id just stop using phones

If we're a assuming this is implemented by the OS, then a different OS. If implemented by a carrier, then I'd obfuscate my data through a VPN and possibly other tools. I'm already on a different OS and VPN so not much would change.

e: I guess a vpn wouldn't work if this was implemented by a carrier, but neither would a flipphone. At any rate, since the privacy community keeps coming out with tools, it would be a matter of time before a new workaround came out.

none

For the unaware, it was possible until now to get a smarrt phone in USA without showing any kind of ID. But that may be about to change. The current FCC wants to require companies to collect gov IDs for ppl to give them cell service.

International VoIP?

A lot of countries made it impossible to get a "burner" phone number. Check this source : https://prepaid-data-sim-card.fandom.com/wiki/Registration_Policies_Per_Country

Having thought about how I use my phone: pics, music, shopping list.

Replace the phone with a very thin pocket camera, a mp3 player, and a paper notebook.

Now if I can continues using my current GOS enabled Pixel. Remove my eSim and use public WiFi and/or SilentLink with SimpleX. Its been weeks since I made a phone call and I mostly keep VoIP active for Signal and medical appointments. I can use the landline for the medical stuff.

a fake ID. you can get them easily enough.

I wouldn't use a phone.

I'd maybe get a small laptop and go around with that instead. Also flip phone.

Move to a Linux phone for sure

It's anyway stupid, you need your ID for the contract with your ISP, means they anyway have your ID, in last years even with a prepaid phone.

I'd use a disconnected phone on wifi and download as much media as I could because eventually the internet simply wont be an option.

Probably a fake ID

Do you mean to make a phone call? Or to use the Internet?

I would probably just fake it.

You're going to have to vaguely doxx yourself here. There are plenty of places on this planet where you can't legally get a "burner" without providing ID.

Flip phone still has Android on it. There are no dumb phones.
