Is it a good idea to get a flip phone?

Ive rlly wanted one for awhile and like it would def help with my screentime and lowk I LOVE the idea of calling someone and if theyre being annoying just closing the phone shut LOLL and yk I just like the look and aesthetic of the 2000s sooo


I heard theres a pretty cheap one at walmart for like $20 but I need to get a job first so I can pay like the bills for them (I think they come like monthly so idk) but I cant get one rn which makes me sad bc having a job lowk seems fun but I cant rn bc Im in the process of moving :(


anyways do u think having a flip phone is worth it?

 i have a flip phone for this reason, i use the tcl flip 4 5g! its has a browser and maps!.  i had like 8 hrs screen time a day and its helped so much. the one things is with all flip phones is you'll have to go without things like cashapp/paypal/any kind of banking  tho



and yeah, Walmart or target usually have cheap ones. like the tcl flip 3, nokia 2660, acetal go flip 3 and so forth. they are always about 20-30 dollars. you'll have to buy a monthly data card  to use it, which are about 15 dollars a month or more depending on which one you get.

ohhh maybe! i've considered getting one but i would be worried about navigating without maps. also, i'm a college student, and that's a lot easier with a phone ... and i'm sure some jobs necessitate a phone. but if it's right for you, do it!



yeah I'm gonna keep my regular phone just incasee of situations like that but I wanna have my main one be the flip phone yk

depends on your life style but if you think its good for you then go ahead!!! I do recommend contacting your phone provider and asking what phones you could use because some will not allow you to use a flip phone without it having VoLTE 4GB-5GB and sadly that's most of old flip phones that don't have it :( 

I hope you find one though because I have been wanting a Nokia 2660 or a Samsung flip phone!!




tyyyy
