Given this is Hacker News, I await the solution of LSD-assisted therapy to counter phone addiction to be proposed soon.
Why bother stopping a bad habit? That takes effort. Much better to play Russian Roulette with mind altering substances.

The problem is that people under the age of 40 or so don't communicate via phone calls in the first instance. So a phone is not a means to communicate with them and you don't avoid any possible communication issues. Your lunch meeting is telling you on Slack that they're going to be late. You think you have no 'possible communication issues' but you're mistaken.
>The problem is that people under the age of 40 or so don't communicate via phone calls in the first instance. Where on Earth are you getting this information? You've made an unsupported claim that I was able to debunk by talking to the four tables around me. What's your source for "people under the age of 40 or so don't communicate via phone calls?"

Etc etc etc etc
I literally don't think I've been called unannounced by someone under 40 in a decade. In fact I think it's now something of a social faux pas to call unannounced. Maybe the people around your tables are just really rude?

What happens to any text messages or iMessages that you receive while your SIM card is in your other phone? Do they still end up showing in your conversation history on your main device?
What I do is to tell the other person that I'll be using this other number and to call me if there's any change of plans. Edit: I actually have two phone numbers. So the new phone is still at home receiving everything
Not sure if it's just me, but this is getting very hard to separate during quarantine. I often remember conversations that happened over text as having happened in person. Perhaps my mind is accounting for the lack of face-to-face interaction.
I am really curious if this is markedly different from concerns people had about children wasting their time away reading books, as seen in Don Quijote for example.

Please invest in my new startup - we provide an app that recommends LSD microdoses to address your milliphone exposure count.
I'm afraid it's a pass from me on investment. ;)
