>jeets get to use $10 keypad phones while amerisharts like me dont get shit for dumbphoneswhy is the world so unfair?
>e-wasteBegone you animal
>>108009547>ewaste even though it makes calls, can be used to make payments, and can send text messageskys
>>108009557yes, a smartphone can do all of that
Don't understand the zoomer obsession with these old feature phones because literally any smartphone can be turned into a dumbphone. Just don't install any social media apps. Don't login to google. Keep mobile data turned off. You can still call and text and listen to music and do whatever you want. It's just a matter of self-control, which (You) don't have. I don't even get why people romanticize this era of cell phone because niggas at my high school were just as addicted to texting each other and being on them constantly as any teenager I see today.
I need a (chink) dumbphone that has like 10000mAh battery, now that would be super useful
>>108009535>$10How many shill threads does a jeet need to make to afford one of these?
>>108009618they just cant help themselves!
>>1080098396-7
>>108009618100% they also don't want to blame themselves for what they do. Instead of saying "its me" they say "its my phone". Somethings I can understand should be blamed but technology YOU FUCKING USE. However I wish I could buy the two matrix phones from the movies. Can't even get those because they are 999999999999999999999999999$ when i wouldn't even use them!
>>108009618Smart phones are>huge and dont fit in your pocket>thr battery drains in 45 minutes >cost 1 to 2k, which zoomers cannot comprehend because they have never experienced ownership of anything in their month to month plan lives>radiates your brain with 5G whatever, which they also dont understand because they've gotten it from birth >make you look like a complete faggot No zoom zooms, we will be taking baby waby's steam deck phone until youre mature enough to use it on your own
>>108009964>cost 1 to 2kIf you're a wasteful moron who only buys super high end devices.
>>108009964Nobody is making you use a brand new 7 inch brick device. In the US at least AT&T lets you go back as far as the S4 and 6S which are both compact unobtrusive phones.
>>108009976You may only voice your opinion if you own a house. If you do not own a house you did not work hard enough to have an opinion worth a damn. And your month to month iphone plan is probably shit too
>>108009976Paying anything more than $10 for what the OP describes is wasteful. Post nose.>>108010032>Nobody is making you use>In the US at leastDid you jump the border yesterday? 3G was shut down only a couple of years ago.
>>108010112https://www.att.com/scmsassets/support/wireless/devices-working-on-att-network.pdfHere's your compact removable battery non-jewish 4g-only phones anon. At least like 40 of the devices on this list are over a decade old.
>>108010135OK but landlines have worked for over 100 years without deprecation
>>108009618>smartphones cost $300-$2,000>too big>no replaceable battery>no headphone jack>no physical keyboard>5G
>>108010146Landlines have also gained almost no functionality while wireless data speeds and reach have. I hate the Jewish march of technology as much as you do but when the FCC gives you such a small segment of frequencies and the goycattle demand faster phones then you gotta get rid of old stuff. Buy an old 4G phone and enjoy it while you still can.
>>108010135That's really cool! Can't wait until the 4G towers are shut off in a decade too to be left with another brick. :D
>>108009535how tf these new dumbphones so much worse than 20yo sony ericsson/nokia/siemens/samsung dumbphones? i have a sony ericsson k750i lying around and i can't use it anymore because the kikes decided to shut down 2G, but that thing has only 8MB ram and it is faster and has more features than any modern dumbphone, i guess the old phone firmwares were written by the white engineers in assembly and the new ones by the jeets in javascript
I cant get portable mp3 players where i am, but i can get similar to OP,s dumb phone for $50 and use it as an mp3 player + phone. Im not indian or in india btw.>>108010189Keep it as an mp3 player when that happens. dumbphone i have can expand up to 128GB sdcard.
>>108010242>new ones by the jeets in javascriptIt wouldn't surprise me. SIM cards run fucking Java. You read that right.
>>108010275AI agrees
If I get mugged and I give a dumb phone to the burglar he will just shoot me. It has happened before (I live in mexiscrement). I carry around a broken 7 year old Xiaomi just in case, as long as it looks modern
>>108009618>i need a $5 screwdriver>nope, heres a $200 set of all the tools youd ever need, thats the only way to have a screwdriverYou can daily drive a semi truck, they actually get a similar fuel economy to modern f150's even.You can wear full FRC and steel toe boots everywhere as your daily attire.And you can eat a full multi course meal for every meal of the day.But we dont do those things because theyre so excessive theyre impractical, we have scaled down solutions to those needs. If you dont need the tools that a modern smartphone offers and simply want a less complex device where its inherent positives are better for you, the problem is there are almost no solutions to that in the united states. Theres like a dozen phones that do that and they all suck.
