housemate and I are sick of smartphone AI and spyware!! looking for cheap, refurbished cellphones from the 00s
- the problem: all models we have found run on 2G, which is rapidly being phased out by all US carriers
- desired features: basic call and text functionality, durability, physical buttons, fits in pocket


follow up Q; can Graphene run Signal? I know it’s not the most secure app out there, but it’s what most of my collaborators use
There’s an alternative client for Signal called Molly, that has additional privacy options, is fully open source, and doesn’t use Google for notifications.
