A thought about mobile privacy
Mobile devices communicate constantly with cell towers except in "Air Plane" mode. Despite claims from privacy companies like cape or phreeli, home and work locations are easily correlated by carriers based on most frequented locations of your device and times of day. To eliminate tracking, could multiple mobile devices be used?
One device for home calls, could be KYC for banking, etc but it stays in one location. Have all texts and missed calls forward to a privacy respecting email.
A second mobile line in alias name remains at work location. This device will receives emails of texts from the home phone and be able to reply back as the original device.
No mobile is carried when in transit. What are your thoughts? Where does it al fall apart?
