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.

Sometimes, yeah. I think the issue would just be finding the right one. LTE hotspotting, basic text email, and GPS would be important, as well as having an OS that isn't just some chopped up version of Android which entirely defeats the point in my opinion. I don't use 95%+ of the apps on my phone. I hardly even use the web browser.
