Side note, leave the burner in a Faraday bag when it’s going to be near your daily driver.

Faraday bags do not work with modern phones anymore, specifically 5G

Faraday bags work, period, if they are made and used properly. If there’s no RF getting in or out, there’s no GPS and no checking in with the towers. Inertial navigation doesn’t work worth a damn after a little while, and it won’t work at all when powered down. Obviously? black tape over the camera lenses unless you’re ready to share what they’re seeing, and the microphones can listen very well too, it is a phone after all, so bear that in mind.

Burner means non Smartphone with a fresh anonymous sim. Its not easy to get but important enough to “jump the hoops”
