    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.

        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?
