Buy a Dumbphone

What is a dumbphone?

A dumbphone is a simple mobile phone that's limited to basic functions like making calls and sending text messages. Unlike smartphones, which have lots of apps, internet access and multimedia services, dumbphones focus on the essential ways of communicating. They usually have a physical keyboard, a smaller display and a longer battery life.

Fewer distractions, more focus

Have you ever thought about why you’re always looking at your smartphone? A message here, a notification there—and before you know it, minutes or even hours have passed. By eliminating distracting features like social media, email, and games, a dumbphone helps you to reduce the constant digital sensory overload and make you more aware of how you're spending your time and attention.

Back to basics

A dumbphone gets you back to basics: making calls, texting, maybe a few simple tools like an alarm clock or calculator. With fewer distractions from social media, emails and countless apps, you'll realize how free and relaxed you can feel. It's a return to a time when you didn't have to be constantly online and available.

Step by Step

A dumbphone does not have to completely replace your smartphone, but can serve as a supplement or temporary replacement. Make your own rules, for example: Next time you go shopping or for a walk, take only your dumbphone with you and leave your smartphone at home. This way, step by step, you'll experience what it's like to be less distracted by your smartphone and more aware of your surroundings. And if you find you can survive without your smartphone in more situations than you thought...even better.
