I had a client who would have his secretary print out all of his nonspam e-mails. He would hand-write his response on the print out, and then have his secretary fax it to us.
Eventually they decided to get more modern, and his secretary would scan in the response and send it as an e-mail attachment.

- ghaff 9y agoNot quite "no phone" but I know someone who was and is in senior technical roles at various well-known Silicon Valley companies. He only reluctantly got a (feature) phone--well after smartphones were the norm--when he had a kid and the nanny pretty much insisted.
- Spooky23 9y agoAbsolutely. I turned off my voicemail for awhile and forwarded my phone to the main number. It was liberating.
