#dumbphone — Public Fediverse posts

Hab das Smartphone eben verkauft. Und jetzt festgestellt, dass Signal Desktop gern möchte, dass ich mit dem Smartphone verbunden geblieben wäre - jetzt muss ich erstmal rauskriegen, wie ich das alles sicher und neu via Dumbphone aufziehe. Bin froh, wenn ich mich finally technisch neu sortiert hab. Und darüber, dass ich wieder ein bisschen Kraft für diese Tech-Orga hab weil mir das eigentlich Spaß macht 😊 #degoogle #signal #dumbphone

Has anyone used this or has even better suggestion?

I'm now in need of a dumb phone that I can travel around with - a phrase that I hadn't imagined myself muttering.

Ideally something that looks similar - something that people don't need half a brain to tell that it cannot install apps and only works with calls and text.

TIL that the #Taxis app on #KaiOS (the #dumbPhone #OS) does #Uber rides

This means, #flipPhones can get Uber rides.

I know this sounds contradictory, but is there such a thing as a #dumbphone that runs a privacy respecting version of #android, similar to /e/OS? I'm planning to buy a phone for a kid, and I was originally looking at a #Nokia3210 or something similar. No apps or internet access. But then I wondered if a compromise existed. Specifically, it would be nice to be able to setup #owntracks on the phone, for location sharing, and maybe a few other useful apps, like #comaps. Does such a device exist? 🤔

@NorCalWineLady

While I'm aware of the various de-googled versions of Android, and various other Linux-based non-Android platforms, I'm afraid I can't offer any recommendations, because I have no experience with any of them - or of Android or IOS, either. I don't have a smartphone. Or a dumbphone.

The others contributing in this thread have mentioned some I wasn't familiar with. Anecdotally, running any non-mainstream phone OS means putting up with a lot of quirks, but perhaps they have had better experiences.
