How does Nokia solve free long distance calling/texting, maps, finding restaurants, scanning barcode for covid checkins, taxis in foreign countries…

  > maps, finding restaurants,
It's a dumb phone, not a map.

  > covid checkins,
You just print QR code and put it in your wallet.

  > taxis in foreign countries
