I would like to try a dumbphone for a while but no one here uses phone calls and SMS anymore, they have all shifted to Whatsapp and sometimes Instagram, so that's a bummer.
I think people use SMS and regular phone calls if they can't find you on whatsapp. Fortunately all have the "Phone" and SMS app already installed.
This person sounds like an absolute control freak and terrible parent. Oh no, eating junk food in bed? Better... come up with a byzantine punishment?
I honestly wouldn't mind a minimal feature super lightweight long battery life cell phone most of the time. Basically phone calls and SMS.

Then best part about the phone is that I'm not tempted to pull it out of my pocket and check social media or browse the web every minute of the day.
It's also one of the smallest phones on the market, fits in the hand and pocket much better than every other phone.
I also have data completely disabled on it. I haven't changed my phone plan yet because I wasn't sure I would be happy with the phone, but Ive been using it about 3 months now and thinking of downgrading to a $10 a month plan.

Are there any that work with Verizon? I'm still using a phone that I got in 2011 because from what I can tell none of the feature phones work on Verizon towers.
Look for their prepaid phone offerings. There's some feature phones in that line up, and it'll work with any plan. On Amazon, search by carrier, sort by lowest price. Some are low end Android, but some are feature phones. In my experience really low end android phones have such little storage they might as well be feature phones. You could only get 1-2 apps on max if you tried.
Amazon lists at least one more but look at the fine print, if it's a 3G model it can't be activated after the end of 2018.

Ha. I was judging her for being too lax for letting her daughter have a smart phone at all.
Honestly, I worry most about the harmful social aspects and part of me wishes the damn things didn't exist. Even for myself ...

this is a very popular south korean snack! https://www.theramenrater.com/tag/ppushu-ppushu/
Half Korean. I thought I figured out some amazing snack when I started eating ramen straight out of the pack. My brother and I would mix it with microwave popcorn (two unhealthy snacks cancel each other out, right?) So it came as a shock when my cousin from Korea came to visit and wasn't impressed with our ramen snacks. "Doesn't everyone do this?" Turned out my Half-Korean friends were doing the same thing (we were a…

Excuse me for assuming, but you must be quite young to not know how to send a text on a burner phone. I can still T9 type like I'm still a freshman in high school, possibly as well as I can type on a smart phone.
I'm rather young- and I know how to T9 type- but I got my flipper in middle school. I honestly quite liked it, not that I ever want to go back now.
(Also, I do not have a mobile phone and I think I do not want one.)
