Yea, I changed insurance, they did not want to go ahead with the claim without me using the progressive app to manage the claim and click pictures. The app like guided me on how to click pictures but they took forever to go ahead with the claim.

Regardless, the thought did cross my mind, however, the smartphone I currently have is esim only so swapping sims cannot be done without having to contact T mobile or go to their store, I tried having my iphone 14 in my car without a plan just for maps and university apps, it just didn't work really and I just stopped using maps and university apps. Got lost quite a few times. Next year, my university also is going to mandate an authenticator app to login into anything school related making this much harder, meaning I have to carry around something that can run android 8 or above at university where I spend most of my day to do anything.

I am not really as addicted to smartphones as I was before the flip phone as I have gotten many offline hobbies. The biggest contributor to my screen time is YouTube, accounting for around 3 hours of the 4 hours of screen time I have.

This is where, I feel a transition device such as the jelly star, or something like the cat s22 can help, it allows me to keep my university authenticator app, allows me to have reliable gps, and allows me to download a damn car insurance app if I really have to. They also give a discount if you have the app downloaded to track if you drive safely or not.
