Not just phone. All electronics. And your car, which also has a modem talking to every coms tower and GPS at all times.

Yup, pull the fuse on the onstar or use an e bike, motorcycle, etc

Yep. And be careful which ebike or motorcycle.

I know I can completely disable--deenergize from the fuse box--my car's "SOS" modem, but that isn't possible on all cars. Mine is also like 10 years old and I imagine it's getting harder and harder. (It being 10 years old also means there aren't many 3G towers left around for it to talk to, but I'm not taking any chances.)
