Why do you need fast internet access on this thing though?

>>62445350
He doesn't. You missed the part where 3G coverage in the US is complete ass. (probably because it's an outdated technology)

>>62445391
But 3G is for data? Why does he need 3G if he doesn't need data?

>>62445081
>not open source
into le trash

>>62445415
If you have a 3G only phone, you will find yourself without service a lot of the time because many cell towers are 4G only

>needs LTE
>feature phone

You're trying too hard. Just get a smart phone, or a pick up some <$50 call/text phone

>>62445081
1G 2G 3G are obsolete protocols and you should stop using them, if you do then don't cry when the CIA hacks your connection and steals all lolis from you

>>62445613
1G is very much still in use for industrial applications. Fucking /g/

>>62445081
did you actually pay $300 for that

>>62445081
>Is there a phone I can buy in the US that is essentially a feature phone for AT&T that supports LTE?
literally any windows phone

>>62445081
Look into Kyocera, they have some really good basic phones.

I use my 2G/3G feature phone for voice calls and (rarely) sms, never data.

I use 3G indoors, has superior reception in buildings, and switch to 2G for outside calls.

Here is my 2010 Nokia C2-01 which I got for $30 from craigslist a few months ago.

>>62445946
so does 3G still have the coverage that mirrors LTE?

>>62445841
good idea. I'll look into that.

just get this

I thought Nokia made those only to be released in India

>>62446897
I think you can import them into the US but then again, I think OP will face the same issue as the Punkt one. It runs on 2G even tho it has a fuckin web browser. Runs Opera lol

>>62446933
>It runs on 2G even tho it has a fuckin web browser
I perfectly browsed internet in 2G times.

>>62446977
>>62446933
Original iPhone ran on 2G

>>62446933
>>62446977
does Nokia even make a dumb/featurephone that works in the US?

>>62446977
literally how does no one understand this. 2G, 3G, 4G LTE... these are frequency bands, just like radio. If you have 30 million people on LTE, the bandwidth is going to throttle, just like it did with 2G. Cell companies do this, and they intentionally remove 'outdated' bands so they can keep charging stupid prices for what feels like the same speed.

from a real fast google search the qualcomm 205 chipset for dumbphones has 4g
India's JioPhone being a popular qualcomm 205 dumb phone

>>62446809
Yes, buy a phone that you can't fucking use to make calls because 2G is either dead or dying everywhere in the first world.

That thing is 2G only. No 3G, no 4G.
What this means is that without 2G coverage, you won't be able to so much as make an emergency call when your mother gets a heart attack. It'll be about as useful as a paperweight.

Why the hell would you want a dumbphone that is incredibly painful to use when you can get a used iPhone 3gs/4 or a decent budget android tor like $40? You can find old androids and add extended batteries in them so they'll last days with light usage, and flash a custom rom that'll make it run reasonably smooth

I guess using dumbphones now is like the new edgy contrarian/ counter culture trend for mobile technology

Because I'm not a cuck who's fine with wearing a tracking collar.

>>62447650
>Because I'm a schizophrenic cuck who's fine with lugging around an antiqued, useless piece of technology as long as the reptilian jews can't track my hentai browsing on it

Fixed that for you

>>62447650
GSM is full of backdoors. Any phone is a tracking/spying device.

>pay more for less
This meme needs to die.

>>62447685
>*Any* phone is a tracking/spying device

[citation needed]

The US goverment doesn't even bother with using these supposed backdoors to track terrorists, do you honestly think they would care enough about a smelly neet in his basement to actually spy on you?

>>62447750
>dumb phone that actually does all you need

Besides actually connect to modern wireless networks, which was the entire point of OP's post

>>62447650
Then don't get a mobile phone at all, imbecile. Read up on silent SMS and cell tracking.

mass surveillance

just look at what snowden has leaked for us
yes my info isn't valuable but it is being saved, archived and definitely analyzed by their computers. and that would include my masturbation habits.

>>62448571
>my info isn't valuable but it is being saved

If it isn't valuable, why would someone save it? Do you honestly think the US goverment is spending money to track your masturbation habits?

The NSA is saving a lot of TLS traffic so they can crack it in the future when flaws in the ciphers used now are found.
