It's not a life style choice. I have been deaf in both ears for over 35 years. The only way I can use a mobile phone is to put it on loudspeaker and broadcast my conversation over a distance of several blocks.
So I have never bothered.
Phone calls probably account for around 4-5% of the usage of my mobile phone.So I have never bothered.
The rest is apps, transport tickets, ID cards, contactless wallet, payment methods, Ebay/amazon, messages, emails, photos, social media, forums, internet browsing, maps, directions, news, information, wikipedia, games, youtube...
Even if I was deaf I couldn't live without one.
I'm extremely surprised you don't have a phone even if you cannot use it for phone calls. I would have thought that messages would be the easiest way for a deaf person to communicate with friends, family and colleagues?
My Lord, I did post an explanation on a similar thread, but as you ask, I will try to clarify it again.
I am 71, retired from the NHS for over 11 years now. On reaching pensionable age, I developed cancer, which resulted in several operations, the last of which was (rightly) described to me as life changing. I will spare you the details.
As a result, I am now happy to live a quiet home based life, and I am fortunate to have provided myself with an array of books and hobbies here indoors and in my garden that occupy my time pleasurably. Travel is almost exclusively local. I enjoy my life, my family, and I am grateful for it and wish for no more.
I fully appreciate what ingenious devices smart phones are, and how much a young, fit working person can get out of one. But there is nothing in the way I live that demands one. So I haven't bought one.
On the other thread, somebody was kindly suggesting that a person such as myself was a 'luddite' or a 'troglodyte'. But this is not true. For the record I was using computer techniques from the early 1970s onwards in science, and in fact, I wrote the first programmes ever to be used in geophysical analysis at UCL. That was the days of punch cards!
I bought my own kids the first home computers, and I have used a PC at home ever since. I also have an iPad. This is completely sufficient for me to get my dose of social media, and research on topics that interest me, like local history. I just don't have any need to do this outside of the home.
A couple of birthdays ago I happened to mention that I was starting to feel a bit exposed when out driving on my own, in case I had a breakdown or an accident, as it seems to be taken for granted now that a driver will be able to make a call. My son bought me a simple PAYG phone, that does little more than make a call. I think I have used it about three times since, simply to ring my home number to check it was still working!
I have no reason to buy an expensive piece of kit to do things I have no need for. That doesn't seem unreasonable to me, yet I have noticed that some younger people, with busy jobs and busy lives, can't seem to get this, and think I am being deliberately obtuse in not aspiring to their 'always connected' life style. It frustrates me that people design things like the Ap in question, or car parking payment systems, that just assumes everybody owns a smartphone.
I hope this clarifies the matter. But then, you will only have to put up with old duffers like me a little while longer.

All of that makes sense now you have explained it, and I absolutely wish you and your family the very best.

It would be interesting to see the joined circles on the Venn diagram for those allergic to a govt app and those that have signed up to this
Been out a little while. Request for data erase as well. Something you cannot do with the NHS app. I did read the T+C with the app before running it.Apologies if there is another thread for this, or been asked elsewhwere, but here goes.
I have some questions about the new app that I have downloaded and how it will work.
Does it have to be open, to do the bluetooth 'someone close to you has had it?
As it is [supposodly] anonymous, how can it possible alert you if someone nearby has the virus?
If it needs to be open all the time, what will the battery drain be?
Even if there was a 100% download take up, I cannot see a suffiecient number of the population being able to have a modern enough phone/be able to work it/remembering to open it/etc to make it any good.
Are the results of the Isle of Wight [and Newnham?] tests anywhere? Is the virus under control or less prevalent in these areas?
If it tracks you all the time, why do you need to scan the venue QR?

I think you're talking about the NHS/track&trace covid app - this thread is about the separate app where you just report how you are feeling and the data gives the researchers a broad geographic idea of how the infection rates are going.I have some questions about the new app that I have downloaded and how it will work.
