The Nokia 3310 is considered the world's best-selling phone, with 12.6 million units sold so far.
Seventeen-year-old Robin West is considered unique in his group of friends because he does not have a smartphone.
Instead of spending all day on apps like Tik Tak and Instagram, she uses a so-called 'dumb phone'.
These are basic handsets, or feature phones, whose use or functionality is very limited compared to the iPhone or other smartphones. You can usually only send and receive text calls and SMS text messages on these phones. And, if you're lucky, listen to the radio and take some very basic pictures, but they definitely don't have internet or apps.
These phones are similar to the earlier handsets that people used to buy in the late 1990's.
Two phones used in 2005. That was two years before the app's iPhone and 11 years before TickTalk came along.
Robin West abruptly decided to give up his smartphone two years ago. Looking for an alternative handset in a second hand shop, he noticed the low price of the 'Brick Phone' (a brick-like phone).
Their current handset is Mobyfire from a French firm which costs only پا 8. And since it doesn't work like a smartphone, they don't have to worry about expensive monthly data.
"It wasn't until I bought a Burke phone that I realized how much a smartphone is taking over my life," she says. I put a lot of social media apps on it, and I couldn't do that much because I was always on my phone. '
