I have an android phone but think I want to go rid of it. Anyone on poal live life without a smartphone? Is it possible to live in 2021 without one? I was thinking of getting an old sms/voice call phone, but don't even like the idea of them. I remember the days before any cell phones back in the 90s, but can you do the same now?

I carry no electronics with me
Old sms text message and voice call phone
I have an android/iPhone but rarely bring it out with me, just if I think I'll need it
Smart phone always with me
Fuck You!

i lived without a smartphone until 2019 or so

my old phone was a burner samsung a157 from walmart. i loved that thing.

bought a kai os phone to try for $30.... its just.. not.. good. not enough CPU/RAM to run the OS

Damnit. I read "kali os" and got all interested.

  • For the poll: 'android' running lineage OS, f-droid & no fingerprint reader unlock. (yeah, I know "nothing is completely safe" but I'm kind of on call for family and some elders, so try to mitigate risks where I can.)
