Advantages of Using a Push-Button Phone
I tried this lifestyle change after COVID, from April 2021 to October 2021, by switching my number to a simple push-button phone. Looking back, I feel it was one of the best decisions I made.
- You carry cash while traveling, so you’re always aware of your expenses. Instead of scanning and overspending, I saved nearly ₹12,000 per month.
- Without reels and endless scrolling, you gain extra time to read books, focus on your career, enjoy hobbies, or explore nature.
- Calls become more peaceful. You stay connected with close friends without being easily available to everyone, which makes people respect your time more.
- Limited availability increases your value. The more accessible you are, the more people tend to take you for granted.
Disadvantage
Due to societal pressure, people might assume you’re poor or can’t afford a smartphone. But in reality, smartphone users often seem more stressed and anxious compared to push-button phone users.
This is just my personal experience, not advice or an argument. I believe technology should make life easier, not push us into unnecessary spending and stress.
