I am going to go basic mobile. recently got a Nokia 3310 3G for my Mom, and it got me to thinking. what if I could switch to a basic mobile phone, that I dint need to check it all the time. I have tried this a few years ago, and after a week, quit when the withdrawal symptoms kicked in.
This time I am going to do a month, and review.
Rules.
1. I will still have my Samsung S9 with the smartphone subscription. I will check it only once a day, in the evening, mainly to check whatsapp messages.
2. My Nokia 3310 3G will be my companion. using Google voice and call forwarding from my S9, I will be able to receive all calls. just that when i make a call, it will show my Nokia number and i will have to explain people why the caller id is different. thats ok.
3. Log my experiences of this switch, how it is impacting my life.
Freedom from smartphones that make you dumb, here i come!
