Hacker News.

    I was looking for a phone that didn’t have a camera. I told him I already have a camera that is NOT a phone.

    He was aghast.

      They definitely make them, but it’s mostly for the government. I don’t know if you can get and use one outside of their contract.

        Well, sort of. I’m now using Google Voice as a land-line.

        For portability I have a personal Hot-Spot and an old iPad that is NOT chipped for phones. I can use the iPad’s browser to get to my Google Voice account.

        I can get voice and pictures and text but for the most part it’s at HOME.
