Since most phones no longer have power-off, a faraday bag is needed to block all RF (cellular, wifi, bluetooth) radios on the phone from communicating with nearby radios.

This is sadly the case today. It will only change with greater participation of civil society in technology standard-setting, open-source "cyber" defense and security research.
In addition to reducing usage of untrustworthy phones and radio bands, reduce funding of untrustworthy telcos by subscribing via lower-cost prepaid MVNOs.
