That latest report on mass location surveillance using SS7 makes me want to try a test. I’ll enable airplane mode and VoLTE, and see how calls and messages perform when only using VPN over WiFi. If that works reasonably well then the next step is to us a mobile hotspot for the WiFi.In the end my SS7 location would always show the geolocated IP address of where the VPN terminates. Does that sound about right #Privacy #DefCon #Phreaks

@lexinova The SIM in the hotspot would be some random sim not associated with you so they wouldn’t know what to track.What I’m most interested in is with this set up what does my location appear as?

    @thedarktangent the same as your phone because : not change as an "unassociated sim" is illegal in nearly all our country, and in practice impossible to have as it always have record to link it to you (even if more or less difficult to find depending on how you buy it), and it's quite easy for any people that have this kind of network access to reassociate it to you after the fact.And even there the fact you enable vo WIFI will leak your original sim imsi via internet.Here the thing to know it's "impossible" to fix or protect yourself with client side fix only.
