I want to give up my smart phone but I use Uber and Lyft often. Is there such thing as a kosher flip phone that has that option?
I’m talking about the Uber app not tremp

Why do you specially need the Uber app and not uber tremp?
Uber tremp works perfectly well and provides the exact same drivers

I just use tremp and I see no reason to need the app.

I ride a lot at night and I want to see ride progress as we’re driving or sending my daughter etc.

I guess I would just need Waze, Uber… could I have WhatsApp on a flip phone?

Uber tremp is a service where you order an uber by text. You text the word "Ride" and it sends you an uber

I know the Quin has Uber but it’s not a flip phone.
There is also an option to include email.
(Has weather, smartlist and Waze)

Does anyone have this phone or have another one to suggest?
I had heard of this phone and it appealed to me because someone said it has an on screen keyboard which would be helpful for me since adjusting to t9 would be really hard

My husband just got Koshercell this week (super proud of him!) it's a Samsung s20 so has a good camera and onscreen keyboard. It's fully kosher and it's built so no browsers are accessible even in apps. They have certain kosher apps that they allow. Don't know about Uber but he has Google maps, email, Whatsapp, 24/6... So far he hasn't found a workaround which is huge. He's tried most other filters...

Yes but it's different than other ones. It's built into the hardware and not just a filter placed on top of the original phone

My sons BIL sells phones with very limited apps. He programs them to what you need, but has limits on what he will agree o put on it. He sort of fell into this business after he programmed a phone to his needs without the additional apps and browsers from the usual phones. People heard about it and asked him to do the same for them. And now he supports his family doing it.
