You don't need to leave the antenna unplugged as that could trigger detection or burn up the antenna signal amplifier. You can put a dummy load on the antenna connector instead,
nothing whatsoever will be able to detect it, and the radio hardware will never send or receive any signals.
- eru 6y agoWell, the software could have a deadman switch that locks up when they can't phone home for a while?
- tjoff 6y agoIt communicates with the charger, right? So the charger could just go online and refuse service. Don't fix shitty products. Don't buy them in the first place or we won't have anything nice left.
- londons_explore 6y ago> burn up the antenna signal amplifier No need for a dummy load. A cell modem that never received any signals never transmits.
- hated 6y agoUntrue, a cell modem can attempt an initialization sequence and you would never know about it.
