using a flip phone for a week

[@krazzyrahul8092]

Its the apps we are addicted to. I did the same. I took my sim card and put it in a keypad phone which had only texting and calling and a music player. No camera or internet. Deleted social media. And when i want to take pictures i use my smart phone which basically at this point is just a camera for me. It really helped. I feel happier now ❤❤❤❤

[@serafinaa]

that is such a smart idea - glad to hear that it has worked out for you!

[@krazzyrahul8092]

@@serafinaa Thank you so much ✨

[@babyXelle]

I wish I could delete social media that easy 😭 I have to physically lock my smartphone away even tho my service is on a flip phone 😂

[@_borntoshine]

Awsome idea😍I will also use this method

[@lyledeevore1389]

I ran three businesses utilizing a flip phone from 2009 to 2018 and only bought a smart phone in 2019 right before the pandemic. My employees ridiculed me for having an outdated piece of technology but the really enjoyed Paydays when they would text my flip phone after I paid them extra for for their hard work!!!

[@serafinaa]

hahhaa i love this!

[@arkreate]

can i ask what flip phone you used? i’m looking to buy one for long term :)

i just bought a flip phone today and im so excited lmaooooo

[@pinkavyek]

Seriously been considering doing this, I've been doing my best to keep away from social media for the past 2 years and I've been wanting to fully distance myself from distractions entirely so I can be more productive and focus more time on myself alongside my hobbies. Thanks for the video, it was very well made and I enjoyed it a lot ^^

[@serafinaa]

thank you so much for watching!

[@ModelA]

I used a flip phone (Motorola V3xx) exclusively until just recently when the wireless carriers discontinued the 3G service and forced me into a new smartphone. I miss how I could go a whole week on one battery charge. I miss the clear audio quality. Most of all, I miss the small size and ease of pocket carry. But I have to admit, this GPS navigation stuff is awesome.

[@mehzabin4494]

With this content, you're setting the bar high!! The editing, ideas and everything you used to make this ughh really appreciative!!!

[@serafinaa]

wait that means a lot to me, thank you for this!

[@Ianlee1977]

The experience i had is not exactly getting a dumbphone but having my phone becoming one. It was a month when i didn't pay my phone bill and the telcos decided to suspend my data plan. So even though i had my smartphone, none of the apps could work without a wifi connection. So unless i connected to a public wifi or work wifi, i was pretty much off the grid and i have to admit, looking back, it was liberating AF. No calls, no messages, no picking up my phone just to look at an app. It was freeing to the point that i could focus on my book / kindle when i'm on the subway ride home. Right now i'm thinking of buying a flip phone and just doing a detox for a few months.

[@thelthrythquezada8397]

Girl, the silence!!! I made the switch a while back, and when I go for walks or drive to work or back sometimes I just want to be in my own thoughts. This whole tech boom was fun cause it was "new" back in in the last 30-20 years, but i can do with out it. I miss having a house phone and getting a call. The one good thing about tech is texting, back in the day we had to leave a message on the answering machine, so leaving a text now "hey call me back when you get this is cool" but then it made us feel obligated to reply back right away. I don't even anymore, Ill get to you when I get to you.

[@serafinaa]

i love this !!

I've never had a smartphone ever and I'm so glad :) Although I did use a flip phone from 2008 to 2010. It was not bad but I really didn't need it. Because those times were a bit different. People socialized more back then. Sure we had phones but no one was glued to them 24/7

[@SpaceXplorer13]

I was addicted to using my phone, so I didn't replace it with a flip phone, but I did try to use every single analog substitute that I can find. So far it just means basically every phone thing strictly on my PC, and a dedicated camera for photography.

[@ambiarock590]

I've debated doing this for a bit of time now. I've done one good thing along these lines which is delete social media apps and letting myself be bored in public. I wanna fully commit to the experiment at some point

[@serafinaa]

i totally reccommend it if you can!

[@Oh-That-Guy-Again]

Good! I hate walking zombies with smartphones. Calling and being called and some texting is often enough. You can put some apps on your computer and work at them once a day. Live in the moment. (Oh, and i knew 2 people who died in traffic using their smartphones. Don't let that happen to you!)

[@_borntoshine]

hi there, i just stumbled across this video while searching up my old sony ericsson phone and thought why not going all the way back to it ? atm im using a xiaomi Qin F22 Pro, it is like a dumbphone, but with gps, android and a decent specs. so did you think this is still a good idea to try this even when i grew up with this kind of phones ?

[@VanChef]

This is awesome!

[@serafinaa]

thank you!!

[@MickiMinach]

Watching you go about your day after the flip phone experiment, I'm surprised you already have good habits. You wake up early to workout and work on projects / do productive things. I think you can trust yourself with a smartphone and enjoy some downtime with social media once in a while

[@OndrejChannel]

I would have only one problem with that: no podcasts. Otherwise, I would be fine. Good job! :)

[@serafinaa]

that was for sure a challenge for me!

[@RBT_DATOS]

Are you still using it, do you recommend one, to leave Facebook, Instagram, Tiktok and just use WhatsApp?

[@babyXelle]

I have an iPhone 14 Pro Max, but my service is on a flip phone and it’s wonderful, I only have access to social media during certain times of the day, and most of the day I don’t even pay attention to my flip phone(why would I there’s nothing on it) 😂 I feel like everyone needs a dumb phone it really helps with focus and mental clarity

[@serafinaa]

for sure helps with mental clarity - love that you have one!

[@hawaiifiles]

You can go flip phone only with most tasks as a lot of the stuff on a smartphone can be duplicated on a computer including calling. Just do the social media stuff at home on the computer only.... at home. Flip phone for being out and about. That works.

[@borisdasgupta2170]

Ah i know it might be too late now but for driving u can always use Garmin GPS Edit: and if u want to hear music u can use ipod classic. Ofc u have to adapt yourself to the beautiful sound of mother nature but sometimes yeah u can use an ipod or a walkman. Do it the classic way

[@ToyElizabeth05]

I tried but the most important thing is for me is being connected to my family, in terms of security with the gps or something and the digital wallet

[@53af00d]

Next step, you gotta make music more meaningful and intentional by getting a discman

[@ArchitPatel-tr3yj]

5 minutes to write 2 sentences :-D back on high school I, I mean me and all of my classmates, we could type those 160 characters within seconds. AndEvenWeWereSavingCharactersForNotUsingSpaces :-D I don't think it is necessary to get that far back to quit using smartphone, just quit using it for social media and block as many notifications as possible to disturb you as little as possible. Then you reach the state when you use the phone only when you need it not when the phone wants you to use it. I did this recently and I feel so much more free.
