I maaaay have taken my phone on an accidental trip in a pool and was given an old phone to use as temporary. Has a headphone port. Saw the radio app and realized how do many of my smart phones even had radio access even though they all are capable. Bastards
This is the reason I keep a dumbphone with radio in an emergency bag. Battery lasts forever, I can call and text and, well, radio! Any cheap pair of headphones will work with it.
Something I found out, at least where I live, even without a SIM your old phone can still make emergency calls. Even your old smart phone can be useful in an emergency bag. Battery would be the issue but if there’s a decent power Bank that can stay charged for long periods that might work too
Recently there has been a movement for “3g shutdown” in some parts of the world, but I guess it will spread with time too. So unfortunately it will stop working at some point.
Does emergency call go through 3G? I thought it was something lower.
