    I really like the rugged aesthetic and would have it on me for tunes while dirt biking.

    Just for research I powered up my old ~2006 flip phone (yeah I do have a tech hoarding problem) and though it doesn’t have wifi, one of its functions is a browser, so it’s definitely still getting an IP address in one form or another. With the 3g discontinuation, I’m pretty sure even if a device doesn’t use a data plan, it still gets an ipv6 address. Do carriers even support analog voice anymore, or is it all delivered digitally? I know AT&T priority push-to-talk traffic is digital transmission, even if the device doesn’t have a data plan.
