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 in the US, you stick a thumb out. If in Australia, index finger. Repeat for whichever country you’re in. Contrary to what the Internet often pushes, many other humans are decent people and will stop to help.
I would be more concerned about others unable to reach me. Like, my mom isn’t doing well and if I missed her calls during a health crisis because I wasn’t on wifi, I’d have a hard time with that.
