    I have both a smartphone and a flip phone.

    I kept both because the flip phone lets me make phone calls from my basement and many other places that the smartphone cannot.

    I have never met anyone else with this setup.

      the flip phone lets me make phone calls from my basement and many other places that the smartphone cannot.

      Why? The smartphone supports everything the flip phone does. Honest question.

          Doesn’t seem very likely to me given that cheap feature phones likely use cheap older parts while flagship smartphones state of the art components.

            I don’t know what to tell you. If that’s his experience…

              Well, you apparently don’t know the cause of his experience, so duh …

        Yes, I could. But that allows the phone company to be lazy about coverage and building their network. The primary reason I pay a monthly cell phone bill is for a good network.

        It also gets into security issues that are different from cellular network use.

        And what if my internet is down and I have an emergency?
