housemate and I are sick of smartphone AI and spyware!! looking for cheap, refurbished cellphones from the 00s
- the problem: all models we have found run on 2G, which is rapidly being phased out by all US carriers
- desired features: basic call and text functionality, durability, physical buttons, fits in pocket


not interested in downloading apps or connecting to the web, but will look into it, thank you!
There’s plenty of useful offline apps in the F-Droid store, and you don’t need to create an account (I don’t think there’s an option to do so).
oooooh thank you
