I have been without a phone for about 3 months now. I haven't missed a million-dollar-deal yet or a life saving text message. There are many things you think you NEED until you find it's just luxury with a monetary and social cost. I may get a wifi only phone, but what's for sure is I won't pay $75 for a service anymore.
There are few that would consider their smart phone a "NEED" (save for those that use it primarily for business purposes) however it is highly convenient and affords a significant peace of mind.
In my case, I can hardly imagine traveling in an unfamiliar area without a GPS enabled smart phone, which ensures I not only do not get lost, but should I experience car trouble then help is just a few button presses away.
