Greetings, I need MFA and a few other things for work. I’d like to swap to a dumb phone on my off times. I don’t want to constantly swap out a SIM as it eventually damages the card itself.

What are my options? And is there a dumb phone you recommended?

    My goal is minimalism. I’m not sure if I will stick to it. But I want a distraction free life. No ads. No TV. No time durdling on my cell phone. No corporate overlords.

    My wife and I realized how distracting a phone can be and I just want some good quality time away from it. But I work in tech in tech need authenticatorsamd on-call functionality. I want to separate my work and personal life as much as I can.

      Get a Pixel, put Grapheme OS on it. Set up a work profile. The work profile can be turned off manually or on a schedule, blocking any app within it including Google and any other stuff.

      On your personal profile, use only Fdroid & Accrescent for your basic needs.

      That’s it.

        The problem I have is pixels are really expensive. I just use base model phones. I know the used market is a thing. But really I just don’t want as many distractions at times.
