I wonder if they feel happy without but still feel the need to be with their phone 99% of the time...

You've got a point there. My phone is mostly just a glorified calling and texting device, but I'd be pretty stranded without it.

Me too, but I have a good strategy. I have an old phone that can basically only make calls and send texts. It's hilarious, but it works!

Do you pay for 2 plans? Or do you switch the SIM to your smart phone?
Or do you not have a smart phone?
I thought about the SIM switching solution, but someone told me that SIM cards are not designed to be inserted/removed constantly, and they'd probably break fairly quickly. Plus I called a provider...when you switch SIMS between phones, apparently it's one of the markers for fraud, and they may brick your phone.

I own an older smartphone, and I only turn on the internet when I really need to ! :)
That mechanism is new to me, but it's a clever idea.

At least in the USA, covid really got kids addicted to electronic devices.
In order to keep going to "school", they had to use them.
Now kids cant function without them.
