A cell phone without a plan can still call 911. I have a phone with no plan. I use it for games and reading. I have a 128GB card in it loaded with thousands of books and documents. I have the wifi turned off and have it on airplane mode. I also have an RF proof cover for it.
Stop your plan, turn off the wifi, put your phone in airplane mode, and get an RF cover for it. You'll be safe, and if there is an emergency, you can still turn off airplane mode and call 911.
If you think you might need to call a friend or relative in an emergency, get a monthly plan with Net10. It's only $30+ for unlimited everything. Then you can still keep it in airplane mode and covered up until you need to use it.
I don't text. I don't have any minutes. I use email and a regular landline telephone. I'm even considering turning off the landline phones, as 99% or more of the calls are from that helpful "David" guy over in India who works with car warranties, Microsoft, Social Security, and so many other things.
Telegram is a hopium den, I live there.
Think about it:
If everyone else has a cell phone, you can just ask one of them in an emergency!
I've been doing no cell phone experiments while Im running around local. Its absolutely freeing.
