To be frank, I do think smartphones have made my life worse. I'd happily forego them if it were not for 2FA and how too many businesses expect I can receive texts.

Vertical flip phones from forever ago can handle both of these just fine.

Are you not innundated by spam calls and messages? To me that alone makes the flopphones unusable.

1. Can I buy non-smartphone vertical flip phones?

2. Most 2FA I deal with involves an Authenticator style app.

3. Missing the point: I want to disable texts altogether. For the decade prior to having a smartphone, I had a cell phone with texts disabled (specifically called the provider to disable them).
