I need a Phone. What DUMBphone should i get to last me for 10+ years>SmartphoneNo
cat something
I wonder if it would be feasible to make your own. What's a dumb phone anyway a few radios and a battery? Someone else's firmware, and then get someone to wrap the whole thing in a rugged body.
>>108629828Yeah it's not an impossible task. You can buy plug and play radios for raspberry pis, for example.
>>108629620I heard this phone sucks.
>>108629620Alcatel 1066. Enough for calls
>>108629926Isnt that chinkshit ?
>>108629792the company that made rugged phones under the cat license went out of business in 2024
>>108630151all electronics is chinkshit
>>108630171Guess so. But Nokia is shit nowdaays even their dumbphone is shit might gonna pick this up
google and apple killed the cell phonenow we have shit turds masquerading as phones
>>108630190I haven't tried the modern Nokia, but don't expect much for this Alcatel. It's a basic 2G phone which cost $19. I bought 2, and 2 spare accumulators for $6 each. Battery lasts for about a week, depends how much you're calling. No need for charger, when battery is low, I just pull spare one from a tool box, and another week of power is back. Internal memory is a few kilobytes, so if you want custom wallpaper, ringtone or listen to mp3s over 3,5mm jack headphones, you need microSD card. I got a few 2Gb and 4Gb, this is enough. One thing I don't like is there is just one speaker, Pretty loud for ringtone, but for calls it uses same speaker. Even on lowest volume surroundings hear what the other side talks. But it's ok. Phone survived a lot of drops. Latest was pretty hard when I was getting out of a forklift after stacking hay bales, phone dropped from 2 meters, broke into 3 pieces, but still working like brand new.
>>108629620There are no dumbhones. They are all smartphones but with less user control. The last real dumbphone is along the nokia 3310 era, but even the 3410 already had internet access and isnt really dumb. All these phones can be remotely controlled through the modem to enable remote listening so they aren't secure or private in any way. The best thing you can do is buy a phone that you actually control and make/keep it dumb. Best way is google pixel + GrapheneOS + not installing any apps + disabling WiFi and mobile data. There is your dumb phone.
>>108630412>Best way is google pixel + GrapheneOSnice try micay
>>108629889New Nokia is a different company and has nothing to do with Nokia from 20 years ago.Their phones are cheap plastic shit now.
>>108630326>One thing I don't like is there is just one speaker, Pretty loud for ringtone, but for calls it uses same speaker. Even on lowest volume surroundings hear what the other side talks.Common issue with the modern cheap dumbphones, and it's really fucking stupid.
>>108629792>>108630162They're still available in the US it seems.
>>108630326Can it use custom ringtones ?
I have an obama phone that I bought from a meth-head 10 years ago laying around here somewhere
>>108629620All your unencrypted texts get swallowed up by third party hackersIncluding FedsNaw don't get itiOS has the best encryption available to the mainstream status quoYou could get a GSMK Cryptophone if you got thousands to shell outNMaybe just 2 thousandStill iOS is best bang for yo buckLike an SE second or third gen weigh 3 GB RAM is enough for your everyday needsCause if you want some semblance of privacy your options are quite narrowStay away from Android unless your gonna load Graphene or some comparable anti Google bot net OSAs android is based on linux enough to be configurable as a decent iOS replacement presuming you can somehow encrypt textsWhich Android cannot natively doThe Samsung Text app that became obsolete recently insists migrating to Google Talk or whateverSome real mark of the beast type of manipulation but you know what Silicon Valley and the Zionist monsters in Mossad do best

>>108633275AnalI know if I could stick my Jimmy in a bad hipster NYC bitch you know I would
>>108633282b
>>108629620There's no such thing as a simple dumbphone in current year; best you can get is a KaiOS piece of stuttering shit made for geriatrics. >>108633123Does it have a direct line to Obama?
>>108629620call me when physical keyboards qwerty make a comeback
>>108629620>10+ yearsThey're going to deprecate 5G and 6G to turn your phone into paperweight before that. You need the latest slopphone with the latest spyware, anon.
>>108633975>fxtec>unihertzavailability isn't the main problem. it's just that most apps and things you probably do on the phone is optimized for vertical. having to constantly switch between landscape and portrait gets pretty annoying. in hindsight, the unihertz titan would've probably been a better bet than pic rel
>>108633337BlowjobsCause that's what your mom gave me when she got canned from Wendys
>>108632890my keyboard went to shit after like a year.getting a lightphone 2
>>108629620do you need a dumbphone because your dumb
>>108634256c
>>108633083Yes. In a Music player when playing a song you press Option > Set as ringtone > Set as incoming call ringtone (or Set as alarm ringtone)Pic related is a picture from my Alcatel's camera. Maximum resolution is 240x320 and there is option for 128x160. Why would anyone use that? They even implemented picture effects (Normal, B&W, Blue, Green, Yellow, Red, Sepia, Negative) and digital zoom.
>>108629620I find a basic/entry level smartphone with small 4 inch screen is better choice. Just never connect it to Wifi/Internet and it will be more useful and durable that dumbphone.But its so hard to find this type of smartphone nowadays.
>>108629620just flash lineageos and u won't have to buy anything
>>108629620go with Kosher flip phonehttps://figkosher.com/
>>108634041there are apps that can force other apps into landscape mode even if that isn't officially "supported"
>>108637939>closest shop is in Zürichno I don't think I will
>>108637939Who goes through the effort of making a phone and then calls it the "Kosher flip phone"? Actually the most retarded name i have ever seen for a flip phone
>>108629620Why no smartphone? A "dumbphone" is still going to track you ever 2ms it's on.
>>108638010just forcing apps landscape doesn't make them as usable as they are designed to be in portrait
>>108636254>no physical buttons>>108638134>preddit
