I would not call a landline phone nor email an alternative to a cell phone as they do not offer remote communication, and also came well before cell phones, so a cell phone is an alternative to those. If someone wants to speak to me, they can call my office phone, or my home phone; if I am not there, then they can leave a message.
I just can't see paying $60/month so that other people can interrupt me in the middle of whatever I am doing. When I had a smart phone, I found myself wasting a lot of time surfing the web, and the slowness was just so annoying that it always put me in a bad mood. The only reason I bought it in the first place was because I was developing Android apps.
When I am on vacation and travelling around the country (the U.S.A. by SUV - see Overlanding), I have a vhf/uhf amateur service radio and a gps locator device (Spot). These devices allow for emergency communication.
