Leaving phone out of reach

I have mine with me most of the time but when it rings it will more likely be a scam call than anything else. If I don't recognize the number I seldom answer it. I use it more for internet and this place than anything else. Still have a landline and my wife refuses to have a cell phone. She used to, but since both of her parents have passed away she doesn't see a need for one, and she hates having to use my smartphone for anything.
