Ask HN: Are there any 4g/LTE dumb phones?
Are there any 4g/LTE dumb phones?
I've recently gone back from smartphones (Note 7 and iPhone 5) to my Nokia 6310i and have found it to be a very good move.
The only thing I'd like more than my 6310i is a 6310i which I can use as an LTE modem - either via Wifi, Bluetooth or USBnet but not RS232 (115200 is a bit slow).
Does anyone make such a phone? (Googling for LTE dumbphone does not turn up much.)
Two weeks+ on standby is the essential feature of the 6310i.

- chrisdew 10y agoThanks, but I don't want to pay for two SIMs/plans. Edit: I'd also prefer not to have to remember to carry two devices.
- phillipseamore 10y agoDon't know where in the world you are, but here in Europe it's not uncommon for carriers to supply an extra data-only SIM at no (or minimal) charge using the same quota as your primary number.
- chrisdew 10y agoI'm in the UK, I didn't know that.
- lnx01 10y agoDoesn't appear so. But here is a list of phones with standby > 768h http://www.gsmarena.com/results.php3?nBatCapacityMin=4000&nBatStandbyMin=768 http://www.gsmarena.com/results.php3?nBatCapacityMin=4000&nB... Click refine to tune the parameters.
- chrisdew 10y agoThanks, but I'm deliberately looking for something non-Android non-iOS.
