I still have an old Blackberry for SMS 2FA.
>- Banking (in the UK now a lot of online purchases must also be verified through the banks app).
We have an Android tablet at home for Chromecast. I just use that. When we're out, I don't tend to make online purchases. When push comes to shove, PayPal is a plan C.
>- Navigating in your city (public transport + just finding places by foot).
I'm one of those people who always knows where North is, and which directions main roads run in. I guess I'm just doing whatever it is that people did 50 years ago?
>- Anything else you've come across that assumes everyone has a smartphone.
I usually just ignore the COVID check-ins if they are phone only. Only one person has stopped me and immediately didn't care when I showed them my dumbphone. Apart from that, literally nothing has caused an issue.
>Also, what benefits have you found through ditching the smartphone?
I am not constantly plugged into an online hate machine. I can look around and realise that, actually, people aren't all that shit after all.
