SmarterDumbphone is helping people stay off their smartphones without missing what matters. Here’s what our users have to say:
As a mom of three, I have a lot of things going on in my life and I wanted to make sure I didn’t waste my time scrolling on my phone. SmarterDumbphone has made it easier for me to keep on top of my calendar and look up info about the places I need to drive to, and that’s made sticking with just a flip phone much easier.

Aside from the camera, this removes the biggest pain points I have with my dumb phone. Finding things while I’m already out, or tracking event commitments. Being able to translate links is useful for keeping up with my friends that send them too.

After switching to a dumb phone I found it hard dealing with all the stuff I no longer had to hand. I want a simpler life, but as a freelance photographer, I still need access to certain info. SmarterDumbphone gave me back access to the weather and my existing email and calendar services, which meant no more problems. Plus I can still satisfy my cravings for answers to random questions!

I got the new Lightphone because I wanted to spend less time on my iPhone and mostly loved it, but it annoyed me that it didn’t do email and I was worried that I’d miss messages from work. Now I can keep on top of my email from my LP3 without having to carry a second device.

I recently got a dumb phone and so far I am loving the ability to be present for my toddler son. As a parent in the digital age who only wants to do right for their child, SmarterDumbphone has helped make switching to my dumbphone much easier.

I got SmarterDumbphone for my elderly father who loves to talk to his phone but can’t handle all the different apps etc. SmarterDumbphone is easy for him to use because he can just text it – he’s spent hours looking things up and he’s thrilled, and there’s way less tech support for me.
