Is there a good way to get around location tracking without losing out on having a phone?
Even a feature phone would have location tracking from your cell service provider which I'm sure they would monetize because they can. Are there more privacy based cell providers that people could switch to? I know it's possible to make your own ISP for home internet but can that be done for cell phones too?
I primarily use a smartphone because my job makes me use one for VPN. If it was possible I wouldn't mind keeping a useless smartphone with no data plan sitting in a drawer at home and going back to a feature phone (especially one with a slide out keyboard :D).

I think it should be mentioned that part of the 5G-NR wireless standard includes a protection against IMSI catchers (Stingrays as they are commonly called).
