  I tried this myself, but it’s hard for a few reasons:

  • Messaging actually takes more time (defeats some of the purpose)
  • No banking apps (inconvenient)
  • No proprietary 2FA (nonstarter for work reasons)
  • No “let me Google that real quick” moments (comparison shopping when in store, looking up a phone number for a restaurant, etc.).

  Some “dumb” phones still have a web browser and such, so you’re not completely out of luck, but it’s painful.
