Have You Ever Considered a Dumbphone or Do You Currently Use One? (beehaw.org)

I had a dumb phone until around 2011 and I really miss not staring at my phone all of the time. The only thing that gives me pause is my family sending links via text. I've tried other ways to limit screen time but if it's there I'm gonna use it.

i've considered this one for awhile, but never actually made the leap: https://www.thelightphone.com

The Light Phone II does not display images. When you are sent an image to your Light Phone II, you'll see an icon indicating such. There is also an option to forward those images to your email, however, you cannot view the image from the phone itself.

There is also an option to auto-forward URL links sent to you, and you can manually forward any message to your Light Account email as well.
