with full encryption chat on a modified Android device with fake desktop, hidden apps and kill switch button that could erase all data stored on the device instantly. Encrochat called them " carbon devices". But a little over a year ago French police and later Interpol cracked Encrochat and now they are decimating criminal networks all over Europe using their chat logs as proof lol. There was also a similar service called Sky ECC which was also cracked by the cops.
About to make the switch. I’ve absolutely had it with smartphones.
Same
How’s it going now how you finding it
Me too!
And me!
Dude thats why screen time on iphones were invented
Plainly stated: I am sick of my own shit. Lol. I think the hardest and weirdest part for me is admitting I can’t control it. I have been thinking for a couple weeks about committing to this and I need to just do it. The fact that I have anxiety over the switch tells me alllllll the reasons that this is vital.
Just go get a tablet or lap top but keep it off in bag. So therfore it's a decision to get out and set up.
I'm happy with a smartphone cuz all apps are unlimited I had a flip flop phone and I never want to go back to a flip flop that would be stupid.
Lol relatable
Did you ditch the smartphone in the end?
lmao that’s so relatable, I’m also very sick of my own shit
I need a “dumb”phone that has spotify and a flashlight. That’s all. after that, I’m done with smartphones.
Samsung fliper
Get a dumbphone with a flashlight (there are many) and an Apple Watch/Android watch with Spotify installed, then you have the best of both with your music downloaded to your watch ready to bluetooth to headphones or a speaker whenever.
For us indians our company jio has built a 4g keypad phone with all features like maps gaana app which is a music app of india jio saavn torch etc withvhd calling
I would love a basic phone with Whatsapp (a major app of communication in Brazil) and Uber (another major app in Brazil). That and a decent camera so that I could take photos of things that I would like to register, like the sky, a plant, my friends
@@MariaFernandazzYeah, I desire the same from India
I agree with him. He has said what I have been feeling. My Smart phone has become an open door to almost everything. It's overwhelming. I'd like a simple, basic phone like I had with my old land line. Messaging, texting. Plain communication. Nothing more.
Would you switch back to a basic phone?
*excuse a couple of typos in the video
I would love to.
Yes, but actually can't. My office work 70% depends upon smartphone and especially now in lockdown. But deeply I too want a break from all this.🤞
Does a Windows 10 mobile phone count as a basic phone?
I switched to Nokia 225
Yes
Main reason i use the Ultra Power Saving mode on Samsung phone's. Turns your phone into a dumb phone 😬
Expensive dumb phone.. awesome tho, I still remember my S6 edge having that feature and would last me a week because all I do is text and call.
@@unkn0wn_416 Check out some KaiOS phone. They now have whatsapp. I bought the Nokia 2720 flip and am very happy with it.
I should do this
These are feeders
@Rays Through Trees, Summer Breeze sure yes, I agree. But there is absolutely no reason to login to your google account, since you can not do anything with the phone :)
I really need to do this for at least a month
Honestly I've been using a New Nokia 3310 for the past year. It's not really that bad.
I said same thing....and i started over a year ago and never looked back
I have done it for years now.
@@bobgillis1137 what do you do if you want to see some informative videos on youtube
@@tanayanipankar9781
iPad
I've set myself "action" limitations. I don't use the smartphone (don't even touch it) when I'm:
1) eating;
2) in the bathroom;
3) beyond 23:00;
4) until 8:00;
4) in the streets (apart some occasional waiting room or line);
5) watching a movie.
Works very well to me and it's simple. Of course I answer calls. I basically only use the smart part of the phone at home.
Watching CZcams causes problems?
So you still use it constantly from 8am to 11pm ???? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
THATS action is it????
@@MuhammedShafiS no, following the rules above. Sorry for the wait.
@@DeeTeaDee not constantly. It's not that I use all this time. It's that I'll only use (if i use) in this time limits. And all the other "rules" apply between this period too. It works here. What I mean is that from 23:00 to 08:00 I'll not use for nothing.
I dont have friends so this wouldnt effect me.
Or it could be part of the cause
if u use basic phone having no friends then youd be staring in a wall at your room all day
@@draz9765 not if you have a job
@@draz9765 Funny how the platforms made to make us connect has made us more disconnected then ever.
Me too. The reason I get attached to my phone is because I don't have many friends.
