About the Challenge
The Flip for 30 Challenge is an initiative designed to encourage us to reconnect with the world around us by shifting from our smartphones to basic phones for 30 days. This effort not only promotes personal well-being but also supports the crucial work of Bridges for Families, an organization dedicated to keeping children safe and families strong.
Why 30 Days?
​A 30-day period allows participants enough time to truly experience and reflect on the impact of reduced digital connectivity. It’s the perfect length to recalibrate our relationship with technology, promoting a healthier, more intentional use of it.
Choose Your Challenge Level
The Flip for 30 Challenge offers four levels of participation to accommodate different needs and lifestyles. Each level is designed to provide a meaningful way to reduce digital dependency while supporting the important work of Bridges for Families. Whether you're ready to fully disconnect or need a more gradual approach, there's a challenge level for everyone. Explore the options below to find the level that best suits your personal and professional commitments.
Complete Flip Fully embrace the challenge by switching to a basic phone for 30 days. Use a new number, port your old number, or forward calls to stay connected while experiencing true digital detox. ​
Hybrid Flip Use a basic phone as your main device and keep your smartphone in the car for essential use. Forward calls, swap SIM cards, or use a new number to balance connectivity and simplicity.
Half Flip Transition to a basic phone with limited app capabilities, such as WhatsApp, to accommodate those who can't commit to the Complete Flip due to essential business or personal needs. This option provides the necessary functionality while still promoting a significant reduction in smartphone dependency.
​​
Lite Mode Simplify your smartphone experience with an app that can limit its capabilities to just talk and text, or as needed. This approach helps reduce distractions and promotes mindful usage while retaining some smartphone functionality.
