There's enough app variety to meet your needs. Phones are now just basic pipes to those apps.

- JohnFen 2y agoBut what I want is a phone incapable of running apps. I just want a phone that acts as a phone, does SMS, and ideally has physical number pad.
- Rinzler89 2y agoWhere do you live? Plenty of companies today sell 4G/LTE capable dumbphones or featurephones as they're called, including Nokia.
- JohnFen 2y agoIn the US. I have yet to find an actual dumbphone, though. There are plenty of feature phones, but those are just low-specced smartphones. Better than nothing, but not what I really want. If, for instance, the phone is running something like KaiOS, then it's a low-spec smartphone even if it only presents dumbphone functionality.
- SkyPuncher 2y agoGet a low spec phone. It’ll be incompatible with a bunch of apps and run most apps so poorly that you won’t want to use them. Unihertz makes several phones that roughly fit your needs

- dzhiurgis 2y ago> acts as a phone, does SMS So literally the worst parts of smartphone - unsolicited calls and SMS and dependency of having a phone number in literally every government form, bank and serious website.