Get a smart phone but sim with no internet connection it's not the smart phone that cuases addiction it's the internet
That's very true.
But there is hotspots everywhere nowadays
The internet is the drug and the smartphone the drug pusher.
That may be true but I’ve been a WiFi warrior for years , living in a big city like NY having no data is not a problem.
At this moment I’m in the train station borrowing WiFi, I’ve relaxed in cafes when that was still a thing, friends houses have WiFi- and more. People will find a way as long there is one, I suppose.
Maybe it works for everyone else, but I’m here because a flip phone is the only option lmao, and I know that
No it’s the smartphones as well believe that
I've tried this, using dumb phone nowadays = cut any communication with everyone. Even in a same room, they all stuck with phone while I still have no one to talk to
You could sing for them. :))
You know, I feel like there's a good reason for this. Remember when you were a kid, and you were told being on the computer for too long wasn't good for you? Well, what do you suppose a smartphone is? It's a computer, one you always have with you.
I recently did this too. I feel better and also sleep better. Never was interested in social media and don't understand gaming so, no withdrawal. Loving the simplicity of my flip phone. Still have the android 10 Octa-core but I appreciate it more. Thanks for an enlightened and wise video. I'm actually reading more books.
Same here!
This made me so happy to watch. It was so wholesome the way you explained the smartphone problem because I feel the same way. Thank you for reassuring that it’s totally okay to go back to the basics. I’m definitely thinking about getting a basic phone again. Social media and this tiny blue screen is too much for the mental health of a 20 y/o like me. Thank you again!!
I have sleeping problems since 10 years. I feel digital detox might help me
Give it a try! It might feel a bit scary, but will be worth it
I might have to do that too and considering those blue light glasses.
Got a smart phone a few months ago after brick-phoning it for years, already want to go back. I used to live more life without the stress of combating the screen addiction. Sadly, learned that they are removing all 3G towers and increasing prices of Bricks. Let's go back to face-to-face and snail mail y'all
Ebay
Yep
Go check out Gabb wireless.com They make a touchscreen phone without internet or play store. It’s just talk and text with a camera.
I just turn My mobile data off.
At least here in Germany they will support 2G long term, while they shut down 3G.
So better check wether it's the same in your area. Most places will probably keep 2G (GSM) for basic applications.
I think our smart phones are taking the place of hobbies.
Not just hobbies. It can be almost any area of life at this point…
I am decreasing my phone use by reading books , but I read them on my laptop ...
😂😂
I’ve wanted to do this for a long time now, in the back of my mind I keep thinking about how awkward approaching people with a flip phone in hand to take numbers would be lol.
But I truly am about to do it.
I don’t even have social media anymore, but I still find ways to load my phone with all types of games and as it’s supposed to make reading and things more efficient- it’s led me to stop reading altogether.
If I were to do that, I'll go better with a Nokia N95......playa music, takes ok pics you can use and in a nutshell, you can do a quick browser search and the agonizing symbian OS will make you put it down .....
Not a bad idea! I just went cold turkey
Back then this and n96 was my favourite phones
Research these and make a video:
1. Light Phone 2
2. Punkt MP02
3. Blloc Ratio loader for Android
4. Nokia 2720 with KaiOS (has Whatsapp, mobile sites for maps, uber)
I loved your honesty regarding smart phones taking over our lives. I feel overwhelmed with upgrades and all the uploads downloads and the instant messaging etc. I prefer the good old days when the phones were smaller and served the purpose of a phone . All I need is the basics but seems like we have a need to use apps and need click agree in order to read any articles. I really do not have a clue what I am agreeing to, but do so for the sake of moving on to read the screen. these things were meant to save time but these a total waste of time and wish we improved or spent time creating better things than apps.
Same is valid for me. Internet and social media addiction. Wanna get rid of it as they are really waste of time.. Mindless scrolling.. A bottomless well.. If i can find a Sony Ericsson or Nokia phone in a good condition i will gladly switch into my old limited ability but healthy life style. However since so much time passed there is no such phones or in a very bad condition.. But still have an eye on newly arrived basic phones if there would be any.
The New Nokia 3310 isn't that bad either. I use it as my only phone, not even a smartphone.
Well, there are flip phones that have 4G LTE/VoLTE so here's my list of VoLTE/4G LTE dumbphones.
