Who wants free unlimited talk and text (no data) cellular service? This is totally free, and you dont need to connect to wifi for it to work, you buy one of their SIM cards for 5 bucks, and then they let you use their cell towers for free, and sell emergency data plans. This isn't obamaphone either, or any other welfare program, just a private company offering free 5G cell service.

@VeganMGTOW depends on your lifestyle, if you spend most of your time indoors, connected to WiFi, there really isn't much else i need a smartphone for other than calling and texting, i have an ipad as a companion to my laptop while doing work/research.
