One can only be a phone slave if one chooses to be or needs to be for work.
I always carry my phone but I do so for my convenience, not the convenience of others. (Does this make me a phone slave?)
When I don’t wish to be disturbed it is set to silent. I don’t answer my phone if I don’t know who the caller is. (I do the same on my home phone and many calls just go straight to message bank)
I have corded and cordless phones at home.
Phones are cheap and it is illogical to me for one not to have one unless one is so poor they can’t afford one.
My parents are in their eighties and both have a mobile phone. They carry them around but the phone is switched off. They only switch them on if they wish to make a call. After they make a call they switch the phone back off. (I guess they are phone slaves too eh)
I value my time & find my phone to be extremely convenient.
YMMV
