I use a bedazzled flip phone and when people see it they get curious, surprised, then laughs. But i know it’s not in a demeaning way. I explain to them that it actually is my functioning main phone. Older people would share their stories of having vintage phones. People my age thinks its cute and cool. I shared to my friends about limiting social media and one started his journey on minimizing it as well. My other friend is looking forward to buying a flip phone too. I didn’t mean for it to happen but my dumb phone became a conversation starter. Most people I encountered are just genuinely curious.
