no it's more like: don’t have a smartphone and you are good (perhaps).

  No, having a dumb phone is not enough. A malicious actor can pretend they need to deliver an SMS to you, which may result in a network disclosing your location (anywhere in the world). Mobile networks probably don't honour aggressive probing for just about any peer but it's not like nobody can do this at scale. None of this is new.

    Dumb phones give up your location info just as smart phones do, but smart phones collect and leak a lot more data on top of your location.

    When Mallory sends an sms to my personal phone number, it goes to twilio. The location is always the same.
