This topic i offer as place for fans of phones with buttons. I use that kinda phone because it's useful - we with my friends prefer use ordinary call to talk; so we don't need these stupid messengers. Also ordinary phone keeps charge much longer than modern smartphone (for me it's important, because i listen music everytime when i go somewhere). Actually, here is biggest reason - in smartphones mostly is bad file management, but i must have full freedom in playlists' forming. Last years i got to know that there are button phones with Android even - Kyocera label.
What you think about buttonphones?

I have an old Iridium 9505 with an extended antenna (has buttons) that I keep for emergencies. It still has better reception than the Thuraya X5 (Doesn’t have buttons).​

 
I have no cell phone at all, I have a landline, which was very hard to get in Oregon, and if someone wishes to talk to me and I am not home, then they can leave a message. To me a phone should just be a phone, I have a computer desktop for anything else, :)

Wow) Well, actually for me all is similar, i use cell phone in my walks more as music player.
 
I have a cellphone with buttons. It's the Nokia 225G manufactured in 2020. Call me paranoid but I don't want smartphones. It was difficult to find a phone like this that doesn't have GPS.

The only problem is that it's not compatible with many networks. Supposedly only works with T-mobile. But I'm in Puerto Rico and works fine with Claro Network.

A friend of mine told me to get a smartphone to chat with her via Whatsapp. What I did is that I got Whatsapp running on my laptop. ;)

Somewhere here at home there must be my 1-button ("ON" - "nominally OFF") iPhone, probably collecting dust on some remote shelf, now harmless thanks to a long since flat battery.
I bought it years ago in a moment of weakness to better fly my drone, and kept using it until it demanded me to read and accept 48 pages of thick legalese before letting me download the latest firmware update. On page 12 I ditched it and purchased a new drone with a cute tiny monitor built in the remote.
Just like Elizabeth I want a phone that is a phone, a whole phone and nothing but a phone - no frills, no internet, no funny games, no camera, no music, no shady apps, no remote tracking, no Big Brother peeking 24/7 over my shoulder.

In short, I WANT A DUMBPHONE!
Any idea where I can get one?

I used for about a year the Sunbeamf1 . When you enter the store you select which features you want. You can get one that just calls and text if you want. But I don't know if I got a defective one or if I was just unlucky but in about a year mine broke. At first sometimes the screen would glitch. Until it just stop displaying anything at all.

Thanks!
I think I'll print out and forget a brochure of it where my wife cannot miss it, should she wonder what I may wish for Christmas... ;)
