In today’s connected world, it seems like just about everyone has a smartphone. But what about those who don’t have access to one? According to a recent study by the Pew Research Center, nearly half of American adults now own a smartphone – but that’s not even close to everyone who has access to one. In fact, there are still millions of people in the U.S., and around the globe, who don’t have access to a cell phone. That’s why there’s also an entire industry dedicated to providing alternative phone options for those who need them. These dud-phones can be used by anyone regardless of their age, income or technical ability – which is why they’re so much more common than you might think.
