I agree with randomhodler84. Get rid of your phone. However, there might be singular reasons to have one. For example, Stripe will only allow you to be a client if you have a mobile phone, and I have run into this with other companies as well. If you absolutely need one, there is a very inexpensive way of doing this. Don't buy an expensive phone for "privacy" (who knows if they are actually hackproof?) For these unique cases, you get an inexpensive Android phone that you can remove the battery from, and you store the phone in a Faraday bag: (https://www.amazon.com/s?k=faraday+bags https://www.amazon.com/s?k=faraday+bags). Faraday bags completely block any connection with any electromagnetic signals: (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday_cage https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday_cage). Test the Faraday bag and see if it works by trying to call your mobile device while it is in the bag from another phone. And see if you can call another phone from your device while it is in the Faraday bag (call and then quickly put the bag into the back, or just dial the number and put it in the bag and hit where the send button should be). You only take out the mobile phone in rare instances where you need to absolutely have it, when required to get financial or banking services or whatever you need in those very rare instances. But other than that, you take out the battery, put it in the Faraday bag, and put it somewhere out of reach, just leave it in one spot, and when you have to use it, use it in the same spot, so that the big companies only see you in one place. By the way, I see the tracking of your every movement as WAY more egregious, because that does it every second of your life. And then selling your every movement too others. Searching your phone is nasty too. But for me, emails are way rarer than tracking my every move, every second of the day. So I don't have a mobile phone. I just use my VOIP, and if someone wants to reach me, they leave a SMS or voice mail, just like in the olden days. I am not on instant beck and call to no man or woman. You don't like it, you say? Fine, adios. Not my problem. You have a company and won't hire someone without a mobile phone? Just fine with me, guess I'm not working for you, then. I don't care if you give me a free phone - rejected.
