OK, So I basically want to change my telecoms setup to something I'm not sure exists.
So... gist is that I use my smartphone for internet and stuff, it's basically a small tablet.
I don't really use it as a phone.
What I'm keen on doing is to not take the smartphone with me always, and to have a small ultra-light and long battery life, potentially displayless, phone.
When I am carrying my smartphone then I want my telephone to be the equivalent of a modem and a local communications hot spot.
So the setup I imagine is:
1) A voice activated displayless phone with no address book, contacts, apps, etc. But a solid battery life, 2G, 3G, 4G, bluetooth, WiFi hotspot. All of the latter it would configure to be via a VPN. I imagine this to be the size and shape of 1/3 of a packet of polos, and for the battery to be replaceable. I imagine a single button for the voice activation, and a small mic and speaker built in. Voice activation would dial numbers, configure the thing.
2) Take out the SIM from my smartphone and have it use the connectivity (WiFi or bluetooth) of the telephone. The smartphone should also have the capability to be a handset to the telephone.
Does this exist?
