Simulacron-3 is a story about a Counterfeit World or a VR World (VRW) with Digital Player_Characters and some Non-Player_Characters. It's a fantastic VR Sci-Fi simulation story from the 1960s.

Dumb Phones are Making a Comeback

 https://techround.co.uk/tech/dumb-phones-making-comeback-why/

A person could have a very basic cell-phone as their actual phone & text device with a SIM_card, then have a smartphone for video and free Wi-Fi access. 

Several people like to have a Dual_SIM in their smartphone, but some people might like to have a sim card in 2 phones.

https://www.laptopmag.com/phones/dumbphones-in-2024-social-media-trend-or-something-more

Instead of carrying around 2 nice & big smartphones, one of them could be a basic cell-phone.

https://www.cape.co/blog/best-dumb-phones-of-2024

Some people will carry a portable-charger or a power-bank with them to recharge their smartphone late in the day when away from home. Of course a basic cell-phone will last throughout the day.

https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20240515-the-dumbphones-people-want-are-hard-to-find

However, by just having a basic phone for calls and texting, then they could still have a smartphone for pictures, video and web browsing. Thus, by doing that will likely reduce the need to always carry a portable-charger.

https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/is-the-flip-phone-back-why-some-people-are-switching-to-dumbphones-1.7236222

At the end of the day, some people will always prefer to have their all in one smartphone, but some people will just want to have a basic cell-phone.
