[QUOTE="Jacob Robinson, post: 1359665, member: 18849"] Get a pager and keep your phone turned off unless you need to actually use it. Pagers just receive messages, they do not transmit their locations, and big tech forgot there ever was such a thing as pagers. Have one issued from where I work, but they are still available for anyone to buy. One AA battery lasts for months--do not have to always look for a charger. My phone is a simple flip phone. Used to a have a smart phone, all the way back to one of those BlackBerry's with the keyboard. Do not miss them. If I want to use a computer, I sit down in front of a computer. If I want to watch a movie I go to the living room and turn the TV on. If I want to read something, I go to the library and read something. I don't try to do all three at once. And I don't think it does any good to constantly be distracted by a smart phone. I still have an old TomTom GPS in the car for when I need directions. Skipping a smart phone saves money, besides maintaining sanity and keeping big brother at bay. [/QUOTE]
