I watched a movie recently where they went 20 years back in time and the only discernable difference was everyone had flip phones rather than smart phones.
I find that a lot of movies/tv shows are doing this. Cell phones just seem to be challenging for writers. In a pickle, yeah call someone. Lost, yeah you've got the internet man, your fine. I think the "my phone is dead" and "there's no cell signal just got beat like a dead horse, and having characters just not answer every time something comes up makes the characters look worse.

Reminds me of Star Trek. The original series made teleporters because it was cheaper. In later shows and series they had to constantly create reasons for why the teleporters aren't working.

To be fair, if a technology was going to disassemble me down to a subatomic scale and reassemble me somewhere else, I'd want the atmospheric and ship's systems conditions to be absolutely perfect, too.

It would be believable today if someone was in a pinch, tried to call someone else and people would just not answer because it's a call and not a text message.
