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.

Never. I think they should still make them though for folks like senior citizens. OP don't take that as an insult please lol. My grandfather is pretty sharp for his age but has always been bad with technology. It's getting harder and harder to get him dumb phones according to my parents. With him being pretty sound mentally I'm concerned about the folks who are less so.
