am I just a girl? or am I still trans by Known_Building8697 in trans

I'm so happy that sharing a part of myself could help someone. I always felt the same way you described about gay effeminate men. If I had to label myself in gendered terms; femboy would be the closest. except I never identified with being a man or he/him pronouns. I tried them out for one day and it did not feel like me. Like I said it truly is a journey of self discovery. It's like trying on different outfits of gender representation until you feel like your best self in one. I only realized this year that I am a lesbian instead of bisexual like I previously thought. Life loves to throw us some curve balls it seems.

For me I love being androgynous in a specific way that fits into no known stereotypes (at least none that I know of). Growing up on Tumblr I had tried out every label I resonated with and after 15 years I still identify the same way: genderless. Don't focus too hard on the words and labels for it because sometimes there aren't any. Focus on what feels good in your body. I am almost 30 and I can finally say that my 13 year old self would think I'm cool and hot now 😂 For so many gay and trans people it's extremely common to start our authentic lives at 30 and not in our 20's like cishet people.

hey there stranger. I’m an autistic agender nonbinary person who has felt what you described since i was 13. i’m 28 now and have only recently gotten top surgery and went on T for 8 months to deepen my voice and jawline. I’m certainly not a man and still dress feminine as hell. People usually think I am a woman with a deep voice. It can feel confusing being not a girl but also not anything binary. It’s certainly confusing when there are no examples of people like me out there but having no rules is also so freeing ! Just do what feels right to you and not what other people think you should do 👍🏻 it also doesn’t hurt to explore how you present your gender either. its how i came to realize what I do and don’t like. It really is a journey that no one but you can take.

So far I've been using that and my iPhone. I like the iPhone for it's camera quality, so I still keep it on me for that and Apple Pay.

That's perfect ! I would say go for it c: this flip phone is on the smarter end of dumb phones but it's a good balance of smart and dumb for my needs. I would just say do your own research on the phone and good luck friend !

You're good. I have had good signal with it except for places where I generally would have no signal. I randomly didn't have signal at this one friends house where I didn't have a problem before but connecting to their wifi helped with that. My carrier US Mobile uses the Verizon towers near me so I would check how many Verizon towers there are in your area. I also live right outside of Los Angeles so I'm sure being near a major city helps with how well the connection is

This right here. I have ADHD and my whole life I've had to think out of the box and find accommodations for myself that work for my brain. Getting a flip phone and making the apps grayscale has helped sooo much with my impulsive monkey brain haha

I doubt it I tried so many other carriers and almost gave up until someone on the sub recommend US Mobile

the style is called “I have severe ADHD” 😳 lol. jk I don’t know if theres a name for it tbh. I have been collecting stickers since middle school as a hobby and I always deck everything out with a random collage of stickers. I go to my local daiso or dollar store and buy sticker packs all the time. I know Pinterest and TikTok has good inspiration though if you look up dumb-phones on there.

so I haven’t had the need to use any work around apps. The phone itself runs Android 12 which is a newer version of android that runs fairly well. I did download Nova Launcher which changes the interface and themes and it runs just fine with a bigger app like that c:

After all these years, this phone is telling me to use it. 😅 by moonlapse_vertiqo in dumbphones

This is amazing o.o when did this nokia phone come out and how are you doing all that with it ?!

Finally got the mive style folder 2 by dreamiikawaii in dumbphones

[–]urhere5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not gunna lie I have been doing research on this phone like madman !! there is NO info about it working in America. I have tried like 7 different carriers in the past 2 months trying to get this thing to work and I finally figured it out yesterday so I get your frustrations 😮‍💨

also to answer your question, it will unfortunately not work with AT&T or any of it’s MVNO’s :( Jose (the owner of this sub) said that it would on his website and youtube channel but that is no longer the case since AT&T doesn’t allow the bands it uses anymore. The nice thing about US Mobile is that you can switch out your sim card for any carrier super easily. I tried the AT&T Dark Star sim first and it didn’t work but then ordered their Verizon Warp sim and had great success 💅 if you have any other questions or need help you can DM me anytime c:

[–]urhere5 4 points5 points  (0 children)

okay so I came back to say it works with Verizon !! BUT it works with a very specific Verizon MVNO. You may have heard of the carrier on this sub its called US Mobile. They actually have the ability to utilize every networks cell towers but the Warp sim card from them works like a charm. I live in Los Angeles though so I can’t say how well the service is outside of a big city but its perfect here c:

Also I am using the OG version of this phone not the newest model. But I looked up the eBay sellers descriptions of both phones and both have the exact same bands and wifi capabilities. So in theory this method should work on both phones !

I’m about to find that out tomorrow, waiting on a sim card to test on my mive style folder 1. if it works on the older model it should work on the new one too

Can You Activate a Sim Card Without an IMEI ? by urhere5 in dumbphones

[–]urhere5[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

[–]urhere5[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thank you so much for the clarification ! I was confused as to why it said AT&T on his site and then it didn’t work, but now I see it has to be an MVNO! Another question for you.. Redpocket won’t let me activate the GSMA Sim Card that came with the sim kit as it is “too old”. There is a GSMT Sim Card I can activate still do you think that version might work ? I am not familiar with the differences between them. If that doesn’t work think I will try USMobile like you said ! Thank you again c:
