It’s worked out well so far for me without a data plan. My family is fine with call, text, or e-mail options for talking to me or sending me things like their football picks. The only time it sucks is when I lose power and have to resort to sparing use of mobile data to know when it’s coming back on.
It’s also filtered out a decent bit of text spam because the ones with pictures are MMS instead of SMS and the former requires mobile data.
I’ve been considering getting rid of my mobile data for this reason and force people to call or text.

I have been experimenting recently with turning airplane mode on when I am outdoors. Although I still use a notes app and an offline .mp3 player.
I can definitely recommend, it feels much calmer, slower, and my situational awareness improved too.
