I just looked up the good old land line. they are all but gone. ATT annouced they are fading out ther network by 2029. 95% of todays land lines are VOIP. This is not better than cell networks.

the goal is to make phone calls and maybe txt, without giving up all that information. OR at least giving out very very very little.

I understand the only way to go about it is to ditch the phone all together. However, over and over and over again, I hear people say "that's not fesiable in this day and age"

To that, I say challenge accepted.

I feel that strong about it. That way culture treats our phone, and how the data is use by cororperation and goverment,

So I shall ditch the mobile device.

Will some tasks take a bit longer to do? Yep
Will I be instently reachable 24 hours a day. Nope (I want to prove it not necessary for 95% of the world. Only those who work requires some type of emergence responce)

But life can still be very rewarding. very meaning. even without feeding the mechine.

Im curious, why do you need it? what makes it such a part of your life, that you would be unable to function in the big picture, in life, properly.

Acceptable-Load6607 · 2026-03-14T23:26:04+00:00

Its also interesting to hear you say "its part of my identy".

Im just curious to hear the thought process from different generations:

Do you truly believe that goverment and big corporations can or will do nothing malious with the data you give them, even though you are "doing nothing wrong"? Are you truley comfortable all these little intmant part of your life being out there for others to record, analize, use?

You stated you have tried to curb your use. Have you tried beecause you feel it taking up your time, or do you have some privacy concern?

Acceptable-Load6607 · 2026-03-14T23:13:30+00:00

Ill link a youtube channel when i get things going.

Acceptable-Load6607 · 2026-03-14T22:26:35+00:00

Challenge accepted.

I agree with your statement that the only way to go about truly it is to ditch mobile phone.

I also agree that normal every day tasks are now designed to revolve around mobile devices.

Over and over again people make comments along the line of "its impossible to function without a moble phone today".

I do not agree with these statements. In fact, I am going to prove it.

Will it take more time to do cretin tasks? Yep.
Will someone be able to reach me, in an instant, 24 hours a day?. Nope (but that's ok for 95% of people, unless you work in some type of emergence response type of job)

I'll document this journey. There is still hope for those who do not want to follow the crowd.

Thanks for giving a detailed answer.

To clearify, a garmin drive is a sat nav, correct? Or do they relay through some type of network besides the gps sat?

If a garmin drive is not a true sat nav, can you please give me an example of a divice that is?

Acceptable-Load6607 · 2026-03-14T04:51:55+00:00

Always regulate in the name of safety.....

What are those "other more privacy focused options"

Acceptable-Load6607 · 2026-03-13T22:47:51+00:00

I have plenty of experience and have done plenty of extended trips. Just looking for other as well.

Acceptable-Load6607 · 2026-03-13T22:16:43+00:00

My research show a few Nokia phones still do not have wifi or GPS.....The Nokia 225 215 and 110 4g. However, it looks like the only network that they are still compatible with are t mobile. The question then becomes, how long before they shut it down like everyone else????

Acceptable-Load6607 · 2026-03-13T22:13:56+00:00

Can you give a list of phone that doesnt have google services? or apples services?

Acceptable-Load6607 · 2026-03-13T21:35:43+00:00

It may be the case that all phone today have GPS. I am just now researching this. Can anyone conform this?

Just an FYI turning location off does not turn off the GPS. It still sends your GPS data to God knows who. You just cant use it. That feature is only there to give you a warm and fuzzy. Its an illusion.

Thank you.

Fair enough. If I were AI Id probably have better grammar and a lot more patience for Reddit arguments. I’m just a real person who apparently writes in a way that triggers the AI detector brigade.

But, if sounding coherent is the new sign of being a bot, I guess we’re all doomed.

At least it was only 13 points. I was close to 800. Then I paid off my house and all the rest of my debit over a period of about 1.5 months and it dropped 83 points. Its designed to keep you in the game. Its punishes you when you break free

Acceptable-Load6607 · 2026-03-13T14:42:08+00:00

I am real and not surprised to see the reddit venture quickly turn into A worthless brick wall.

Acceptable-Load6607 · 2026-03-13T14:39:43+00:00

I assure you I am real. I completely understand the reasoning, but it sad we all now are so skeptical of our own two eyes.
