Can you survive without a cell phone??

[CaptWalker]

As far as phone booths go you would probably have to be at least 40 years old to even remember them being around, not that they were ever something you would actually need in an emergency, but i did thought it was pretty cool how movies such as "Wargames" used it, but that was 1983.

I still have a Motorola StarTac…the best cell ever.

Don't know about the USA, but the banks here in Canada and businesses are making it difficult for one to do any kind of business, even personal business if you don't have a SMART phone, not a cell phone as there is a difference.

For example, the government postal service here is possibly going to strike soon and the bank has sent notice to that effect and to set the mail that is normally received by mail to online received.  When you have done this and you get accustomed to the process, then you are never going back to paper.  I agree to paperless in some transaction, but others I prefer to have a paper record.  

Last year the above situation with the postal service occured and I forgot about the strike and they charged me for my credit card late payment.  I had it fixed, but the hassle was stupid.  

Just like everything, agenda 3.0 is on course and the systems are priming the population to be full participants to their prodding.  Covid kicked it off, IMO, and so Ai and the rest to follow.  All resistance would be cut and you would be forced to comply or be left behind or live like a hermit.  

Edit:  I know that the world does not remain stagnant and technology has brought many enhancements, plus convenience that makes our lives easier to navigate.  We can't have our cake and eat it too.  At the same time, even with all the technology, uncertainty and upheavals are with us in a world of plenty.   Everyone has to make their bed as they have to lie in it.

MANNN i still have my landline phone LOL! to the wall honey I not dead YET LOL!

I used to have a landline only until 15 months ago.    AT&T sent a letter they were trying to discontinue landline service in California.   So I cancelled AT&T and bought a cellphone from Consumer Cellular.

It's a lot cheaper than AT&T.   I only pay about $22.70 a month with Consumer Cellular.

Whereas AT&T charged me about $49 a month for landline...and every three months they started to increase the price a couple of dollars.

No price increase from Consumer Cellular in 15 months.

I got a Motorola Moto G Play from Consumer Cellular.   It was only $99.

I only use it for phone calls.   So far the storage is up to 55%.    

Since I use it only for phone calls, do I need to buy another cell phone when the storage gets almost used up?

You can get around without a smartphone still, but it's hard unless you have internet access some other way. I would say you probably want to have a cell phone, even it's not a smartphone, just because you will wind up feeling helpless in circumstances you could simply avoid by making a call or sending a text. 

You can very much be good to GOD without a cell phone, probably better without the distraction, but the times we're living in...other people, and even yourself, will be frustrated by not having one, though. 

 A phone without Internet is a way to still take care of business without distractions.

Is any cell phone with Internet access a smartphone?

I just use mine for phone calls.   When the storage gets full, must I buy a new cell phone...since I only use it for calls?
