When we were kids and my parents did a weekend away we were given the # of the hotel, but Mom would say "don't call me unless it's an emergency, and a broken leg is not an emergency." To this day I am not sure if she was kidding or not. Ah, the good old days!
Some irony though: now that she's 95 and alone and I am the closest child to her…

Some irony though: now that she's 95 and alone and I am the closest child to her I carry my phone all the time. It seems whenever I don't (or sometimes have it on airplane mode) some panic ensues and it causes her great anxiety if I'm not immediately reachable. I'm also the emergency contact for my granddaughter at school. So I will carry for now but maybe someday I can ditch it at least part of the time...

Yes JFly completely understand your current situation.
Same with myself.
My father seemed to have contracted turbo cancer.
Sister is near by but Im also on standby.
Son is special needs and lives with Dad half the year so again need to be reachable.
I’ve thought about the flip phone
Not sure those are around anymore
Think they might have faded like Pagers
Still hoping someday to find that off-grid piece of property but I’m not really sure that buzz word is really a real thing anymore
“Off-grid” 🤔
I still think “they” may be able to track ya down even without a cell shadow tracking your every move
🤔🥺
