I'm going on a couple weeks without one and dragging me feet about replacing it. I'm getting a nice break but honestly, it would be tough to part with permanately.

I had to give it up in 2018 for several months. It wasn't bad except for the few times I got lost driving.

I’m fooked unless we get a legit way we can all communicate.

Threw mine in a hot soapy sink full of dishes back in September when they created the covid app tracer in Canada. Don't miss it one bit. I have a landline 🙂

yes!

Won't get a smartphone have an old android

I make calls to check on my sweet Mama. She's 82 and her pissed off level is at 10.0 because of them fool Democrats. When are you gonna catch up with her Vincent 😉? Other than that i come on here. I try not to get too attached to it.

I use it for calls only......it stays in the bathroom unless it rings, or I need to make a call.....I do not use any apps or use it for the internet.

Need to bring back the Nokia 5160

Never believed in smart phones, so we don't own any. A very wise woman once said life changed when "the box" came into the living rooms. People quit stopping by to visit, they stayed home watching the box. 😔 Smart phones are another "box" that now has taken over the world's attention robbing people of real interaction with others.

why dont we just remove the corp that is spying on us and using the techonology deceptively and maliciously? You will not convince me it's not possible to do. Unfortunately technological advancement has surpassed spiritual advancement on Earth. I pray that the field will be balanced very soon

I do not care for smart phones. I prefer to have control over my system (i.e. laptop) and Linux is the best option - away from Big Tech.

Got a blackberry Priv, Android 6
Won't run their app. runs WeGo though best kind!

My vote is yes, but I clicked fooked....just because, well....it's FOOKED😄

i had plain old flip phone for the longest time. resisted smart phone. jumped on board 3 years later. i enjoy the convenience of smart phone, but lived more of my life without one than with one. i would be fine without it.

use mine for whats app but at end of feb will change to signal., never go online with cell

I use my WisdomPhone often! Prayer!

Flip phones are like $20...4 54632 6477 69 66542...

I kinda miss my nokia

LQL!

Yes, I would give up My smartphone without any hesitation ✅💯.

With eOS you can have a Goggle-less, Apple-less smartphone FOR FREE, RIGHT NOW on a former or refurbished android smartphone. In europe (or USA starting early february) they can sell you one with the OS preinstalled.
Or else you can use the installer on PC, mac or linux (for a selection of models), OR install it yourself if you are tech savy.
They even changed the little drivers (antenna etc.) so that it doesn't leak to google.

Downside: The OpenCam software is not very good at the moment, some people put back a modded google one instead.

have a cell..but no service...mainly use in the bathroom..while showering!:)

I lived the first 25 years of my life without a cell phone. I grew up when you still had to memorize important phone numbers in case they were needed (still remember 90% of those phone numbers) & dial w/ a rotary phone. I still have & use an operable rotary phone in my home. Unlike most people, I do not live by my cell phone. Sometimes, I let it go dead for days...oops 😉 accidentally of course. But I do so for peace & privacy. As such, if there came a time where it was necessary to give up my cell phone... I would gladly give mine up without a second thought... but that's just me.

No Vincent, I am not consenting if I have one. Just because some tyranical corp might act like that is the case by throwing it into an illegal tos does not make it so.

You may not contract away your constitutional rights.

i cant. i am on call for work and need. when not on call dont pay attention to it. have landline still

Actively working on getting rid of them now. And looking at the comments on this thread, I can tell you that I have a friend from 7 years ago that said she would talk about things and then get ads. At the time, I just thought she was a little nuts.

I survived 25 years without them, I'll gladly toss mine back to my boss and welcome "the stone age" back!
