Make sure you put your phones into the microwave when a solar storm comes

I mean, if all the infrastructure is fried, your phone surviving wont do much besides allow you to have a disconnected phone until the battery dies.

I'm the beginning yes, but when everything does start going back online, you'll be able to while everyone else is overpaying for the limited supply. Billions will be wanting smart devices just to call other people and the supply will be extremely limited for a while.

The ideal good to have in their are a phone or two, loaded up external hard drives, solar charging batteries, and maybe a laptop. Enough to get by until everything is relatively more normal.
