    Why does a phone need to be in a ferriday bag when phone does not have a SIM card because it uses web-based VoIP service? The phone only needs an internet connection, like wi-fi, and can’t talk to cell towers. Remove SIM from phone, connect phone to wi-fi to get online to access phone service through the internet, GPS can’t function. If a phone without SIM calls 911, it will go through, but dispatch sees no number, no location, no name.

      • any carrier within range can still potentially track you, maybe not with airplane mode but Snowden says don’t trust that

      • GPS still “works” without any signal, service or net access

      • AGPS mandate forces 911 calls to reveal your location

      For max privacy without going completely analog you’d want a device with NO cellular radio at all

        You have way too much time of doing nothing of significance and fill it with meaningless chatter. Spend more expanding job skills and still listening to so many inexperienced opinions.
