I have my location turned off for everything and keep mine in a Faraday bag. That said, there was one tip in this article I wasn’t aware of: deleting my advertising ID, so everyone should read it and see if you can’t improve your own privacy.
It feels good when I have to use it and, for a moment it says “no service”, like kicking the tech assholes in the dick.
You won’t, it’s a conscious trade off. Some people never put a sim or esim in their phone and have a separate dumb phone for calls, or separate hotspot

Damn I had advertising id disabled ever since I had been using any online account
That’s good. I wasn’t even aware such a thing existed, but thankfully I know now.
Do you have a recommendation for a Faraday bag? I am looking to get a few.
Just that the cheap ones suck. I got a two-pack from Walmart and the first one I used started falling apart in weeks.
I’d get one handmade off Etsy. They’re a little pricier, but the less expensive ones are garbage.
If your phone is in a Faraday bag how would you get phone calls?
