For a long time now I've received many many more robocalls than real calls. It makes me want to turn off the phone features of my phone.

- mgbmtl 9y agoI did! You can do that with most providers. If they don't explicitly offer it, just tell them you want to switch to an tablet/iPad plan. I pay $15/month for a 3 GB data-only plan and $1/month for a VoIP number that routes SMS to email/app (voip.ms), for those 2 people I know who still use SMS.
- khedoros1 9y ago> for those 2 people I know who still use SMS. Interesting. I think I use SMS for more people than every other phone-based method of contact put together.
- Gaelan 9y agoUS high schooler here. I use SMS pretty frequently if you count iMessage, maybe real SMS with 2 or 3 people.
- mgbmtl 9y agoI use a lot of messaging apps, just not SMS. Partly for privacy reasons, partly for convenience.
- khedoros1 9y agoHmm. Convenience is the exact reason I'd give for staying away from "a lot of messaging apps" and using primarily SMS. I've got a couple friends that really like Signal, so that's the only other messaging app I ever install.
