Yeah, I don't do the whole app thing, and am considering replacing my soon to be obsolete old cell phone with a flip phone. Read an article the other day as well that said some of the Apple and Android phones were emitting higher radiation than allowed by law too.
My girlfriend also was a member of the store rewards program where we shop. She went online to do some game they were doing and was shocked when her account listed all of her purchases. They collect and sell everything now if they can.
and you've agreed to it, and pay $1000 or more for the privilege.
my phone cost £14 and the monthly is £6 unltd calls and texts.
dump your smartphone - leave the internet at home. people can still call and text you, or you know, speak to you in person.
