Doesn't your phone ping off the tower regularely anyway? I've always understood that without a physical switch to the antenna there's no way to actually know

- kornhole 4y agoYes that was my caveat about the proprietary baseband modem that we cannot totally control. If I was in a different threat model category, I would use a phone with physical switch to the baseband. Those devices like Pinephone and Librem that only run Linux are not quite mature enough to fit my needs. They may be my next choice.
- dmbche 4y agoVery cool! I looked into it a little bit, a good option depending on your threat model is to simply leave it in a faraday container (read: aluminum foil envelope - or the more sophisticated stuff) when you don't want it to be visible. But then, you kind of have to let go of having that phone usable at home at all, and end up having a "dirty" and a "clean" phone. Then again, just useful depending on your threat model.
