i don't even do sms on my 'dumb' phone.

when the phone makes a noise, it's either low on battery (or, if it was plugged-in, fully charged), an alarm or timer i set, or a very high probability of being a legit call (the carrier has reasonably-effective blockers for spam, bots and spoofed origin calls).

    Totally respect that.

    I tried a month of dumbphone but realized there was a minimum of "smart" I needed in a daily driving device. My compromise was a low-end smartphone in a flip phone form factor which is just smart enough for what I need.
