Extra phone lines cost almost nothing and free smartphones are a thing again. They practically throw low end iPhones and pixels at you to try for a new contract. I can understand spending $10/mo for peace of mind from the bus stop to school. I have a home phone again (cell phone) because it cost nothing extra. YMMV by country and region.
