It’s a good habit to keep your phone on airplane mode when you can. It also saves on battery.

I’ve been inefficiently and lazily looking for something that can automatically turn the mobile network on and off again once per hour (or other period of time, potentially even randomized times). I have been turning my phone off every time I go to the grocer because I firsthand verified that they have BLE beacons in use.

+1 Phone on airplane mode (eliminates WiFi/BT cellular & GPS tracking) run physical mobile hotspot device for data (like Calyx hotspot - +2pts of you pick Moxee model to also run rayhunter) connect to hotspot over WiFi with random MAC addresses (effectively eliminates IMSI tracking) Enable a solid VPN. (Helps hide location and other usage) Use chat/text/phone apps over WiFi (eliminates carrier tracking) +5 for degoogled OS with profiles capability +3 for Firefox forks like Librewolf or Waterfox with Port Authority and Privacy Badger EDIT: btw the tech from the article is called SingleTrace…
