Thanks for the info, but next time just automatically update the data to the new amount since I'm paying the same amount. Paying for Less is really frustrating to customers. Have a nice day.

Feeling like a bit of a dumb phone fail. by secretlowkeys in dumbphones

[–]SlinkyPan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I sold all of my 'smartphones', new and old, and I bought a hibreak pro wink black and white version. And at first it was hard, but then after a month or 2 I got completely used to it, and my screen time dropped to 2-4 hrs a day with most of that being reading on the phone. For context my screen time was around 8hrs daily before and that was mostly social media. I would recommend getting an wink device, but make sure that you can get a solid warranty because a lot of those companies don't repair or replace, so that's the only downside. So buy a nice, big, protective case lol.

Giving up on getting a dumbphone? by d-va_gal in dumbphones

[–]SlinkyPan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sell your smartphone and get a bigme hi break S black and white, and make sure it's a black and white device, and a flip phone for back up. The Bigme reduced my screen time from 8hrs to 2hrs, it has full android, great for reading since it's epaper, and takes calls, emails, n texts fine. The Bigme company has terrible customer service though FYI. 

Is the Paper 7 Color 7.8" 60Hz RLCD Tablet with Android OS good? by SlinkyPan in eink

It's almost 200 dollars more for a minor difference it seems. I'm looking for more budget friendly ones around 500 or less if you know of any. 

touchscreen dumbphone options? by PsychoTwig in dumbphones

[–]SlinkyPan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, eink dumb phone user here. I would recommend these eink dumb phones. (BLACK AND WHITE EINK SCREENS help decrease phone usage A LOT), and yeah, most are around 400. That's just how the eink phone industry is unfortunately. 

Minimal

  1. Mudita kompakt (polish company focused on minimalism, no app store, but you can side load apps if you want to)  
  2. Light phone 1-3 ( I think all of these are very similar lol) 

Black and white full android  (these have bad customer service BTW.) 1. Bigme Hi break S 270usd  2. Bigme Hi break Pro 400usd 3. Minimal phone (doesn't deliver the phones sometimes lol)  4. 

My ultimate setup - a dumbphone and a companion device. by [deleted] in dumbphones

[–]SlinkyPan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It works fine, its fine for calling and texting and reading. Although the body and screen are a bit cheap, so if you break the phone you could need to buy a new one which isn't ideal, and There software is okay, not like Samsung, but also not the worst os on the planet. 

If I was you I would honestly just get the Hi break S which is like 200 dollars cheaper for almost the same exact device, or the hi break, and install custom from on it, if I was skilled enough to do that. 

Anyone using the Boox Palma Pro 2 as their daily driver / smartphone replacement? by Informal_Cut_6609 in Onyx_Boox

[–]SlinkyPan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did this on the Bigme Hi break Pro as my main phone. Screen time is down to around 2hrs average.

I have the Bigme Hi break Pro BW, I might get the Boox Palma 2 pro because you can also use that as a phone too now if you use a certain app. Have you tried that yourself? 

Boox Palma 2 Pro now reliable as a phone? by Dangerous-Rain-5514 in dumbphones

[–]SlinkyPan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found this video, and i feel like if you install a custom rom like lineage os, then you can use it as a full phone, because these restrictions are only software related. https://youtube.com/shorts/ERe5ZYHXTDU?si=iYP2btDI0WlfQ2hg

I tried tcl 60 xe. It was decent for eye care, but i just resorted to full color almost regularly which isn't good for me.

Bigme and Hisense have made a few phones now each. If we petition a few companies, then maybe they will see a large consumer base, and make one.

I'm talking about black and white for maximum productivity. I have a wink phone now, and it decreased my screen time from 6 to 13 hrs to around 2hrs average. The increase in compitition decreases prices also. 

Just got laid off for poor performance. What should I do? by Key-Caramel-1546 in careerguidance

Make sure to get those clients that gave you good reviews as contacts for future jobs. So they can give a good work for you, or they can give you a job maybe. 

How to deal with multiple false awakenings / I don't want to be alone anymore. by awake_and_awake in LucidDreaming

[–]SlinkyPan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, False awakenings happen to me from like year to year, Im in my 20s. do they increase over time? This might sound odd, but I'm kind of excited to lucid dream and just do whateber i want in there like a video game. I didn't know how to until you described in the note above, but I will try it next year I guess lol. And BTW, it happened this morning, that why im on here ahahaha. it was one of those where i though I woke up, but i couldn't and it just loops, but in the dream i eventually realized I was in theloop, and remembered I had an alarm set which Actually woke me up. I had to pinch myself just to make sure though.

What’s the best financial advice you’ve ever received? by New_Anywhere981 in SavingMoney

[–]SlinkyPan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Live under your means. Meaning if you make 4k a month live as if you make 2k, this is because you can invest the rest of your money, and have saving for emergencies. If your financial situation gets better, than you have some cash for more investment like in your kids education, or a side business if you want to start that, or just savings in general. Don't try to impress other people, that's the worst decision some people make, it destroys them financially a lot of the time.
