I tried to tell my dad that I should use GrapheneOS without a carrier and use Wi-Fi only. I’m trying to switch from iPhone. But then he gave me a counterargument and said, “Son, what if you’re stuck on the side of the highway with a broken down car or you need to call emergency services and you don’t have Wi-Fi?” What is the main counterargument to this?
It is complicated. He says true. And maybe your need to use GrapheneOS is relevant. If you have a smartphone without cellular connection, for a daily usage, FMPOV it is a non-sense in case of emergency. It is a risk you will have to take, I can’t disagree your dad. And what about your solution but with a SIM card with very few data and SMS available, through a SIM card you can keep aside your phone and insert when needed?
