Do you remember when everyone got paid with a check at the end of a pay period? That went away with Direct Deposit and everyone had to get a bank account.

Soon, the smart phone will be a part of EVERYONE's daily living. You will not have a choice. The Star Trek cashless society is not too far into the future.
You are talking apples vs oranges. Direct Deposit did not cost me a monthy/annual charge for connectivity. A smart phone is taking money out of my pocket. Make it free and I will think about it.
