Yes, of course, I only got one of the things when I got a girlfriend - who is now my wife - in another country. Before that time I was employed as a service developer and -architect at a big telco while at the same time (well, at night mostly) working on a number of free software projects. I did standby duty during the Y2K moment supreme (nothing happened and I could party along at the hostel close to the office). When I needed to be reachable I had a pager on me, otherwise I was either close to something with a network connection or in disconnected bliss out in the woods.

The same works just as well now with the exception of the pager which needs to be replaced with a phone. Wear it when you need to be reachable, otherwise leave it at home. I still do this with my phones in a way in that I don't use data and leave my main device at home when I'm out in the woods. The secondary phones - I have a number of them - are all older Android devices which I use as audio players and cameras which happen to make it possible for people to reach me.

Just get a cheap phone or leave your current one at home for a while to see how it goes.
