Can you surivive without using a phone in todays world?
My phone recently broke, but im just too poor to afford a new phone.

Used potato phones are basically free

>>507695707 (OP)
I did it for years recently. Impossible to do business/bank without now because two device authentication and all the newer security.

>>507695985
This. My workplace requires that I use multifactor authentication periodically throughout the work day to confirm it is me using the work device. You can only use the prescribed Microsoft authenticator app (as opposed to just getting a text message with a code) so I have no choice but to use a smart phone. As you say, many banks and other corporations require customers to use some kind of authenticator app. We're all getting squeezed.

>>507695707 (OP)
Yessir, tough to get some things done.
>>507695792
>basically free
Is not nearly the same as free when you don't have any money, dipshit.

>>507695707 (OP)
good phones are like 2-300 bucks these days,are u homeless or do you want to buy the latest iphone like a fag?

Don't worry go..guy. Soon we will implement a chip that will help you access your bank, email etc without a phone. It will be inside you so you won't need to worry about losing or breaking it

>My workplace requires
If the op had a job, you fucking dipshit, he would have money for a phone. He's not asking how you get through life as a low IQ office drone.

i dont want to spend that much on a phone, i just can't be bothered

You're free. You can begin to heal now.

time to get a job,newzealand is easy mode

>>507695707 (OP)
sure plenty of poor people dont have phones, you'll be fine
when you're no longer poor you'll probably need one tho

>>507696435
Wow. This sounds amazing!

>>507696274
a person would almost have to step back to 1994 or so. Brick and mortar, no e-commerce or online banking, social media...

wagecucks will never reject not pinging their location to mr shekelstein so he can call shekelburgs roaming gas van to eliminate excess slaves
sad

I bought a <$100 phone when my one broke. It does enough to get you through but would get laggy when doing shit like youtube and even sending selfies in messaging apps.

You will be ok as long as you dont use your phone for your typical laptop activities

>>507695707 (OP)
My phone is essentially a glorified music player, I don't use it for anything else. So yeah, you can.

>>507697155
do you bank online?

>>507697210
No, I don't use good goy points. Cash only.

Yes, imagine not getting a call from work while you're fishing.

>>507696629
>low IQ to have a job
>big brain to be an unemployed peasant who can't even afford a couple of hundred dollars for a phone
Lmao

>>507696871
Broke is broke, man. $200 can be a lot of money even when you have a job.
>>507696973
Niggers get free phones.
>>507697026
This guy gets it. It can be done but (((they))) make it difficult.

>>507695707 (OP)
get a dumbphone.
apart from occasional need to jump through a hoop, your life will get significantly better.

>>507695707 (OP)
I didn't have a phone for 3 years until recently and it was great - just make sure your friends have your email address and you're not so autistic that you can't ask for directions

>>507695707 (OP)
If you can make a smartphone emulator on the computer and use that for all the things that require a mobile number. I know this doesn't work for the free voip services

>>507696274
I invest and shit I'm trading out Robinhood now but they kicked me off the application because I have an iPhone 6. You can't navigate in the world anymore without updated tech. And if you didn't invest. The internet wouldn't work. I have a black berry that can only connect to older websites because it's not updated to Handel them for whatever reason.

I use a spare phone just to shitpost using my home network while laying down. I also have a tablet but it's too heavy for long term posting.

>>507697241
ah. so you don't have to use a card to pay bills, rent, mortgage, auto stuff, buy things online...
you sound absolutely destitute, not free from the machine

>>507697255
I didn't say any of these things.
I said you have a low IQ because you are clearly unable to understand the OP, not because you have a job. I, too, have a job, yet I am not an idiot (like you).
Take care, dipshit.

>>507697500
>bills, rent
I live with my parents
>mortgage
LMAO
>buy things online
I pay with cash you nigger

>>507697500
It used to be the norm to use cash for those all those things.

Say hi in the chat. Let them know how you feel about them spreading their woke perverted politics to little Korean kids.

(Expect to be IP banned quickly, the mod thinks they're Inspector Gadget.)

If your phone is the only way to access the internet, you're a broke ass bitch, literal thirdie-tier

>>507697680
>I pay with cash you nigger
some people want more than sausage, clothes made from flour sacks, tire shoes

it can be done if you are a neet that noone needs to get a hold of for business and such. if you are slightly more tech savvy you could run a virtual machine running android to do some almost all the important stuff. the only thing major you really miss not having a phone is google maps.

the real problem is the social effects of not having a phone. if you start telling people you dont have a phone they will either think you are unprofessional and wont want to work with you at most. or at minimum think youre a asocial schizo weirdo

>>507697697
I know. I'm 50. It's pretty hard to do cash only. Lots of cashiers checks and pre loaded cards that cost every time you use them, if they are even accepted. I finally had to get an account with a credit union.