1) Kyocera DuraXV Extreme LTE/Kyocera DuraXV LTE
2) Kyocera Cadence LTE
3) Alcatel Go Flip V/Alcatel QuickFlip/Alcatel MyFlip/Alcatel Cingular Flip
4) Orbic Journey V
5) ZTE Cymbal LTE (both on Verizon and Tracfone)
6) Sonim XP3
7) LG Exalt LTE (aka LG Wine LTE, aka LG Exalt Vn220)
8) Jitterbug Flip
9) Jitterbug Lively Flip
10) ANS F30 (as far as I know, it's only on US Cellular)
11) LG Classic Flip/LG Wine II LTE/LG Wine 2 LTE (both on Tracfone and US Cellular)
There's more LTE dumbphones but I suggest that you should search "4G LTE flip phone", "LTE dumbphone" or "VoLTE flip phone" on Amazon, eBay or Google.
One of your best videos! Congrats, mate!
You're right, it would be so nice to be able to easily switch back and forth between a "dumbphone" and a "smartphone"! I've definitely found myself getting in the habit of checking the phone endlessly, and it does create anxiety, I can feel it. I still want to be able to use things like the camera and the GPS, so I wouldn't want to actually switch for myself, but I'd like to see if I can start refraining from using apps on my phone when I'm at home, kind of like having a "dumbphone." We'll see, wish me luck! Thanks for this video!
Interesting. I downgraded over a week ago to a simple Nokia phone. I purchased a tablet. Downloaded WhatsApp, messenger etc...to use the net and take to work.
How have I found it? So far, OK. I know I have a crap phone in my pocket, I look around when walking, read newspapers in the pub or coffee shop. I listen to the radio on the Nokia, I'd thought I'd miss Spotify and my music and podcast though i like the radio, missed it without endless clicking through another podcast that I rarely finished. I read a book on my sofa with a drink. Some things that were ease, music, camera, instant answer, football scores etc...I'm 42yrs and so mobile started when I was 19 and smartphone when I was in y 30s. I don't miss not looking at people when I talk or notice they don't look at me. I close my laptop.
Im in early stages, need to perceviour with this, it's helpful for me.
Life is not about conveniences. It's about LIVING. You can never live as long as you are chained to a box of conveniences. I threw my cell phone away 14 years ago... along with my TV... and I have never regretted it. All I have is a laptop that I use for study and research for the articles that I write. Right now I'm working on an article about people who have given up their cell phones.
it would be helpful if basic phone have powerful cameras like smartphone
yes i totally agree.
The sunbeam F1 has a pretty decent camera
Glad to hear that I’m not the only one. Yes, my relationship with my phone is unhealthy. Too much wasted precious time. I want my life back. I’m going to do this too.
Ironically, I m watching the digital detox on a smartphone. Yaay 🤘
Sometimes it's better to cut the source of an addiction altogether, instead of wasting precious willpower. I'm switching between an iPhone 7 and a Nokia 3310, using the latter and a laptop as primary communication.
I've got a few basic phones lying around in the drawer just for this reason. An old Samsung flip phone that doesn't even have a camera, and a Nokia 206. It just feels good to switch to using them every once in a while and keep the smartphone home on WiFi. I kind of start missing the group chats with friends though.
I recently did what you have done but went with a Blackberry 9810. I did try an old Nokia phone but struggled with texting on just a number pad. I do mostly find it okay for basic things and one advantage that I didn't think of until using it again was how easy it is to carry. I also feel safer displaying it in public, like who would want to steal it?
I couldn't agree more with you. I just went back to a gold Motorola Razr 2 V8 that does alot of things a Smartphone can already do but less complicated. I love my Bluetooth to anything, easy Mp3 music and video player (with No annoying Adds) and still can watch CZcams all in Style. I'm happy and wouldn't trade it for the world.
Very good issue pointed out. I fact thinking of having basic mobile Nokia 5310(2020) maybe. Digital load is overwhelming for us. 😣
There should be option in smartphone to have a switch to go in offline mode to just basic call sms cam etc. Over the years I keenly followed mobile phones since 2005, and now I wish to have a balance between past basic phone and a modern smartphone.
Been contemplating this a lot this video cemented it, need to really ditched this smartphone addiction
Join the resistance :)
How was it?
