This is something I’ve been thinking about for a while. I’ve decided to get a Pixel with GrapheneOS as my next phone and I’m trying to decide the pros and cons of putting a SIM card in it. Convenience vs privacy, public wifi with a VPN vs using phone data, etc.
I can’t get a SIM card where I live without ID and I’m looking to reduce being tracked as much as possible. Does anyone else do the same thing?
I have a Pixel 7a with GOS in airplane mode, with WiFi only. My old phone with the sim inserted is on Lineage OS and hasn’t fully (has a case of occasional ghost touch) died yet. I only use the old phone for cellular telephony.
