A lot of things are necessary parts of modern live and you also have to pay for it, a mobile plan for your smartphone for example.

I had a smartphone but not a mobile plan for years. People can get very creative when times are tough.

Don’t get me wrong, I think everybody should have the guarantee for social participation, I’m just saying that Email is no exception. If you did not have a mobile plan for whatever reason, you were just not participating.

Not really; I could do everything everyone else was doing; just not make phone calls or send sms texts. I used wifi to connect to the net and I could still make emergency calls. Im actually considering going back to that to save money, lol.
