    Don’t get me wrong, I think everybody should have the guarantee for social participation, I’m just saying that Email is no exception. If you did not have a mobile plan for whatever reason, you were just not participating.

      Not really; I could do everything everyone else was doing; just not make phone calls or send sms texts. I used wifi to connect to the net and I could still make emergency calls. Im actually considering going back to that to save money, lol.

        Well I know you’re talking about cutting the cord completely, but if you’re in the us TMobile (micro-shilling for a second) has a $15 unlimited talk/text and 2.5g of data prepaid that I used for a few years (until I upgraded) but since I was mostly on wifi it was absolutely viable

        Also I guess the sentiment here is to de-google , but I’ve had my Google voice number for over a decade and I’ve used that as my primary number even when I haven’t had a cell phone provider. I use it for texting and calling and can use it on the PC in a browser window

        Alright shilling over, but I guess my point is there’s that route or I’m sure countless other options that are more secure you can use so you don’t have to do without calling/texting
