Can you reserve a ride without a cellphone, thus no app?

All of these posts don't consider that you can always use a friend with a smartphone to arrange the trip for you.

Of course, the trip fee would go on his/her bill. This should be no problem among friends.

It beats paying another service to do the same thing.

If this won't work then a taxi is the best bet.

I have had quite a conversation on Quora with a guy who had a flip phone that he insisted on using.

He thought the goverment should make Uber assist those without smartphones and credit cards.

The exchange went back end forth for several days.

I finally ended the conversation by saying, "if you wanted to clean a window on the second floor and had no ladder, would you buy or borrow a ladder or insist that the goverment get you a ladder."

I once drove a religious Jewish family and they told me that mmany of the religious jews are not allowed to have a smart phone, so they use flip phones to call a service that is specifically set up by smart interpreneurs to receive their call from flip phone and schedule a rideshare for them then that person calls them on their flip phone and tells them what car will pick them up, just like a regular ride where a family member from across country requests a ride and calls the driver to let them know who we are picking up
