Looking for good basic/dumb phone

Discussion in 'Self Improvement' started by Optimum Fortitude, Oct 14, 2018.

  1. Hey guys,

    I terminated my Internet subscription but I still have a good access to the Internet on my smartphone with unlimited data.

    I now want to switch from smartphone to sumb phone.

    I am looking for a classic phone to text and call. It would be OK to have the Internet on it but it has to be very slow and something I cannot look at porn on.

    I am considering buying a Nokia but I'm worried to buy a model that will still allpw me to access porn on it.

    Here is my short list:
    - Nokia 3310 (2017). I'm just worried because it says it has Internet, Facebook and emails.
    - Nokia 105: my number 1 so far, but the screen is uber small and the dimensions are not as good as the 3310. But it's dirt cheap (15 dollars)
    - Nokia 222 but it has internet access
    - Nokia 150

    Do you guys have any recommendations? Has anyone got the 3310 or 105 and can provide a review?
     
  2. I use a Nokia (don't know which model) and even though it is supposed to have internet, I just don't use it.
    I deactivated internet and everything is good.
    Nokia 150 looks good, 3310 could be "too good" for Porn watching.
    In the end it's all about self-discipline!
     
  3. I just bought the most basic one (105). Thanks for the advice!
     
  4. Well. Without Internet at home I hope that will be enough to stay away from porn, social media and all that shit. If it doesn't work well the next step will be to move to a mountaim cabin and never come back tl civilization

    yup, it's all in your thinking and having more faith in yourself that you can accomplish a lot of things. And to be more determined to not focus on your urges and just stay busy in life.

  6. Haha that was funny! :p Well if you're religious then why not pray so you can have strength, courage & will to fight lust.. I know being alone while nobody's at home has been my biggest trigger but slowly I'm moving away from that trigger as well !! Cheers & good luck !! You can cut down the internet but what about fantasizing? Do you have any full proof against it?

    yes, it is not about taking "extreme" actions or becoming homeless and that kind of stuff. Just focus on your life and chase after your dreams and goals because life is full of possibilities out there. Instead of focusing on that negative stuff like chasing after women or sex. it makes me depressed as I think about it.

  8. I live in a tax haven man. I cant even start to describe the damage these places do to one's faith. It's money money and more money. I arrived in this craphole full of faith and now I'm empty. But yea I should use my newfound time to go to church and attend events. Although with the last scandals I'm not sure I want to go to the Catholic mass.

    If I don't PMO I won't really fantazise. I mean I'm not too concerned about that. I just want to end the downward spiral to hell with the porn and the edging.

  9. Yea. Right now I feel like reconnecting with the real - material world is actually the way to go. Social media and the incessant flow of information is hijacking my dopamine receptors just as much as porn. I am addicted to US political news (for real) and I spend hours and hours a day on Twitter and a bunch of news sites. Right now I just want to seriously disconnect and regain total control of my relationship with the Internet.

    just go to a different denomination then, not all churches are bad, just the main leader. I went to catholic mass once and I loved it, but then I went back to my old baptist church and I felt so much better. Just go to the ones that deserves justice.

  11. Money enough to run a lifestyle is good but any excess of money or anything else is bad for mind, body & soul.. Going to a church or not is your choice but if you to read any holy book you like, it'll give you the true meaning of the life.. Cheers & goodluck mate!!

  12. I think that is a very well thought decision. About 2 years ago, I went off the grid from everything:my telephone, internet...everything. It was such a great calming time. It was probably the first time I reached 40 days, it was a glorious time. Girls were all over me and had inner peace.
    But once I met some girls, I decided to buy a new smartphone to stay in touch with them. About a week later, I relapsed and was back to my hole.
    I thought many times to move in a cabin in the mountains but I have found that all these measures:flip phones, living without internet...are escapism tactics.
    What you need to work is on yourself, on building that motivation to not relapse even If you get tempted with the worst temptations.
    Otherwise, you might as well live forever in the mountains!
    Still, it's a wise decision, I commend you for that.

    The dumb phone switch is seeming more appealing. About the only thing I'd see I'd miss from my smartphone is the camera the flash(light). While I don't use the camera often, it can be handy in situations. That flash is certainly handy too.
     
  14. U can buy a keychain flashlight for cheap too dude.

    Guys right now i am using basicphone and i almost one month in completing NOFAP .... this is all because of mainly giving up smartphone....so when i complete 90 days without PMO. and if i start using smartphone again will i fall back to relapse ??? actually i am planning to start using the smartphone after 90days of NOFAP in a small small times little by little so that i wont relapse. Will i relapse easily ?? if i get back my smartphone after 90days ..or my brain will reset and my urges will be just like other people who succeded NOFAP with smartphone.????
     
  19. There's only one way to know: try to use a smartphone after your 90 days. If however you have the slighest thought of using it to access porn, or if you are even slightly worried to relapse, I would not take any chances and keep using the basic phone.
