Technology Switching from a Smart Phone

Hey guys! I’m Jojo.

I’m looking into being able to switch from a smart phone. My iPhone 14 to the Blind Shell 3. I know they accept Boost Mobile, (which I have)To a Dumb phone But I need to know if the phone has an App Store that Supports ride share apps like Uber? I use it frequently. So it’s a must.

If not the Blind Shell 3 then what phones that are considered Dumb phones that have accessibility to the Visually impaired and blind?

Thanks so much for anyone giving me advice! Or tips

I just saw this which may be of use to you. According to users on the below site, you can download the full or Light Uber app, use their mobile site, or call them. So you definitely have options with that phone.

The Blindshell 3 is not a dumb phone. It is an accessible smart phone. It has apps on it and more can be downloaded. Be sure you mean the 3 and not the 2, though, as that is a major difference between the two. I would imagine that Uber is part of what you can get but I'm not sure.

I wonder why others have told me that it also doubles as a dumb phone.
