Now that my Lightphone 3 is soon arriving, I have taught myself to be very much disciplined with my data usage. I had plenty of time to train my behaviour since the early pre-order that, honestly, I think the Lightphone 3 is no longer so much needed! I thought, I can't go overnight from fully-fledged smartphone addict to a Lightphone. Now the LP3 will take a different role I think, helping me to further disconnect from the unnecessary. I still plan to keep an unlimited data plan though, as my son will not understand the notion of "no internet". The LP3's hotspot will come in handy.
Not a bad idea! This past summer I went on a cruise without a WiFi plan, and on the open sea, there is no data connection. I was that the “pull” was diminished, and my shiny iPhone was relegated to whatever was downloaded onto it.
I imagine iMessage won’t work without any data. That’s the Achille’s heel for me :(

Yes. iMessage won't work. You can sync it once per hour or so though by using the data toggle and seeing if anyone reached out :)
