Luddite here.
I pay 25 bucks a month for 750 minutes of cell service (never used it all) for a phone that cost me 25 bucks a few years back. I answer it when it rings and ignore the rest of the BS. Life somehow goes on.
20 odd years ago I had one of those big clunky things.....I was in biddness for myself. I got rid of it at the first opportunity.
