Forced to use my phone during a windows update which breaks my computer. My phone is shitty and slow. Google is full of unhelpful results. Youtube is showing nothing but political ads about ms-13 killing white people.

Truly 2024 is great.

I may have to dig around if it really is possible in my area to get a cheaper not-smart phone. If I can keep my current number, even better.

I had to order mine separately from my carrier, but I verified with them that they could activate it and all that - I think you'd use the same SIM card and therefore wouldn't have to change your number but I don't really know how that works. When I've had to change phones I just tell the people at the carrier store that I have certain red lines I absolutely will not cross (budgetary and otherwise) and whatever their misgivings or confusion they've worked with me on that. They still try to upsell me whenever I have a technical support question, of course.

I'm in a fairly remote area, but I may take a little trip and see what I can do.

Good luck!
