Downvoted? Why? I'm curious to know.

I'm by no means an expert, but how is it the phone can still make emergency calls if it has zero contact with the network if it's simless? Seems like a solution that isn't actually one, especially if you consider stuff like IMIE numbers.

And I'm sure if I could be bothered to look into this solution I would be right.

Plus most tracking and privacy violations work just as well if not better via WiFi.

It might also be the YouTube link

Probably because of the YouTube link. I will try to post a more private alternative next time.

She puts a sim card in another phone that's used as a hotspot. The title suggests she doesn't use a sim.
