Yes, I could. But that allows the phone company to be lazy about coverage and building their network. The primary reason I pay a monthly cell phone bill is for a good network.

It also gets into security issues that are different from cellular network use.

And what if my internet is down and I have an emergency?

How often do you have an emergency that combines lost wifi and inability to leave the basement?

The older I get the more possible that becomes. I am not 20 and bulletproof any more.
