- bitexploder 8y agoUS Cellular and Metro PCS maybe? Only two that spring to mind.
- kevin_thibedeau 8y agoA bit naive to believe that the soft power button or airplane mode disables periodic tower pings. A removable battery and shielded bag would be the minimum precaution.
- bitexploder 8y agoPhones wake up about every 30 minutes or so when "powered off". Explicitly to report loction and perform background chores. So you are right. Even the removable battery is suspect. A foil/metal lined bag does the trick. Or a chip bag: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.popularmechanics.com/technology/amp13953308/electrician-turned-chip-bag-into-faraday-cage/ https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.popularmechanics.com/techno...
