A burgeoning cottage industry caters to beleaguered smartphone users desperate to escape their screens.

Stumbled upon this article about the rising popularity of dumbphones.

Hope this community starts getting more traction :)

As for my journey, I am still on a “dumb smartphone” phase, an old phone with only Whatsapp and Spotify. I’ve been considering making the switch to a dumb phone or at least a candybar smartphone like the Qin F21.

    Legit, the nicest time of my adult life was when I ditched my cell and got a landline…well…voip but w.e.

    Now basically the only person I hear from is my wife or work calls. I have friends…but like…a voicemail and return call or email would easily cover our interaction. It’s work that I need the phone for…and lemmy.
