Company Offers $1,000 To Switch Back To Flip Phones For 1 Week
MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- Before the halcyon days of smart phones, there was the epoch of flip phones.
Now, one company is trying to get people to switch back to those sleek, switchblade-emulating cellular devices, and they're putting their money where their mouth is.
Business internet and phone provider, Frontier Bundles, is offering people $1,000 to switch from smartphone to flip phone for a week.
They'll also give people a "survival kit" to ease boredom -- including a physical map, notepad and pen, pocket phone book and a few CDs.
The company wants to study the influence smartphones has on users.
