That is a point, could someone even do that on something classed as a phone though? Don’t most places have some kind of law about these devices always being able to reach emergency services like 911?
It’s mandated that the service be available without charge (no SIM needed), but I don’t think there’s any regulations on the user disabling cell access themselves.
Maybe, wouldn’t something like a Faraday bag work though? Then you don’t even run the risk of someone trying to twist the meaning of whatever regulation might exist to try to charge you with something.
I’d want a hw kill switch for the modem/receivers so that I can take it with me to protests.
The pinephone has this, but unfortunately the phone itself is more of a tinker toy than a daily driver
