You don’t have to carry a smartphone with you. I use an iPod Touch, but could drop it if I thought that was being tagged. Get an anonymizer proxy service, and a wifi device is less trackable, and can be bought anonymously.
You do have to give up smartphone convenience.
“Get an anonymizer proxy service”
That, a private email service, Linux on the Desktop and Private browsing and your good to go.
But the proxy service and private email are the most important. Its amazing how few people know this.
Cost is about 100+/year.
That is about as safe as you can get and still use the Internet.