>>507697881
Can you not pay the delivery guy with cash for stuff you buy online?

>>507697500
I will guarantee you would have more money in the bank if you did business like man, face to face, cash in hand.
This Polock will outlive you, and outfuck you, you sorry motherfucker. I have a $100 bill in my pocket that says you can't even change a tire.

>>507698188
COD? lol, not since the 1980s
you still have cod?

>>507698266
Yes? I bought equipment for home gym on the internet and paid for it with cash upon delivery for example.

>>507698209
I have 3K sitting on my fridge that say's your down to you last hundred. And a fuckton more in the bank, so I can purchase anything from anywhere.

>>507698411
I didn't know that. Cary on then. America is basically a cashless society.

>>507698114
Couldn't you just get a store credit card and pay the monthly bill with cash for it at it's location? I remember I wanted to get an Amazon Credit Card and got rejected so I had to use gift cards a long time ago.

>>507698092

There's no question but that the Normie Hive Mind of Passive Aggressive Personality Disorder is absolutely nihilistically vicious when a Free Thinker dares to violate the strictures of the Hive Mind.

Who knew the Normies had it in themselves to be so brutally vicious?

PRO-TIP: Be the Chad who secretly teaches Stacy how to break all the rules of the Hive Mind.

When she realizes that she's in the presence of a true Rules-Breaking Free-Thinker, Stacy's nether regions will run wet with moisture. She'll be terrified, at the specter of Free Thought, but the insatiability of her arousal will compel her to engorge Chad's thundercock in her birth canal.

>>507698595
I don't know how a person can pay on store cards. never had one.

>>507695707 (OP)
Smartphones/Internet have become a requirement to live.
Government requires you pay most bills online.
Many private companies and most large corporations require you use the internet to find and apply for a job.
The worst companies now even require a smart phone for work or an app to spy on you and clock in with. That app records everywhere you are even on days off.

Society has basicly mandated you use the internet to exist.
If you want to see how bad it can get look at China. You basicly need a smart phone and to be in frequently hacked databases to spend money, open your apartment gate, be tracked at all times etc and having your identity stolen is just a normal part of the game you are required by law to play.
A wireless pocket computer the government and employers mandate is basicly an authoritarian leash.
And wearing your leash is not optional.

>>507695707 (OP)
Yeah just give me tablet with lte

>>507695707 (OP)
I grabbed this at Walmart like 4 years ago for $10. It works great and hold a charge for a week.

>>507698804
The store's customer service.
My parents go to Target to pay their credit card bill there. They refuse to get a debit card and pay cash when they can.

>>507698882
lol. I had a tracphone like that as long as I could. Loved telling people I couldn't text because too hard.

>>507699026
wish I knew that a year ago. have to have bank now though. have too much to hide now

>>507698425
It's only my last hundred if you can change a tire, slick.

>>507699289
I can't, because herniated disks, from a lifetime of changing tires, and other much harder things. Can you mount and balance a tire? How many per day? ever work on truck tires?

>>507695707 (OP)
Since I was a kid I hated when i visited my rural family because I would be so fucking bored unless I was hanging with them, with isn't 24/7. I always needed one of laptop, computer, DS, phone, TV at least. I probably got ADHD or some shit but I would hate it. I need some bullshit to click on my lonely

>>507699046
>couldn't text because too hard
My elderly harpy mother can only text to my wife's smartphone for that very reason.

>>507699221
Though it is possible to not get approved and receive a shit card that can only be used in store. Perhaps the Credit Union was the best choice.

>>507695707 (OP)
No. I don't know where anything is.

>>507700014
I sold my dead parent's house. Can't put that kind of cash under the bed.

>>507699827
bahahaha

>>507695985
Sure you can survive without a phone, its hard to get notified stuff but you can always ask someone who take notifications for you (bank and town hall stuff only shouldnt be too much of a burden, I rarely get calls from them). For social stuff you can always use whatsapp/telegram on your computer.

>>507696274
If a phone is absolutely mandatory for work then your workplace should be issuing you a corporation phone for work.

>>507700634
I don't take carry it except out of town(handy to tether to laptop for internet), don't do social or run apps. Just there when I need it, and that's rare