Is there a way to limit certain apps to only being used via WiFi? I'm wondering if this would work well enough as a way to limit use of those apps that suck up so much time throughout the day that aren't exactly necessary, but then still get the other benefits that a smartphone offers
Great video. I have a very similar problem to you.. obsessed with these devices and ends up taking over your life. I used a Nokia 8110 a few months ago for 3 days and it did stop me from the obsession but of course went back to smartphones and using them more. Thinking of doing the dumb phone challenge again
Great effort really appreciate. I am having the same problems. I am also looking forward to switch to dumb phone.
Give it a shot and let me know how it went for you!
6:04 Set the smartphone screen to black and white and turn off social media notifications, you'll not use social media as much but will still have everything else
The deal breaker for me going back to an old phone is google maps. The ability to look up a business hours, location and reviews is just too much to give up.
You can check that from your notebook. If you're on the go, you may waste some time going to a store just to find out it is closed. But this will happen only once every three months. And you'll learn to plan ahead and avoid this from happening. The overall time you gain by not wasting time on a smartphone easily beats the time you spend to plan ahead for a few things every now and then.
Same for me, I like open source software and I have an app called Organic Maps, but basically I had the same problem. But it's just a matter of time; when you get used to plan ahead then you won't notice the difference anymore, on the contrary, you will become a living map XD You will learn lots of street names, shops (that you didn't even notice before) etc. Guaranteed xd
We managed before google maps arrived and can do without now.
6:11 There is a very simple fix to this problem: get a tablet to compliment your flip phone.
Yes I like this idea. I’m going to try this.
Telephone lines cannot be active on two devices. Then getting addicted to a tablet? No thanks.
This world is now living on smartphones. It seems so. We living with smartphone for almost 7-8 years. What it gives to humanity? How much does it contribute in knowledge? How many of us capable of reading books for 6-7 hours? Or even to concentrate for an hour without touching phone !
We lost our creativity, productivity, productive knowledge, basic skills, memorization capacity and many more basic things that matters to living peaceful life. There wasn't smartphone when we learn physics, mathematics or agriculture.
I'm deleted Facebook account recently after lockdown. I'm lecturer and having everything shut down in lockdown the use of Facebook and smartphone went at craziest level.
While I was on work I rarely check mobile, I had my hatches from morning 6 to evening 9. In meantime I study different topics, prepare for next lectures etc.
Now after quitting social media my attention span wich was reduced to 10 seconds has been recovered to almost an hour lecture.
I found myself uncomfortable with smartphone. And I searched there's alot people with same thinking. I wonder where did you find moto razer in such good condition. Nokia 2720 isn't launched in India. We don't have good option of basic phone from any company.
I wonder is this some trade between news media, social media and mobile companies ! Having people's attention is the money today.
Anyways it's good to see more n more people moving back to basics and realising smartphone or social media isn't something which run world.
Hopefully at the mid of this century we will again start inventing things practically. We will have discoveries and people will discuss more about farming and living and production instead of being service provider or being in social media marketing.
I can't put everything I want to say in clear words. Thank you for video.
Bring back messaging phones!
The Samsung Sidekick?
That's still my favourite phone :) For the photography side of things get yourself on ebay and buy a Casio Exlim EX-S600 camera. You can fit both of them in the same pocket as the 2 together are about the size of the average smartphone. This was my 2007 technology setup haha! Its only 6 megapixels, but with a popper zoom lens you can still get decent photos and its super fast to use.
I became exhausted being addicted to a smartphone. I got a light phone 2 and have been loving it
I've had the same issues and found out that Kai os modern Nokia phones are really helpful. They can do some smartphones duties but not to the point of using them all the time with hours of screen on time. But as you are doing , I have a main smartphone if needed.
I don't have any electronic devices in my bedroom at all and never allow my cell phone or laptop anywhere but my living room. We ALL need to ween ourselves off of the internet as that is the way we're being monitored and eventually controlled. I really miss buttons and removable batteries; having a call and text only phone will really let you know who your friends are (they're the one's who actually CALL you).
I want to switch too. I don't think some people understand why I need to do it.
Thank you so much.. finally someone raised the issue..I too switched to basic feature phone.
Good luck man!
Very good controle measures. 👏I need to take some of these controls👍
I tried the same few years back, only problem with the basic phone is searching names in contact list considering the T9 keypad (basically typing in any sense). It would take me minutes to find the right name in the list. So I switched to a simple-cheap android phone which enabled many necessary features like call recording, calendar notifications and occasional document scanning/photo. And for everything else I have a better-faster android phone in which I keep data off and only turn it on when I have something of NEED. Working well.
you did the right thing, btw which basic phone did you used ?
