I own a smartphone, but I use it like I'd use a tablet - wifi only, at home. My primary phone, the only one I take with me to work most of the time, is just a pay-as-you-go flip phone.
In fact, I didn't downgrade to this from a smartphone. I've never had a smartphone with phone service, that I carry around with me or use. Maybe I don't know what I'm missing. Maybe I don't want to know.
The only real thing I wish I had was an easier way to carry on text conversations. Typing on a phone dialpad is not very fast. Most of the time I can use Verizon Message+ which works in a web browser and lets me send SMS from my own phone number. But when I'm not near a computer, I can't do that.

- mcovey 8y agoI like being able to use it in bed with one hand, and occasionally to have pocketability, to bring it to things where I'll have to do a lot of waiting, like doctor appointments or being a passenger on a long ride. I looked into small tablets a while ago and found that the selection was pretty limited and none of the few that looked reasonable could easily run LineageOS. But a phone with no SIM card or plan is basically just a really small tablet anyway.
