  With the SIM completely turned off, maybe. But it’s still a bad idea.

    Yup. It’s a bit of a question of how paranoid are you/you feel you need to be but it may be worth keeping in mind that the baseband modem of any phone is proprietary and runs its own unaudited software the end user has no control over or insight into.

      No need to be paranoid, IMEI/IMSI are built into the protocols. Phone networks were never built with anonymity in mind
