I've been considering getting rid of my mobile data for this reason and force people to call or text.

I have been experimenting recently with turning airplane mode on when I am outdoors. Although I still use a notes app and an offline .mp3 player.

I can definitely recommend, it feels much calmer, slower, and my situational awareness improved too.

It's worked out well so far for me without a data plan. My family is fine with call, text, or e-mail options for talking to me or sending me things like their football picks. The only time it sucks is when I lose power and have to resort to sparing use of mobile data to know when it's coming back on.

It's also filtered out a decent bit of text spam because the ones with pictures are MMS instead of SMS and the former requires mobile data.
