dumb.co is a DC-based startup that grew out of Month Offline. The MO team is working with dumb to make it as easy as possible to participate in the challenge. If u want to try out a
refurbished dumbphone, the
device and phone plan are free thanks to dumb.co's generous offer -- u only pay for shipping.
Ur plan will be canceled if u choose to return the phone at the end of the challenge.
The dumbphone 2 from dumb.co is $20 for the device plus the cost of a 4-month minimum phone plan (see dumb's faq for all pricing details).
