I tried to tell my dad that I should use GrapheneOS without a carrier and use Wi-Fi only. I’m trying to switch from iPhone. But then he gave me a counterargument and said, “Son, what if you’re stuck on the side of the highway with a broken down car or you need to call emergency services and you don’t have Wi-Fi?” What is the main counterargument to this?

    If you want the phone to work reliably anywhere besides home/school/work, you need a real cellular carrier.

    If you’re a shut-in, WiFi only is fine.
