2024 Fall Semester Challenge

We encourage everyone to take a break from their smart phones, especially our youth.

Gold Challenge Costs

You can keep your current cell plan, and Bring Your Own Carrier through the sim card.
  • Do you already have a dumb phone? Great! Bring it to the kickoff event night and celebrate! Your ahead of the curve

  • For $100 you can rent a dumb phone for 4 months, the duration of the challenge.

    At the end of the challenge, you have the option to purchase the phone.

    You are also invited to "Bring Your Own Carrier" which means, you take the sim card out of your normal phone, drop it into the dumb phone and continue with your cell + data plan, and you keep your number

  • You can rent a dumb phone for $100 and add a cell + data plan package for $25 or $45, depending on which options are right for you

  • Yes you can import your contacts

  • If you want to continue using the phone, you will receive a special link to purchase the phone and start a cell + data plan.

    If not, please return your phones to the school office. These are on loan and will be refurbished and used in future challenges. Please take care of the phones!

  • The challenge is a gift from Techless to offer the phones below cost - yes Techless is losing money on this project, but considers it an investment in the community. Please do not break the phones!

    If you break a phone, please contact our team on the contact form below.

  • Let the Techless booth know that you want to buy a phone and not rent it. They will apply a discount code at the Kickoff Event
