You are still using a button phone?

My suggestion is a phone w a dialpad and apps. I found the following one and it has maps & you can install either uber or lyft (which I prefer) or both.

TIQ mini M5 Smartphone Android 13 Google Play Android Auto

I'd say fine to not using it for banking or mobile pay but there are starting to be things you cant do without a phone with apps. Catching a ride is a big one. Another is many municipalities are going to mobile app based payment.

I support you using it as little as you can but as a backup it is beyond compare. Just keep it charged and leave it turned off until you need it. Try and turn it on at least once a week to have it ready.

Good luck, I am glad you mananaged to find your way back Twentith Century style.
