Only reason I own a smartphone is to fit in while working - it was like being an outsider with everyone else getting information immediately via Trello and Slack. I would often miss last minute changes to meetings and stuff.

Other than that I have no reason to own one and would love to get rid of it. I deleted all my social media accounts, I use normal taxi services and public transport, I memorize directions from my computers and so on. I don't even check my emails on the thing.

If work requires trello and slack on a mobile device, it would be reasonable to ask them to buy said device for you. I dislike the trend of work expecting people to use their personal mobile device to stay connected or even for 2FA.
