I take the cell in a Faraday bag when I’m driving the beater. I’d only use it in the event of an emergency. If I’m in a situation that warrants my using my cell, Deep State is the least of my worries.
But I’m old enough to remember rotary dial telephones.
A cell phone is a convenience to me.
Not a necessity.
I still have a rotary phone! Ok, it’s on display, but it can be used in an emergency. Good old landlines!