>>108010242you're comparing a featurephone made near the very peak of featurephone manufacturing that had a $630 MSRP(would've probably been 2-300 on contract or whatever) in 2005 money to phones made today to the absolute cheapest quality with zero attention paid to functionality or usability beyond "yes it works" being sold for $20-50 in (comparatively worthless) 2026 money.this is also ignoring the standard manufacturing regression when, once "peak" techniques/hardware becomes obsolete and an industry moves on it becomes completely fucking lost and unreproducible and all that can be done to replicate it is imitate it at, at best, 90~% quality.
>>108010032>S4 and 6SA dumbphone is way smaller, has better battery life, and has better reception than either of these.
>>108009618The touch screen and size are the problem not the apps you dumb underage faggot.
Mfw when my nokia 8800 can still make callsNow i just need a new battery cause old one expanded
>>108009535i'd use a basic phone like that but i sort of need whatsapp to easily contact elderly parents. that is my only phone requirement.
>>108009535Sar plees kya aap jaanate it can it run Android balaclava ??
>>108009535move to mumbai then, cuck
>>108010242as far as I know they slap android into them and of course it behaves like some laggy early android device from 2011 plus the bloated software from today
>>108010242also search about j2me
>>108010275>java badagain check about j2me, that thing runs in a toaster, symbian s60 used c++ and it was a laggy garbage
>>108012060>>108012079i use j2me loader to emulate nokia era phone games
>>108009618When you have the ability to browse 4chan on your phone you still have to allocate some mental capacity not to do that. On a dumb phone you dont need to waste your willpower on that, you can use it for something elss
>>108009535Either OP is being obtuse or is part of the crowd of world's dumbest that think their only options are what's directly in front of themThis social contagion needs to be explored.
>>108011933The only apps you need are lyft and venmo
>>108009618i think tactile technology is something they're (rightfully) nostalgic for.
>>108009618>>108011271>>108010168>>108011933>>108012800>>108012155
>>108010242we still have 2G here in indognesia, but we can't use old phones anymore because any devices that were never connected back in 2019 will not register valid IMEIsad
>>108009618The battery lasts forever on them. No, you can't make a smart phone battery last longer than a few days. It just doesn't work like that.
>>108009964>>huge and dont fit in your pocketAre you a woman? Men have decent pocket sizes.
>>108009618>>108009851>>108009864>boomer phones are now for kids that we all hate>we’re all forced to use the most recent iPoop TikTok brainrot machine so we can be old and basedRemember when we also thought smartphone obsession was a “jeet” thing? Now the tides have turned. Anything to get back at people you have a grudge against.
>>108009976>iPhone is now considered a high-end device>most Americans no longer use an iPhone Source/QRD?
It’s so funny seeing the IBM ThinkPad x20 crowd suddenly drooling over smartphones and phablets because the younguns got into their hobby. Remember when Nokia phones were shilled on here?
>>108009557>can be used to make payments???
>>108013574>Unified Payments Interface (UPI) is a real-time, 24/7, instant payment system developed by the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) in 2016. It enables seamless, free, peer-to-peer (P2P) and person-to-merchant (P2M) transactions via mobile apps, linking multiple bank accounts into a single appit's available on feature phones as well
>>108009535Sounds like OP wants to be a jeet. You can start practicing right now, just go outside and start shitting in a street.
>>108009571yes, the one foot long glass slab that needs charging every 6 hours and breaks if you look at it funny is great for portable communication.
I use one to contact my favorite brothel.
>>108009618I hate touch screens. I actually like smart features, but absolutely despise the "optimal phone" for using them. I want a 3 inch long phone with a week long battery life, removable battery, and physical keys, that I can throw down a flight of stairs without fear of breaking it.My ideal phone would be one of the older blackberry phones, the ones with the trackball, but dumb phones are the closest thing I can get.
>>108010032Still too big. Feature phones were half that size. Besides, give it a couple years and those will be bricks too.
>>108013159That I keep a dozen other things in.
