I have dealt with this off and on for years. My relationship with my smartphone has always been love/hate. I actually even did go to a dumphone for several months and enjoyed the disconnect, but the lack of maps and a camera ultimately sent me back to the smartphone. Now I try to swap SIMs over to a dumbphone for vacation every summer and go to remote places for other trips where there just isn't any cellular service. Nothing like being so disconnected you have to walk 15 minutes to the nearest landline phone. Edit: I am curious, as an engineer, what others are doing from an on-call perspective when it comes to no smartphone. PagerDuty handles SMS alerts nicely and I'm starting to explore Slack/IFTTT. Hangouts is a big missing piece. There are just a few things like that where I'm concerned about being too disconnected.