@@SUPPOSE_YOU_HAVE_2_DECIDE It was some feature phone from Nokia, the cheap ones.
I am wanting to switch back to a flip phone for the exact reasons you did! It’s too much. Thank you for sharing your video.
I have used a flip phone for a year on and off. I don’t know if I’ll ever go back to a smartphone full time.
Great video keep going!
4:33 You can buy an action camera for capturing photos and videos.
I love this. I have my moms old razr in pink!! I’m just having trouble with the battery
Hey review old mobiles phones to feel nostalgia. Etc : Nokia, Motorola, htc.
By the by l liked this video .
Akshay Chandran follow Mr Mobile
@@ndidaaaa yes I am following Mr mobile . He is cool.
I miss my Razr! Best phone EVER!
i am giving up the phone this week, gave up on fb 2 yrs ago, all social media. Kindle etc. etc and finally it is the phone
Good job. Thank you for the great advice!
I am right now, exactly where you were a year ago! I loved my old Moto Razor... but like you, it would be very difficult me to transition back to the early 2000’s! I have already quit Facebook and Google but obviously am still on CZcams. Baby steps right 😉 And the best thing about old flip phones is that you only have to charge them every few days or so! Can you give us an update on your progress please? You will be my inspiration lol
My old Sony Xperia Z ultra has a battery saving mode which only enables calls and texts in some sort of basic UI mode. That could be a good way to limit one's self.
Just bought a Nokia 2720, I use it more often than my iPhone 12 but I keep it around in case I'm going to airports, etc... or need to use an app for something. After I'm done paying it off, I will sell it and see how things go with no smartphone. I still have my Mac and a computer usually nearby, so far its been a great experience going back to a simpler less trackable life.
I had a nice little samsung 3g from tracphone that they said "wasn't compatible" with the new g systems and "wouldn't work in any way." Got it in 2010 for my dad, wasn't used and the battery was still in great shape. If there's 5 g and 4 g, there should still be three g because you can't get to the other two without it. All I wanted was talk and maybe an emergency text and that's IT. I may just go back to a landline & people can just sit and spin, lol.
Thank you for your video and insight. I encourage you to look into a Cat s22 Flip phone. I recently bought one and although I'm getting used to it, I really like it. It's somewhere in the middle between the old Razor and a Smart phone.
It has a voice command flashlight LOL you can't be quiet when you use it. Touch screen, though small, so I use it less. I like the change.
My blackberry passport is my second phone when I want disappear .
Awesome video. But where do you find this Razr model ?
Im there too. But backing out of social media first is a worthwhile step. Ive been off for 3 years. CZcams is quite useful though.
Switched back to a Blackberry Classic Q20 running BB10, it can still run some apps, but no app store, can download some APK's, but is perfect for texting, calling, emails, calendar schedules, web browsing.
My iphone7 with sentimental value has started to be unreliable in calls. I looked for a basic second phone just for the call function worth about 10USD. Glad I saw it can also be a bluetooth repeater of calls and messages from one of the reviews. Waiting for it to be delivered, hope it works!
Cool! What phone did you end up getting?
Lovely video! ❤️
Even I am planning to move back to Feature/Basic phones.
And this video helped me to get inspired!
Basic phone is like True Love 💓
Simple, cute, affordable, handy, just call and text, that's it! 👌
And for those who want a little more...The good news (that deserves appreciation) is NOKIA is coming up with 4G feature phones!! Which would obviously serve the purpose of better Calling and Web browsing.
It will have also have Facebook and Whatsapp to meet our daily needs. But I believe those will have lesser notification and
Less 'notification' = More 'peace' !
Facebook and whatsapp are not daily needs. They are soul sucking distractions
I ended up here searching for an advise after i watched "The Social Dilemma", a very well made documentary about the inflicted addiction of big social companies like facebook, twitter, google; hand in hand with the smartphone companies. I'm born in 1985 and i had a very beautiful childhood, tech-free. I had Nokia dumbphones and was so nice writing messages to my gorlfriends from them, hehe - and playing snake! I miss those times. I want to go back. Your "drawer" options is very good, but i think i must buy another sim card with a new number to use a "dumb" phone. Thank you for this video! God bless you, brother!
