I only succumbed to a smartphone in January 2018, when my lack of one began to inconvenience everyone around me. I'm surprised at how much it's improved my life (books on trolleys! Duolingo!

I use a two-phone system. I have my "real" phone (non-smart) which is what I take calls and texts on. I have my "travel" phone (a refurbished iPhone) that I use for ride-share, maps, translations, etc. Nobody has my travel number, and it has a tiny amount of bandwidth (100MB/mo).

I bet you anything though that both Uber and Facebook have added that number to your internal profile.

oh for sure. I'm not keeping them separate to try and fake out the man. I'm keeping it separate so people can't bug me on that phone.
