This works for me since I have access to wifi almost through the whole day, even though I keep it turned off on my devices, only connecting when needed, If I’m out doing something I don’t expect I will need internet, and in the event I would I can always activate the data through the phone and have instant access for 24 hours.
I understand that for people that commute or have down time during the day having internet anywhere may be a necessity to help pass the time, but having a book, and audiobook or some music on your phone will do the same thing and you don’t need data for that. I find ridiculous how people nowadays go through life glued to their phones, even when crossing the street they have their eyes glued to the phone, it’ a miracle some of them are still alive.

I totally agree 100%!
I only just got T-Mobile $15.00 a month plan in September, before that I had pay as you go where I purchased 1100 minutes for a year and usually, I had minutes left over. The only things I use my phone constantly for is to read and listen to my music during my commute to and from work.
I wait until I'm home to use the internet in a safe environment.
