If a person buys a drone, such as a Mavic, and buys a cell phone, does the phone need to have
an account, or can it be used solely for flying the drone?

Which DJI drone are you considering?

Thanks for that info, Duck--it's just what I was looking for (I don't have a cell phone). After
posting my question here, I decided to have a look at the DJI pages (that's the only company
I'm aware of so far), and I see they have a set with goggles, apparently to see what the drone
is seeing. Now, if I could just remember where I put that unneeded $1400.... One drawback
with that system, it would seem to me, is if the drone is close, you can't just look up at
it--you'd have to let go of the controller and pull off the goggles.

No particular one at the moment. After looking at the DJI pages and prices, I might decide to
just use a ladder and a camera in my hand to monitor the illegal pig farm next door :-l
I would hate to buy something expensive, as there are so many utility wires around my house it
looks like the set of Jurasic Park--and I don't have very quick reflexes. A lot of trees, too.
Wide-open spaces are scarce around here.
And no sales tax with the Payboo/B&H credit card. I have saved so much money with that thing.

That is the DJI FPV drone, and I would not recommend it as a first drone for anybody. Also the FPV drone does not use a phone with the controller. All visualization is done using the goggles.

If you can afford it, my recommendation is to buy the DJI Air 2S Fly More Combo with the Smart Controller rather than the standard controller. That way you won’t have to worry about a smart phone.
If not then the Air 2S + Fly More Combo with standard controller. A bit lower in cost would be the DJI Mini 2 Fly More Combo.
If you are able to wait a little longer the more expensive Mavic 3 is supposed to be released within the next few weeks.
You can buy from DJI direct, or from BestBuy, B&H, or Adorama. Fastest delivery would be via BestBuy or B&H.

the only problem is the 'cashback' can only be used at b&h. it's the
ultimate lock-in.
also, whoever came up with the name payboo needs to find alternate employment.