Switched a month ago. One of the best decisions of my life.
are there any flip phones that can post on Instagram? I was thinking about buying the new Kyrocera dura xv extreme
how did you get the old razr to get service? I have one but every carrier told me that the hardware is too old to function on 4g networks. thank you!
Did you ever figure this out??
Just optimalize reminder function, like it's not just about birthday, you can put "Meeting at 10" and the phone will ring the alarm at 10 or at least 10 minutes before the meeting.
I did this in 2015 or 2016, don’t remember exactly when. Haven’t looked back. Not having to rely on the conveniences of a smartphone has made me less lazy and more resourceful
Now u r not using smart phone?
@@Supermanindia98 That’s right
Great video I’m using a flip phone for phone calls with a cheap price. I decided to use my iPhone 7 as my camera because it does take great pic with the help of adding lenses in front like a real digital camera lol. I have a gps in my purse if I need it. Have a happy new year 💜😘👍😇 glad I’m not the only one who feels like that. 👍
Hey! Would ne nice to get an update anout this! Are you still using the flip or switched back to Android?
Does anyone know if I put my 4G SIM card into a 3G flip from the late 2000s it would work totally fine? Is it just that it'll not work anymore at the end of 2022, when Verizon is discontinuing 3G?
I know people that do either this:
1. use a basic cellphone and carry a non-LTE tablet
2. downgrade to a basic cellphone and use their smartphone like a tablet or multimedia device
With a basic cell phone -- only calls and texts, no data. Saves you lots of money.
A non-LTE tablet or smartphone without a SIM card inside just relies on an Internet connection; so in a way that limits the use to some capacity. Without an Internet connection, a tablet or smartphone can be used for offline stuff, like note taking, music/movies (if you downloaded them locally to the storage) or a camera.
What carrier still supports an old gsm phone like that? Around where I live, even 3g is about to sunset so its a bummer if you want to use an old phone
those phones have a charm to them, alot of high tech stuff can get pretentious lol
I'm just in the process of switching. I have had many flip phones and loved them.
That's a good video! I'm a Japanese writer. The name is ``Mikan Oshidari'（忍足みかん🍊）'. I'm writing a book called ``I Want to Quit Being a Smartphone Slave.'' I switched to a flip phone because of my smartphone addiction. It's all about mental health. I no longer get tired of smartphone screens, notification sounds, and unnecessary connections. It's comfortable. Only the really necessary communications will come to your flip phone. There is no inconvenience. I think flip phones should be reevaluated more globally. I hear that young people in America are paying the most attention to flip phones. Thank you for the wonderful video.
Can you use an iPhone 11 SIM card on one of the Motorola razr v3? Will it work with 4g?
You should try the new Nokia 2720 flip phone. Talk, Text decent enough camera for memo stuff and decent storage. enough connectivity that you can use it in emergency situations but you certainly won't be choosing to spend hours surfing on there.
Going through this now, want to go back to a flip,but need iPhone for work sometime. Trying to figure it out. Might find a burner flip or brick phone and leave the iPhone put up unless i have to have it. Don’t have the will power to delete apps and leave them deleted.
You can carry smartphone when going out and switch to small keypad phones when at home to receive calls etc
Very well said and I heartily agree with you.
Thanks for sharing your experience.. I am also doing that nowadays. Feeling difficulty only in paying online as I do it via digital wallet. Rest everything is good and relaxing. Really...!!!
Hooray for this type of phone,,, take your life back🚶♀️
HTC once did it with a Bluetooth phone companion device I don't know the name but it was great
Hello! How are you doing with your dumbphone? I am still with the smartphone detox. I have the Nokia 2720 Flip, I love this phone but with the hard use I give it some days (phone calls only and whatsapp like today) the battery only lasts ~8 hrs.. Anyway I am glad there are more people giving a try to ditch their smartphones! I also got the Hisense A5 Pro CC with e-ink screen... but as someone commented here, it will be a very expensive dumbphone...
i would love to do this, i think it would help me a lot. but i don’t think my parents would approve since they spent a lot on my iphone xr
I Thought Upgrading to a Smartphone would Make Life More Easier instead it turned my Life into Hell I just Can't wait to Go back to Modern Button phones again...
