Aside: imagine the shock to Americans having to live without smart phones for even an hour?
Pandemonium! Utter chaos!
Wouldn't mean a thing to me. I was forced to get a smartphone when the network was upgraded to 3g and another one when it went to 4g. I only use it to call and text and rarely that.
I understand that I can now get a basic flip phone in 4g without all the computer/internet crapola. That will be my next one and an easily removable battery will be a requirement. Time to downgrade the tech.
I don’t even carry my old flip phone.
