Would you have consider buying a phone that only makes phone calls?

This is something I am actually considering. I know the sunbeam F1 has a model that does this. There are so many text conversations that could easily be done over the phone. I am not sure I could do it lol…but I am strongly considering it

@cardio79: I have one. It’s a desk phone that I bought last month.
:laughing:
I like that the Sunbeam Dandelion does not support text conversations but DOES let owners define an auto-response text message (“Optional automatic notice to anyone attempting to send you a text message explaining that the phone does not receive text messages”).

You could test whether you could “do it” by replying manually in that way from whatever SMS-capable cellphone you have. There are even Android apps that let Android cellphone users do this automatically.

Oh wow did not know that, that’s really cool and makes me want to consider it even more. I have had just such an amazing experience going on almost two weeks without a smartphone. Although I do have a blackberry keyone coming soon I will only have spotify on it so I can listen to classical music while I read. I am going to put not else on it, no email, texting, nothing. I am currently reading Digital Minimalism by Cal Newport and its has made me reconsider every relationship I have with tech.

I just bought the daisy. Cancelled my order for the mudita. Ultimately all these quality issues specifically the phone call quality was a deal breaker. Looked up a bunch of reviews for the Sunbeam all of which are positive. It has everything I need from a phone and their philosophy is the same as Muditas. I am sure in the future once the mudita gets updates and improvements I will consider it again.

I have considered it! I was debating between the Sunbeam Daisy and the Dandelion, because the latter doesn’t have a camera (and I don’t like having a camera on my phone). In the end I went with the Daisy and will probably stick with it for a while. Right now I use text messaging a little too much to let it go, but that could easily change in the future. I’d consider it a convenience that I like to have, but not an absolute need.
