Add GPS to the second catalog and it's done. The key is not about corporate greed actually, as I'm sure my information is already in dozens of vendors DBs. It's about less distraction.

Did you know that you can swap SIM cards between devices? Or that there are dumbphones on the market that can still serve has 5G hotspots for companion devices?

Most "dumb phones" are really low end smartphones running kaios (formerly Firefox OS). And yes they usually have wifi hotspot and usb tethering.

And maps. I am using one as a wifi hotspot right now.
