    I’m beginning to think that my next phone will be a (relatively) dumb phone that can do bluetooth + wifi tethering to a small linux tablet.

      It’s hard to find even a flip phone that doesn’t have a GPS antenna that you aren’t allowed to shut off.

          Yea I get that. But we control the things we can. The cell signal is pretty far out of reach to try and control.

          We used to have phones without a gps chip in them at all, we don’t even get that choice anymore. That’s the point I was trying to make by my comment.

      Some tablets and laptops have a SIM-slot, which makes it possible to use a dataSIM. Then it has access to internet independent of your phone.
