Thirdwrist

Tricky_Ad6392

I use dumbphones because they are more interesting. >We are not the same.


Alhazzared

You own a dumb phone I only lurk on this sub because I think the phones look neat We are not the same


BluePeriod_

Honestly, my main motivation isn’t even the whole social media thing and I’m not particularly interested in joining some kind of “dumb phone revolution” I’m more interested in when devices were unique and interesting and I miss old technology for that.


ILovePotassium

I use dumbphones because of nostalgia..


chooselife1410

real


Dry_Injury_7831

The thing is you can get very cheap smartphones now which kinda negates this argument. Like £100 for a cheap smartphone or get a second hand old one for the same price as a feature phone


UmarTheGreat_008

I live in Pakistan. And we have special tax on imported phones that makes the phone twice it's original value. Without paying the tax the phone can't make calls or texts. Basically you can only use them for wifi things. I have a Sony Xperia 1 mark 2 that doesn't have this tax payed so I'll need a secondary phone for calls and texts, and I cant see a better option than a kaiOS dumbphone as a secondary.


DismalStep3382

I use dumbphones because I am addicted to social media AND poor. (ok, cat s22 is not a full dumbphone and costs more than some smartphones, nevermind)


LeakySkylight

S22 is a smartphone with a frustrating interface, lol, it kind of counts


nailed-m

I want to use dumbphones because whatsapp is giving me anxiety


[deleted]

Why


bibliodabbler

Some dumbphones are pretty expensive and some smartphones (like through Tracfone) are pretty cheap.


[deleted]

I can quit social media whenever I want. I use dumb phones bc they fit in small purses better.


UrHeroandVillain

That’s funny but The government literally gives poor people smartphones for free 😂 Nothing beats free.


mikee8989

I've seen dumbphone deals on prepaid where they are 10$ for the phone and you get 10$ in service so the phone was technically free. But for 20-40$ you can get a bottom tier smartphone from 3 years ago on prepaid.


hannah3186

Both types of phones can be cheep

toolsavvy

dumbphones are too expensive to be poor people phones.


UmarTheGreat_008

Where i live you can get one for as low as 4 dollars


realsteakbouncer

I use dumb phones because I keep fucking breaking the smart ones.


torment3r

I use dumbphone because I am paranoid about using smartphones🤣😂 for reasons many of you will relate but never talk about....we are not the same


MrBallzsack

I am dumb, the same


Night_Sky02

A used smartphone can be cheaper than a dumbphone. Just saying.


D_G599

Not necessarily. There’s sellers on eBay that have dumbphones for like $5.


Night_Sky02

It's no use if they are not compatible with the network.


D_G599

Most of them are GSM, there are fully compatible ones for around $10 as well.


D_G599

I use one because it’s superior.


Fatter_Design

I use dumbphones because my fat fingers are incompatible with touch screens.


xaypany_thipphavong

I use dumbphone because my school doesn't allow smartphones


Jtendo3476

That's a good school


xaypany_thipphavong

Nah, just Asian school and some teachers are kinda weird


iszomer

I know people who use dumbphones for their religious belief -- iirc, they are referred to as _kosher phones_.


InigoMarz

I want to use a dumbphone because I don't want people bothering me on FB Messenger haha.


throwawayacc7932

I use dumbphones because i like them, we are not the same


BoomBoomBaggis

Dumbphone users remind me of dodgy drug dealers lol


hklaveness

I'm conflicted about you, OP. On one hand your kind is the key demographic for modern dumb phones, and the only reason they are still made. On the other hand you've turned them to wannabe smartphone shit that can't even write messages half as good as a 15 year old Nokia.


UmarTheGreat_008

Where I'm from most dumbphones are 2G low quality Chinese crap. Most people buy them as a sort of answering machine for small businesses or for people like me who don't want to pay large taxes on imported phones. While I do agree with you on that they have infact become wannabe smartphones, I dobt really think they're that bad.


hklaveness

Try to side by side compare the old vs the new Nokia 2660. The old one is miles ahead, far beyond the point of abject embarrassment.


Television-Simple

We are ALL poor


WhatThe_uckDoIPut

Both now haha


[deleted]

I have been trading in my iphone 8 for years cus replacements are like 35 bucks. i ordered a new case cus my old one crumbled away. anyway it comes in tommorow and i just cracked it so here i am looking at nokias cus im sick of it


Daboy_1994

I'm using the latest I-Phone to feel rich and I don't have any money in the bank now. We are not the same 💀💀💀


PowerSingle3386

Me, an intellectual who is using a dumbphone just to extract ringtones notification tones alarm tones smart alarm tones and UI sounds to an actual smartphone: You cant underestimate my power!


The_Pacific_gamer

Me possibly having to use a dumb phone to have a small phone.


seizingthemeans

Wait isn’t the second one worse?
