Chatting to People Without Possessing a 'Smart' Phone

Telephone booth

Mumble is a hoot. You rarely need to boot.

Landlines are a thing. Even when the Internet is needed for them to ring.

Public booths exist sometimes. They only cost a few dimes.

Meeting in person is "limitless minutes". Can be done over coffee and peanuts.

So what's your excuse? Must you really carry around a "mobile" or "cellphone" to maintain contact with other people?

I'm on holiday! Don't phone me or I'll set you on fire!
