    Who says you even need cellular service? It’s just a different type of radio signal, VoIP has existed for years. If you even need a phone number. Every app under the sun has a calling feature now, but most people don’t use phone for calling anymore. Wifi is everywhere so cell signal is not as critical these days.

      True! I used Skype on a PSP to talk to friends before I had a cell phone. They could more easily use a phone only with wifi.
