Thank you for sharing your experiences! I've been trying to prepare myself to transition to a dumb phone and downloaded WhatsApp and Signal to my computer, so I can respond there. It's not as convenient but it at least keeps you connected!

love this! i've been embracing dumbphones lately and used a nokia 225 briefly but dont think i'll be able to get rid of whatsapp yet. i'm an american living in london and it's just too hard to not have that access to family in case of an emergency. ive just ordered a flip phone with android, so i'm hoping that will be the best of both worlds!

I get it -- also an American living in London! I'm in the US right now, but when I go back, I'm not sure what I'll do. I might copy you and get an Android flip phone!

I got the LG Smart Folder x100s from y2kphones, so it can download most apps on the playstore, but my goal is to keep them to a minimum! I definitely recommend looking into smart flip phones
