Questions before switching?
Everything you need to know before choosing a calmer phone.
Before applying
What apps can I keep?
Intent Phone is designed to keep modern essentials: WhatsApp, calls, messages, maps, banking, wallet, music, email, camera, photos, calendar, notes, reminders and clock. The goal is not to make the phone useless. The goal is to remove the parts that pull you back in.
Can I request another essential app?
Yes. During setup, you can tell us which apps are genuinely essential for your daily life. If an app is needed for work, school, banking, navigation, communication or basic life admin, we can review it and add it when appropriate.
Can I use banking and payments?
Yes. Banking and wallet apps are part of the Intent Phone concept because they are essential in modern life. You simply tell us which banking or payment apps you need before configuration.
Restrictions
Is this just a dumbphone?
No. Dumbphones are often too limited for real life. Intent Phone is different: it keeps useful smartphone functionality while removing distracting access like social media, browsers and infinite-scroll apps.
Can I install social media later?
Not normally. The restriction is intentional. Intent Phone is built for people who want the environment to help them, instead of relying on willpower every day.
Is there a browser?
No browser by default. Browser access is one of the main gateways back into distraction, so Intent Phone is designed without it unless there is a very specific essential use case.
Setup
What phone is Intent Phone based on?
Intent Phone is prepared on established Android hardware and then manually configured to create the Intent experience. You get modern phone reliability with a much calmer digital environment.
How does setup work?
You tell us your essential apps and requirements. We configure the phone manually before shipping it to you. That means your Intent Phone arrives ready for daily use, without the distractions you are trying to avoid.
Parents & first phones
Is this suitable for children?
Yes. Many families are interested in Intent Phone as a first smartphone because it keeps communication, maps, school apps and essentials while avoiding unrestricted access to addictive platforms.
Is it too restrictive?
It is restrictive on purpose, but it is not meant to feel broken. Intent Phone keeps daily-life essentials and removes the parts of a normal smartphone that are designed to be checked constantly.
Trial & support
Can I return it?
Intent Phone offers a 30-day free trial so you can test whether this kind of phone fits your life. If it is not right for you, we will guide you through the next step.
What if something doesn’t work?
You can contact us after delivery. Intent Phone is configured manually, and support is part of making sure the phone works for your real daily needs.
Still unsure?
