GRBLDevelopedon I used a dumb phone for 6 months. here’s what I learned

Cons: Not easy to take and share photos due to bad camera and poor at sharing - only setback. Can’t use rideshare or delivery apps. Can’t scan a qr code for service/menu at restaurants. Couldn’t get customer service at Best Buy because they couldn’t scan a qr code.

Pros: Battery life is 4-5 days No advertisements No notifications, doesn’t take your attention

Summary: Feel more calm. Don’t grab phone first thing in the morning or in downtime like a queue. Now have peace and quiet. Gone back to how she learned to drive, paying attention and navigating to the area instead of Google Maps. More confident and aware driver.

Peace from having a dumb phone means she is not going back to smartphone. Moving from a $50 phone to a Sunbeam Daisy phone with a better camera and bigger keys for texting, also can send pic texts properly.
