Sure you do. How is my phone going to be online?
Cell tower access for Internet is not reliable here.
I use wires for what can use wires and wifi for anything which cannot sensibly be on a wired connection such as a phone.
All wired connections and wifi access points are on all the time.

Someone else mentioned cars. I prefer to keep my car off wifi. No need for the car to use it.
