Wow, no phone since 2018? I'm curious how you're able to live in the modern world. I can immediately understand some of the benefits. I myself use a degoogled Pixel 4a and only have a few basic apps installed. However, going completely without a phone must have some significant drawbacks. Care to elaborate a bit more? Do still have a phone number like VoIP?

I can call to anyone's phone if needed - for example using Skype service - but I have no number to call me. To have a VoIP number - I bought one for 1 month in that period while applying for a job to one huge corporation. HR didn't wanted to pass me further without phone number - but to have a number it was 5 minutes.
