Just when some people are getting interested in reviving old dumbphones
The dumbphones being released now should all work on modern networks. The connection being 4G / 5G doesn't mean the phone must have an internet browser and an app store.
If I can't use my Nokia N-Gage, what's the point?
Yes, but they're new phones, not old phones revival
I have a dumb phone that works on 4G and uses voiceover LTE for its calling, so you can still use a dumb phone.
Just because the underlying network is 4G or 5G doesn't mean you have to have a web browser and all the smartphone stuff.
Of course you can, but buying new isn't the same as reviving the old ones
Yeah, fair enough
