I mostly use it to make international calls cause sometimes the country my folks are living in shuts down the cellular internet for some reason when major exams/riots are happening and whatsapp stops working.
Imaging telling a whole nation of people they can't use internet on their 500+ dollar phone. The fuck did they buy them for, playing temple run?
South Korea? I heard they are insane when it comes to exams.
Algeria, Syria, Iraq and Jordan apparently. Source: https://www.thenationalnews.com/news/uae/2024/05/31/exam-cheating-internet-blackout/
India. Small correction, they don't shut it down for entire country, just the state ditricts the exams are happening in.

India still seems to be leading country doing shutdowns though.
