As a living creature, we only really need food, shelter, and someone to love (and love us back). Everything past that is for the enjoyment of our existence. If you're not in a position to pay for an expensive cell phone plan, or if you'd simply find the money better spent elsewhere, then do that. When you ask me if I "need" to use my smartphone, you sound like my mother. Don't do that.
