Yea cell networks are big bottleneck/threat for tracking, I think burners with 2/3g will reduce accuracy and can easily be switched off by removing battery. Also maybe lower accuracy (?). Problem remains that # are still required for a lot of things day to day.
Elon says he's going off telcom, I don't see how that's realistic for 99% of people tbh
Do you know if a smartphone, say <5 years old, without SIM card, can still be targeted / tracked? Does it still send / receive packets, my guess is yes because you can make emergency calls but I haven't tested.
Does SimpleX use decentralized/federated servers. If signal would allow that (which they absolutely won't) it would be great. Plenty of messenger apps, problem (and a major one) is to get people on them.
