A smartphone can be a "shit phone." Besides being a landline replacement, it may be a person's only access to the Internet, email, and more in an age where basic jobs often require applying online.
The $60/m plan with meh smartphone is much cheaper than landline + computer + Internet.

Great points. Do these people have a computer with internet access or do they generally just rely on their phones for business?
Furthermore, I often see the homeless guys in NYC with cheap Dell laptops and Thinkpads using public Wifi to Skype their buddies. So there's that.
Laptop + free wifi is one option. Relying on phone as only computer is another.
