Personal finance bloggers often explain that one of the easiest way to save money is to minimize the cost of cellphone plan and device. Now there’s a trend for digitally weary users to switch back to simple phone. Daniel Thomas writes on Financial Times: “In January, British actor Eddie Redmayne made headlines around the world as he became the latest in a growing band of smartphone refuseniks. ‘It was a reaction against being glued permanently to my iPhone during waking hours,’ he explained, turning instead to an old-fashioned dumb phone handset that could only make and take calls. He is not alone. There is a small but busy market for phones that are simple and cheap at a time when smartphones are becoming ever more complex and expensive.” (ft.com)
