@thedarktangent they will still track you, because it's not your phone they track but your sim.So if you move your sim to an hotspot, you move the problem and they will track the hotspot instead.

@thedarktangent probably related technical details pointed out on July, basically legacy hardware and mis-masking:cybersecuritynews.com/ss7-bypa

@thedarktangent I'm curious to know what your results end up being. I know using speedtest behind a VPN will cause your exit geolocation to change due to polling the phone's gps.

@thedarktangent Maybe I'm not understanding their technology, but I thought that they use SS7 protocol to get cell tower data to track you. So, if you are using Wi-Fi only, and have all cell services off, then they won't see your true location. I didn't see anything about geolocation of IP addresses. For fun, you could even get a burner phone, use it as a mobile hotspot and leave your phone off except for Wi-Fi, and still use a VPN. Then you have wireless mobility. Or maybe an eSIM?

@thedarktangent In case this throws off your testing - from what I understand the IPSec tunnel that enables VoWiFi bypasses your phone's VPN settings if you have the VPN configured on the device (at least on Android).

@thedarktangent they will still track you, because it's not your phone they track but your sim.So if you move your sim to an hotspot, you move the problem and they will track the hotspot instead.also Wi‑Fi‑calling can leak the same IMSI over the internet, so you will remain trackable.And disabling 2G, 3G, or 4G on the client side will do nothing as it's a vulnerability in the ISP core network.As such it will remain.The only FIX is to disable everything brefore 5G (Stand alone) and use 5G stand alone.As 5G NSA (Non Stand Alone), use 4G control model that is vulnerable too.and as i said previously, the hotspot itself will be tracked anyway in your "test"

@thedarktangent very interesting to hear from Phreaking experts. No pure crypto-phones, eh?
