Dumb Phones

[Lonestar]

I had the D600. I had it when they came out and loved it, but like the chump I was it got discarded in favour of next years plastic willy substitute. One of the best phones I ever had.

I've had my Galaxy Win for a year now and not looking to change it as im happy with it.Only mainly use it for work not not that often.

I have a Nokia 6303i Classic. Many, many years old - still has an excellent battery and tough as nails - I love it.

I wish my Dad would stick with a dumb phone. He insists on getting better smart phones every 2 years and he still can't use them for toffee

I wanted a cheap pay-as-you-go phone for cycling so I walked in to Carphone Warehouse and asked for the cheapest phone they had. The salesman showed me an Alcatel phone for £2.99. "Good!" sez I. "Any cheaper?" and he rather shamefully produced this, which he said I could have for 99 pence:

That red was actually a rather tasteless sex-toy pink. I have my standards so I stuck with the black version at £2.99. It has only ever rung once and when it did, in my jersey pocket, my cycling buddy and I thought the noise was a helicopter or a farm vehicle following us. Mrs Gti was a bit miffed that the only time she ever called me, I didn't pick up. So I changed the ringtone to the William Patel Overture at full volume, though it hasn't rung since then. Actually the phone is difficult to use because I don't know what the four top buttons are for.

Its so dire as to be effectively unusable.

It seems a surprising number of us use dumb phones, for many a reason.

So whatya got?

I'm running a mighty beast of a Nokia 225. Cost me all of nothing by cashing in a few Tesco Clubcard points... View attachment 100034

That is quite spectacular in its nastiness.

My trusty old Nokia 1650 is my weapon of choice when away camping. I get about 6hrs talk time and over a week on standby with this.

I always feel superior to those sad souls you see hanging around the toilet block on campsites late at night, waiting for their awesome smart phones to recharge - yet again

Why do you want a phone that can call people.

I used to love the nokia 3210 a really good little phone but I am a bit of a phone snob and have always had top of the range phones.

Yes, I agree, I doubt they are meant to be melted down into confectionary.... Has anyone ever told him??

This is mine. Suppose to be simple to use for the elderly, although it keeps turning its self off when I have it but not with anyone else.

Now that is weird.

I had the same problem a few days ago.

I'm a bit of a retro fan and bought a fully refurbished Motorola Razr flip phone in full working order.
Anyway whenever I rang or received calls it would cut off and switch off after about 5-10 seconds.

Supplier checked it out,using a few different sims,networks etc, couldn't find anything wrong with it , just me , so had a refund. Odd?

I'd prefer to do the calling. A phone that calls people wouldn't actually be a dumb phone.
