Net Disconnection - Postponed


Foolish indecision resulted in the continuation of the current $30 per month wireless plan. Although it is a good plan (see previous footnote titled, “T-Mobile® $30/month Plan”), there is just no justification to continue the subscription. No phone calls, no text messages, and just 1.4 GBytes of 4G LTE data used in the last 30-day period ... not worth the cost. Convenience is a consideration, but a minor one at that.

There are no third-party or first-party “apps” installed. Non-system “apps” have been pruned to include the most useful. Incidentally, any “app” requiring a subscription or registration is immediately disqualified by default. Most “apps” are performing tracking functions. Even “apps” supported by advertising is performing tracking on the user. So, the best decision is to avoid the use of “apps.”

Given the conditions of the current police and surveillance state, the use of any “smartphone” should be limited. Location services and all wireless radios should be disabled while the “smartphone” is not being used. The decision to move to a “pay ‘n go” wireless plan must be expedited.

Update: Another 1.27 GBytes of “stuff” has been deleted from the “cloud.” So far, 3.27 GBytes of “stuff has been deleted.
