- clouddrover 8y agoI do have to be. Data is collected and retained not just by Google but by phone network operators, ISPs, and government agencies: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_retention https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_retention How do I turn that off?

- mirimir 8y agoThe only solution is to not use your smartphone as a telephone. Directly, anyway. Have a smartphone with no cellular account. Better yet, use a small tablet with no cellular modem. Then do VoIP via WiFi hotspots. And for anonymity, do it through nested VPN chains. I know, that's not a phone, really. But that's life, these days.
