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?
You don’t need a cellphone plan, just a cellular data plan (say prepaid 1-2Gb) and you just keep cellular data switched off unless it is an emergency.
Then you can still “WiFi call” in an emergency over that cellular data connection.
