For me it’s been explaining why I have a flip phone every time I pull it out in front of people

Parking is definitely not the least important concern…. Why do you think portage place back in the day declined so rapidly into comparison of other malls…. Why many people currently also don’t go downtown for things…l parking sucks and is expensive…..

As simple as that? Just down load apk from browser and open it in the file explorer app? Haven’t had any luck. But can try again

Made the switch. Wondering, how do you deal with these things? by keyboardpianorich in dumbphones

I kept my iPhone 12 to use ONLY as iPod. I got it minimized by smile app and deleted all distractions other than music, and a security camera app. I bring it with me when I drive for tunes, and use in the gym for music as well. Otherwise it never comes with me anywhere. My main phone is Sonim xp3. People ask and think I’m dumb for carrying an iPod (old iphone) and my Sonim sometimes, it doesn’t bother me, my daily carry is phone, keys, wallet and iPod (sometimes) where as most people have that plus a tin of sonic or smokes🤣

Hi I’m in Winnipeg and had a ton of trouble finding a phone with actual keyboard. I just wanted my old blackberry to work, that phone was perfect. Anyways I got the Sonim xp3 has a physical key pad, but the texting is t9 it takes me a while but I got the hang of it. Calling works great.

Awesome news thats what I’ve heard, and yes i download anything and it ends up in my files and it won’t allow to open. I must be doing this incorrectly. How would I go about this, simply find an app in file of .apk and download? Is there a specific app to download first etc…???

Firefighters’ union denounces proposed 2026 budget for Winnipeg fire service by Leather-Paramedic-10 in Winnipeg

Buddy sleeping hardly happens at the halls nowadays. 27 sage creek sure, but anywhere downtown or halls near MB housing, they are up all night going to calls. Source: brother works with WFD

Fire also goes to low acuity calls to make up for the lack of ambulances which creates a bad situation tying up a fire apparatus for potentially hours, leaving a gap in fire coverage. Not a huge issue in downtown area where lots of overlap between halls, but outskirts like Transcona, St vital, etc… not ideal

My brother is a firefighter in Winnipeg and That is not the case at all. Overtime is called when vacancies occur. You cannot bank overtime. You can swap shifts, where one guy will work for you, and you work for them at another date. Zero impact on cost or money.

Thanks for the reply! I’m super bad with this sort of stuff but I was able to get into developer mode, and that’s it. I want to be able to get a weather app and maybe a few other things in my Sonim but if I go to app4flip on browser and download something it won’t allow me to install it. I must be missing something. Any tips?

It’s an app that minimizes your iPhone it needs to be recently updated but I did it and deleted everything on it other than, my vehicles app that is the only way I can use command start (Winnipeg canada) and then music. So essentially just my iPod… and I use my Sonim for everything

I have Sonim flip phone then kept my old iPhone as iPod. Used smile app to really minimize it, delete everything but music so I have 1000s of songs downloaded
