One of the best things I ever did was ditch my smart phone. If these people wanna track me, I’m gonna make them work for it. Also, my life has gotten significantly calmer after getting rid of that stupid smart phone. I can’t recommend ditching them highly enough.

I never had a smartphone. Just a flip phone for emergencies when I am out. It's always off.

Smartphone will end up being the boot on people's neck.

Just look at communist China.

Me, too. I never had a smartphone and never will. Now I'm considering getting a satellite phone, since who knows when the grid will go out?

Satellite phone is an excellent idea. But, you better hurry. I don't think there are a lot available.

And you think the satellites will still be in orbit and functional? 🤣 Need to watch Sandra Bullock in Gravity.

Amen, Amen I say unto you. Ditch your smartphone. Kill it with a hammer and toss it in the garbage. Let the Intel community go digging for you there.

I did the same thing - switched to a non-internet cellphone that I often lose for hours or days at a time.

I'm unplugging from the matrix. Ditched FascistBook in 2015. Ditched my cable subscription in 2016. Ditched my television in 2020. iPhone gone in 2021.

F you, NSAFBICIA!

I need a smart phone to read C&C in the mornings. Addicted to both content and comments.

I get it, I am addicted to C&C and comments too! I use my PC to read.

What are you using for a phone now?

I have the equivalent of an old style flip phone, although it is flat - an unlocked Nokia 225. All it does is talk and text. No internet capabilities. No wifi. Bluetooth is supposed to work but I've never tried. It's only 4G, which is fine by me. It does have an actual FM radio built in, which was great during football season, and has a few other goodies like an alarm clock. It does almost nothing but that's what I wanted. Being unlocked, I was able to go to a Tello plan for nine bucks a month. Cheap and effective and NO apps.

I still have a landline...and a flip phone for emergencies when I am out.
