If you don't have a smart phone in the US, even temporally, your almost a second class citizen.
Then if you don't install corporate apps on your phone, there are even more problems for you.
I remember this being true almost as soon as smart phones and QR codes were invented. There were so many things you just couldn't do as easily if you didn't have one. Even in 2006.
