Is a Nokia phone the key to privacy?

No, you fucking retard. Get a PinePhone if you're a slave to technology, or just learn to live without a cell phone. We did fine without them for about 29,970 years or so.

i think about doing this constantly, bump.
I really want to not just for privacy sake but so that I can focus on what I am doing and not be distracted.

It feels great in my ass on vibrate.
It's like an electromechanical bar of soap up my ass that doesn't burn and make me fart bubbles.

This. If you can take the battery out you are good.

How about setting meetings over phone and discusing Minecraft tactics in private?

Does it has anything to do with your tax? Not at all, you still pay your portion

2g/3g towers have been shut down as of Feb 2022. It's over. Flip phones nowadays all come with some sort of GPS tracker that is enabled whether you like it or not.

>take the battery out
this kek.
I remeber in middle school someone stole a cell phone and the Pricinal mande and annoucement that they would have the phone carrier send out a singal to turn on the phone but like how would they do that if the battery is dead or the battery is out kek

They ping the network.

but will it work with the battery out?

As far as tracking goes, it doesn't do jack shit, as mentioned by other anons.
But you don't have to worry about your phone being hacked remotely.
I would go for something more obscure than Nokia, though.

A lot of phones have an additional internal battery cell separate from the main battery. It's mostly used for keeping time while the phone is off, similar to the RTC on your computer's motherboard that's powered by a CR2032, but on some phones it's still running low-power O/S functions as well, such as keeping track of your alarms, so that it can power your phone back up automatically whenever an alarm you've set is supposed to go off.

That said, unless you're the engineer who designed the phone that you're using, there's no way of knowing when or how that extra internal battery is being used, or what it's being used for. Anyone engaging in clandestine activities should simply not trust phones. At all. If you have information that you do not want to be communicated, carrying a COMMUNICATION DEVICE around with you is the most retarded and antithetical thing you could do. It's like smearing yourself in honey before you go outside even though you're afraid of bees.

No

I tried this a few years back with my n900, almost no coverage and unusable.

>A lot of phones have an additional internal battery cell separate from the main battery.
thank you user for this detailed explanation.

"Activating airplane mode will fully disable the cellular radio transmit and receive capabilities, which will prevent your phone from being reached from the cellular network and stop your carrier (and anyone impersonating them to you) from tracking the device via the cellular radio. The baseband implements other functionality such as Wi-Fi and GPS functionality, but each of these components is separately sandboxed on the baseband and independent of each other."

I had an Alcatel the last 4 years. 3G is discontinued and most old bricks don't have the ability to have service anymore. My next step is to not have one at all. Even a shifty $179 2016 Motorola Smartphone is too much for me. Cellphones should have stopped at the Blackberry or Razr

>so that it can power your phone back up automatically whenever an alarm you've set is supposed to go off.
never happened
smartphones are called smart from intelligence because its syping device because you cant remove the battery and it has gps tracking so it tracks you all the time
old tech phones are gone with battery removed
they also update hour through signal
mine has time reseted everytime i put battery back in

Nice info and ultimatly you are right.

Don't take a microphone with a GPS tracking and hearing you everywere you go.

Yes

Just put the phone into a faraday cage bag

or just, you know, don't use a phone at all?
ask yourself when was the last time you genuinely needed to use a phone?

I walked into phone shop the other day and bought a simcard without any paperwork and no ID. If you don't mind topping up your number with cash everyone month or so, then that's about as private as it gets.
