I have 0 "smart" devices in my home. Or the car. Whoever gets those is a consumerist idiot. I don't even have a smart phone, which arguably can be helpful sometimes, but meh. I've seen enough people stuck on their fucking phones on buses and trains. It's utterly pathetic. And I wonder, do I want to depend on such a device? No. That's why I have a Nokia brick phone. The next one I buy will have a longer battery life, because this damn thing only lasts a few days and is dead more often than not.

You'd be better off getting a Google Pixel and installing grapheneos on it. You are probably less secure using that Nokia as all calls you make and any messages you send are unencrypted whereas you could be using signal/session/whatever for those things.

I highly doubt he's stupid enough to talk about anything sensitive on the phone. But I understand the sentiment.

I barely use my phone anyways. If I wanted to do things that shouldn't be traced back to me, I would buy those sim cards that aren't connected to anything. Everything serious I'd talk about either personally or via internet where I do use applications that have encryption, or are with people I trust.

If you'd just be swapping SIM/eSIM, remember that the IMEI number would be registered to the SIM when you connect to mobile network. You'd have to use a phone you never used for a card registered to you.

Oh interesting. So I'd have to use a separate burner phone too.

Yes, and even then if someone really wanted to they'd be able to locate you based on which cell tower you are connected to.
