I wish I could go back to my Nokia, but no carrier I can find will connect it.

Same here. That little candy bar form was great. I think they’re all 2G, though.

I finally switched from a flip phone to a smart phone when my carrier dropped 3G.

The flipper was light and easy to carry. It’s a love/hate thing with the smart phone.

If my carrier supported it, I too would go back to my Nokia.

Nokia has a 4G 6300 phone, like the old style candy bar phones.

You can’t. With cellphone carriers turning off 2G and 3G networks, old phones are useless. In fact, even old iPhones older than the iPhone 5 are useless now.

I still have our Motorola Star-Tacs.
I once accidentally backed over mine with a Toyota 4Runner and it was just fine.

My phone service was cut off by AT&T because that model was not sold originally AT&T branded. So, I got along without for a few weeks.

This actually works. I reverted to “old time” navigation methods, which is a little tougher now that gas stations don’t have maps.

Embrace the adapt. Most of my life I was inaccessible unless in the house, in earshot of the phone - or in the house, at the PC. Even those modern conveniences are not necessities.

I had the Motorola RAZR flip TRON looking thing when it came out ~2004.

Loved it until my wife washed it.
