Just to repeat, your cell phone will ping nearby towers even when turned off (it’s never totally ‘off’). The only way to shut down your cell phone is to remove the battery. You can also put it in a special metal foil lined pouch (Faraday cage) that will prevent it from sending and receiving.
The cell phone is a classic example of a potentially wonderful technology that has turned into a nightmare.
A Faraday pouch will keep you from being tracked, but don’t buy one online, or you’ll have a target on your back. Make your own - or use a metal box.
