Dumbphones

Smartphones dominate the world. But have we become smarter by using them?

This community is oriented for people who prefer either so-called "dumbphones" or "feature phones" in order to regain control of their life.

Here is a very simple set of rules to follow:

  1. Don't be rude to others.
  2. Don't harass or shame somebody for not being hardcore dumbphones fan. Everybody does it his own way.
  3. Keep this community simple: discussions must be dumbphone or smartphone-oriented, not about dogs or food.

All in all, enjoy your time here :D

Cheap USA carrier? (lemmy.world)

I currently use a Light Phone II through US Mobile. It's not working out, however, because my phone randomly loses service and can't access any of the data i'm paying for.

I'm trying to find another carrier that's not super expensive, and it seems like my options are US Mobile (doesn't work) or Tello (i don't like their privacy policy).

Things like them having access to all details about my contacts, keystrokes and cursor movements on their site, tracking for ads, etc.

Are there any carriers with plans cheaper than LP's $25/month that don't do the above stuff that Tello does?

I'm also considering the Light Phone's own plan, since it should definitely work with my phone. I'm just hesitant because it's 2.5 times the price of my current plan.
