Would be nice to be able to receive messages over Signal, Whatsapp, Telegram etc. However that does not seem to be possible with any 'dumbphone' yet. I just don't use SMS messaging anymore.

- SamBam 5y agoWhen someone finally makes a "dumbphone" that accepts Signal and Whatsapp messages as text, has Maps, and has a nice camera, that will be a game changer. But of course my list for what it needs is different from someone else's, and at that point we'll have a smart phone.
- kkfx 5y agoFor messages, except for proprietary platform that lock out such option, around the world it's not hard to setup a gateway at home to send&receive chats and mirror them (with relevant limitations about length, images etc) via SMS. For chart, while not on par with Google Maps classic PND devices are still on-sale, I use a classic TomTom on my car and so far while less comfortable have always bring me where I want. That's to say: so far it's doable, and adapt personal habits to personal choices without being an eremite it's again possible, just not as much comfortable, it's a classic trade-off.
