Nothing - I rarely use it.

I take my one in the car in case of breakdowns and use it to check my bank account. That’s all. I use my landline for calls.

Absolutely everything!
From my days working as a childminder I had all contacts, emergency contacts, allergies, appointments, after school activities… all loaded onto one device which was with me 24/7
I still have everything loaded onto there. One thing to carry
Not even that. I used I use Royal Mail or other services. That way my mail keeps recorded and stores them in order. When I talk to somebody I physically do that.
Hi
My new smartphone is the most important thing that I have now.
It is a rugged phone with a three day battery, a titanium case and linked to all my devices.
It is an essential part of my living at home system as my health deteriorates.
It is linked to all my devices, laptop, video doorbells and both inside and outside cameras.

I couldn’t do any banking anymore and I’d miss that dreadfully.

At worst, it would be an inconvenience if I lost my phone, but that’s about it. Everything I have on it is backed up regularly and easily transferred to another phone if I had to. Lived for years without one and could still live for years without one. The only difference is the minor convenience it affords in having one.

my android smartphone is a toy, rarely leaves the house, I don’t use it for banking/payments or anything serious.
If lost, I’d lose the contacts list which is not invaluable. And a load of old text messages that need deleting anyway.

Nothing really, I back up my family snapshots, it’d just be a pain in the arse paying for a new unit and setting it up.
Mobile phones are a necessity these days,no more and no less.

I’d miss the bus most likely. The ‘UK Bus Checker’ app lets me know real-time when a bus will arrive at a bus stop.

What chaos would follow if the world Wi Fi and data went down . Nothing would work . The world would literally collapse
I must back up my contacts because I have no numbers stored in my brain . Thanks for the reminder

@Bretrick Like you, my mobile phone is just a standard non smart job from Nokia, but I would miss my music micro-SD card when I’m out and about, as I rely on my music files in my ears to keep me entertained when shopping etc.

@Eliza that made me chuckle. I keep getting links to follow on my clamshell phone which doesn’t connect to the internet. I tried to follow the links on my laptop but I think the links need android and not widows…The NHS and others ask for surveys on how well they did, I hate doing texting with fiddly little buttons and fat fingers, so I don’t even try. My family insist that I take my phone with me when I go out walking but I sometimes forget. The only phone numbers on it are family and friends, my barber and green flag…Who are now redundant due to the demise of my motor…
All my internet work is done on this laptop…When I’m sat comfy and warm on my favourite sofa…

Hi
An update.
My phone
https://www.gsmarena.com/doogee_s99-12128.php
I also have a case for it
It has already saved me £20 in electricity costs.
The 13 year old geek is back on Sunday with Mum, who is cleaning, to install some more things.
She is doing it as part of a school project and getting mega marks for it, as well as getting loads of donations for apps and hardware.
She will go far.
She still thinks that I am a dinosaur however.
