  Carlos: She is right :-P

The point is that a smartphone without a data plan, for an _intelligent_
person, is perfectly functional.

Just like a smart phone without a cloud account is perfectly functional.

It's my opinion that the dumber people are, the more they need crutches:
a. Data plan 
b. Cloud storage

There's a _reason_ MARKETING pushes this stuff to the ignorati, Carlos:
o Do people of reasonable technical ability store their private data on the Internet (if so, for what gain?)

Only the ignorati would claim that a smartphone is useless without a
cellular connection to the Internet - and they did - she and you both.
