Using a Dumb Phone for a Year

Great video! I’m like 80% convinced to get a light phone instead of just stripping down the apps on my phone like I’ve already done.

Here from the Algorithm

First math professor that makes me comfortable and I enjoy listening to??? Imma subscribe ASAP.

i spent 1157 hours on my phone this year, i should ask my parents to buy me a flip phone.

I just bought my second flip phone after frying the first one's battery. One of my goals for a few years has been to use a flip phone long-term, and I think I'm finally ready to do that. Thanks for this video, I really wanted to see opinions of others who had done more than week-long trials.

Nice! I hate how calls for 2fa interrupt my music, definitely gotta fix my ipods. I also hate how things like transit and stores just assume you have a smartphone.. Everything doesn't need an app. Sounds like a good way to declutter my mind..

Thanks for the overview. I've tried for a week or so on holiday but need to give it a proper go. I do now put my work sim in the dumb phone when I'm on call (which is a week at a time), to avoid looking at work emails, but they are the least of my concerns with excessively browsing mindless rubbish!

Nice to hear your take on a smartphoneless life, I've had my dumbphone for a week now and I feel so relieved. There isn't anything poking my back anymore. The only broblem I've run into is buying tickets for public transport, maps and my bank services. Cheers:)

yeah not even 10sec and you named my motivation... here in Germany we still have 2g and I am lucky to use my first smartphone an huawei ideos x3. Because it's so old you can't use the play store. I installed a text editor and a voice recorder, mp3 player was onboard and in theory I could use maps. Browser doesn't work anymore cause it can't handle modern certificates anymore. So it is technically a dumbphone - just phone, text, a notepad and a recorder for my ideas and an mp3 player. Great thing. And you can change the battery. Thanks for the video Josiah - maybe there will be another one from you....

Recently I bought a Light Phone 2 having used other dumb phones. The LP is different because it's one of the smartest dumb phones I've used. It has as many tools as I need and the rest I get from my MacBook when I choose and not when it chooses.

Thanks so much for the video! I love the restraint you have and also would love to see more content from you 👍🏼👌🥰

Love this! I did purchase the Nokia 105 4G phone since I needed one without a camera for work. SIM card is on it's away. Than you for the review.

I got a Nokia flip phone and am waiting for a SIM card to get it activated this week. Pretty excited to disconnect just a bit. I’ve been thinking about doing this for a year now and am ready to take the plunge.

great video. my samsung s20 fe died to today...i was looking for a phone more minimal.

Thanks for making this video; I just purchased the light phone myself and I'm waiting for it to come in after losing an iPhone and, coincidentally, am a middle school teacher as well. I'd love to see more info on the phone. Keep up the videos looks like you got more than 40 views already.

you just gave me the push I needed to actually do it, thank you

I switch to the Light Phone 2 a while back, could care lest to justify it, I just love to hear why others have switched. I didn't have social media addiction (unless you consider YT) I just made the switch cause well I allowed YT to take most of my time vs reading my books.

cool video thanks, would recommend putting a timer next to the timer so you can strategically time your cuts. :) happy new year!

the last thing i saw from you was Dr. Mario, I'm glad you found another thing you do

im thinking about doing this. thanks for the great video.