>>108012165The list of options for keypad phones in the US is horribly small. They're all carrier locked, which means you have one or two options for phone, and they're always really oversized flip phones with terrible ergonomics running android. Or you can import a phone that won't get reception outside of large cities because it lacks band 13 support.
>>108014501>The list of options for keypad phones in the US is horribly smallI guess if you only look at carriers.>They're all carrier lockedAmazon sells unlocked 4g feature phones all day.>Or you can import a phone that won't get reception outside of large cities because it lacks band 13 support.Most are missing band 13 because it's exclusively used by Verizon.For equivalent GSM range you only need 4G bands 5 and 8 as they are 850mhz700mhz bands rarely make an appearance in my experience and I actually live and travel in a rural aera
>>108014682>Amazon sells unlocked 4g feature phones all day.A lot of those amazon feature phones are 2g or 3g. Others are really heavy rugged phones which weigh more than those massive glass slabs. There are a few that aren't, but they have the band 13 problem. >700mhz bands rarely make an appearance in my experience and I actually live and travel in a rural aeraMaybe that's how it is where you live, but Verizon is the only carrier with reliable coverage where I live.
>>108009618smartphones don't look cool, that's really all there is to it
>>108014775>A lot of those amazon feature phones are 2g or 3gGood thing you have a search bar to look specifically for 4g>Maybe that's how it is where you live, but Verizon is the only carrier with reliable coverage where I live.Have you actually looked at other carriers in the last decade?My aera fell for the Verizon meme but now everyone is on TMobileStill though, you've painted yourself in a corner where any phone must be Verizon compatible, must have the Verizon exclusive b13 and is on a form factor that isn't very popular and coming to a conclusion there are "no options in the US"Most of the US are on networks other than Verizon where device choice is much more open.
>>108009618> literally any smartphone can be turned into a dumbphone. Just don't install any social media apps. Don't login to google. Keep mobile data turned off.lol what? You need to log into icloud/google to use your iOS/android phone. And turning off data defeats the purpose of having a phone in the first place. How are you making calls or texting people? Through wifi? You need an app for that, which also defeats the purpose.
>>108014961If you turn off data then you can still make calls and send SMS/MMS messages. The carrier does that through a separate channel. You just can't use the internet. Of course you wouldn't know this because you're a zoomer retard who has never lived a second without mobile data 24/7.
>>108014961>You need to log into icloud/google to use your iOS/android phone.No you don't, I own both an iPhone (15) and Pixel 9 Pro and I haven't signed into accounts on either of them. As the other anon said, calls and SMS don't require a data connection either, they're handled by a completely different band.
>>108012847
>>108015113>>108015061lol wtf? You need data to make calls and send SMS. You are lying or technically illiterage (nice nig gif btw zoom zoom)
>>108015309turn off mobile data and see what happens
>>108015309>t. born too late to experience the joy of $0.10/sms
>>108014905>Have you actually looked at other carriers in the last decade?Yes. AT&T is better than they used to be, almost good enough but they have a strict device whitelist. T-mobile does not work here at all. Neither did any other carrier any friends or relatives used when they came out here. Every time they came over they had to use our wifi for calls.I should say that even Verizon has spotty coverage here. Which is why we have to keep a landline in addition to the cellphone.
>>108015347Nice try. If I turned off my data I wouldn't be able to post here. Not falling for your troll
>>108015349I've read that if you go by margin the pay-per-message model is one of the most profitable things in history. They cost them fractions of fractions of a cent to send.
>>108015370>T-mobileEven if they don't have a whitelist, about a year ago they started kicking off any device that doesn't have LTE band 71. Basically kills any cheap phone or any phone older than 4-5 years even if you would have gotten service on a different band anyway.
>>108015436Does that also kill all those imported Japanese flip phones that only worked on t-mobile?
>>108009964You must be a special kind of retard if you can’t figure out how to buy a tiny $90 android phone
>>108009618That would be good if they didn't come pre-installed with social media and a fuckton of spyware that you also can't uninstall because it's consider a "core system application". Yes, youtube is considered essential to a smartphone and cannot be uninstalled, only "disabled" which doesn't actually remove it from the device. Similar to all other bloatware.
>>108015458I'm pretty sure, yeah. Band 71 isn't used at all in asia. I don't even think anyone outside of T-Mobile has ever used it.
