This is well into "tin foil hat" territory for me personally, but I've stopped automatically putting my phone in my pocket when I go out for an errand.
I lived the first fifteen years of my life without a "phone" on me at all times, and I don't see why I need one now.
- sneak 5y agoI frequently carry a dumbphone, powered off, charged, with no sim card. This allows it to be powered on and emergency services called if necessary. (911/112 works fine without a SIM.)
- vgeek 5y agoI've debated getting a cheap/tiny phone like a Unihertz Jelly Pro with a Redpocket sim card to just keep in the car for emergencies. So far I just leave my phone at home unless I'm going on a longer trip.
- sneak 5y agoFor true life safety emergencies you don't even need the SIM/subscription as 911 will still work. For sub-life safety personal emergencies, I can usually just wait until wi-fi.
