Dumbphones

Smartphones dominate the world. But have we become smarter by using them?

This community is oriented for people who prefer either so-called "dumbphones" or "feature phones" in order to regain control of their life.

Here is a very simple set of rules to follow:

  1. Don't be rude to others.
  2. Don't harass or shame somebody for not being hardcore dumbphones fan. Everybody does it his own way.
  3. Keep this community simple: discussions must be dumbphone or smartphone-oriented, not about dogs or food.

All in all, enjoy your time here :D

If you need to run any sort of messaging apps, you're pretty much out of luck with non-Android dumbphones. It might be that some KaiOS phones have a Signal client (they did for Telegram and WhatsApp at one point) but I wouldn't place your bets on it.

The way I do it, is that I have WhatsApp at home only on my computer, and for everything else I just use SMS/calling. Feels more like I'm reliving the MSN days :)
