Oh but I do love my phone

If you don't care about data, you don't care about a smart phone, because that's what it is. But you might care about data after all, once you realize all that you can do...

...last month I played out with the cover band for a private party, and we suddenly got thunderstorm'd on. I went to the My-Cast weather app, and showed everyone the moving radar screen that said we were currently in a thunderstorm but that it would be completely over in 30 minutes with no further storms behind it. The storm passed and we went back on with lightning in the distance, knowing it was headed the other way.

This is me. If I could dump my cell phone altogether I'd do it, but people (read wife and cow-orkers) think I need to be reached.

Keep forgetting to turn it on until they get used to the idea they can't reach you. They'll soon find out they really don't have a reason to most of the time.
Then dump the phone.

Or every time you answer snarl, spit, and swear, until they stop calling.
Then dump the phone.
