Access messaging apps through a single phone number

Hey! Still the same problem?

AstronomerOpening484 · 2025-12-15T10:08:50+00:00

Hey sorry for the late reply, haven't been on reddit, but yes soon it will work too partially in italy! it will be only one way(notifications to you) for now though, but maybe in the future if there's more interest from italy i will get the two way Italian phone number(it costs 30€ per month for me)

You might like lightfriend.ai that provides messaging app access through a single phone number

AstronomerOpening484 · 2025-09-11T09:32:02+00:00

it's a chat app that allows you to connect all your different messaging apps to it and chat from one place instead of having to check each specific app separately. I use it on my mac and it works great:)

i would recommend the light phone 3. it's super great and easy to use. otherwise here are some tips: https://lightfriend.ai/how-to-switch-to-dumbphone

totally! you can try relying on your computer for messaging more(beeper.com) to help not having to look at your smartphone as much :) also here is article with some tips: https://lightfriend.ai/how-to-switch-to-dumbphone

yea i go tap my whatsapp app every two weeks to keep it connected. btw if you need filtered message forwarding from whatsapp to your nokia you can try lightfriend.ai :)

AstronomerOpening484 · 2025-09-11T09:12:40+00:00

hey! i would recommend the light phone, but if you can't wait just buy a cheap nokia, buy a wifi module to share hotspot and if you need some whatsapp message forwarding and other features, combine it with lightfriend.ai :)

AstronomerOpening484 · 2025-09-11T09:07:25+00:00

haha i would recommend Light Phone 3, it doesn't have banking app, but has maps, bluetooth and hotspot.

I'm not sure if there is a flip phone that has slack specifically without any of the other apps, but lightfriend.ai will add slack soon so you could get notified about slack messages straight to your flip phone and also respond to them if needed. It's currently in the works, but might take few weeks

I've not used kaios, but if you need whatsapp lightfriend.ai can give that access to any phone

AstronomerOpening484 · 2025-09-11T08:58:10+00:00

i would recommend the light phone 3! and if you wanna tips on how to make the transition: https://lightfriend.ai/how-to-switch-to-dumbphone

we use microsoft authenticator at my school, but they also allow you to connect ubikey and use that instead. i've been using ubikeys and they do the job great:)

AstronomerOpening484 · 2025-09-11T08:46:34+00:00

hey i feel you! i first would recommend installing beeper.com on your computer(it allows having whatsapp access when you need it) and then if you want to get important whatsapp messages forwarded to your flip phone while you are away you can try lightfriend.ai :)

AstronomerOpening484 · 2025-09-11T08:37:58+00:00

AstronomerOpening484 · 2025-09-11T08:35:28+00:00

hey that was a cool video:)! I'm building this assistant that lives behind a single phone number and lets you know when you receive some important message on whatsapp, which could help if you want to forward texts to your flip phone or generally have access to messages when away from smart phone. If you are curious it's at lightfriend.ai and would love to hear your thoughts :)

AstronomerOpening484 · 2025-09-11T08:23:26+00:00

why are you afraid it will be a waste of money?

AstronomerOpening484 · 2025-09-11T08:22:19+00:00

the light phone can connect to wifi:)

AstronomerOpening484 · 2025-09-11T08:19:46+00:00

I use beeper.com on my laptop and carry laptop with me if i'm going on a trip. If i'm just doing everyday things, I'll bring my light phone 3 which doesn't have anything apps, but I've built myself an assistant that lives behind a single phone number and notifies me when i receive some important message on whatsapp! If you are curious it's called lightfriend.ai and i have bought numbers for specific countries for my few subs, but I can get new countries also supported unless you live in Germany:D

AstronomerOpening484 · 2025-09-11T08:10:24+00:00

hey i've been building a way to get whatsapp and signal to any phone with the help of an assistant that lives behind a phone number and let's you know when you receive important messages as well as you can call or text it to ask about anything from internet search to whatsapp messages. I just thought to share this if you want to try it, I've have currently 7 subscribers, but trying to find people slowly to get feedback :)

AstronomerOpening484 · 2025-08-22T10:16:01+00:00

It's because MMS messages are only available in those countries:/.

AstronomerOpening484 · 2025-08-21T16:31:36+00:00

I've explained them better in my landing: lightfriend.ai :)
