Do you ever reminisce about an old phone you had in the past? (sh.itjust.works)

That's actually really cool. I'd love to see a write-up on how you setup the whole thing

    there's discord-wap which is a self hosted discord bride that translates discord into wml 1.1 which is readable by wap browsers

    i vibecoded a signal-cli bridge but it's embarassing to say the least and it's a security nightmare (at least it works)

    depending on what kind of phone you use there's either a csd or gprs connection.

    both need a working gateway

    a user named bs0dd made a comprehensive guide on how to set up a gateway and even setting up your own dial-up connection for older csd phones.

    csd is hard to setup though, in my country (germany) it only works with vodafone sim cards or (as i currently do it) you can connect to a foreign dial-up connection, some of these still exist lol

    i would suggest looking into the reddit community /r/vintagemobilephones and especially their discord. the community is very active and currently still working on projects
