What to do with an LG LN-272 since 3G is dead

[Phas3L0ck]

Have an old phone that's served me well for many years, and earlier this year 3G got cut for good. What can I sensibly do with this to prevent it from being e-waste?

It doesn't use a SIM card since the ID is built in (proprietary device for Sprint CDMA only) and it pre-dates the adoption of WiFi in phones, so the only useful signal it works with is Bluetooth (I'm not even sure which version)

Storage space is limited but it does have a MicroSD slot for expansion... and the software is extremely basic, something called "BrewMP" (NO, it's NOT android)

I can't even figure out if it has an admin mode to flash custom firmware or not.

 

But DO NOT say things like "use it for the camera" or "voice recorder" or anything to do with the internet. The video quality is horrible, it doesn't have the software to make a decent audio recorder, and the built-in web browser (surprisingly it does have one) won't work with ANY modern websites.

Recycling Center.  As you list it, it doesn't have any connectivity aside from Bluetooth, and not good for a camera.. so aside from taking it apart to learn about stuff...  

 

It's useless.  Recycle it.

Its basically a dumb phone that can no longer phone. So prettt much put it up as decoration or recycle it

Audiobook player. But it's likely that the SD card can only go up to 32GB.

 

Otherwise, yes, recycling center
