housemate and I are sick of smartphone AI and spyware!! looking for cheap, refurbished cellphones from the 00s
- the problem: all models we have found run on 2G, which is rapidly being phased out by all US carriers
- desired features: basic call and text functionality, durability, physical buttons, fits in pocket
there is no reason to believe dumbphones aren’t also riddled with spyware nowadays.
install degoogled lineageos on your phone. modern phones, old school peace of mind.
