If you want further clarification this is actually true:
Airplane mode on phones turn the cellular radio off completely but having a SIM would still let you use over-IP carrier services like WiFi Callng. Send an SMS to yourself when you have Airplane mode on, you will receive it.
Just not having a SIM isn't enough, you need to have both no SIM and airplane mode because it will broadcast to allow calling 911.
The new Pixel Tablet has no cellular radio if you want to completely avoid it.
about the tablet, that's great to know!

Thanks for that detail. I used your info too! I think I credited everybody.

No problem! I also am working on an article but would love to see how yours comes up. Please post here when done

Mine is pretty basic. Maybe I'll put mine aside if yours is comprehensive. You have the knowledge to go way more in depth in this area than I do. I'll wait.

I'd still publish it. Mine will likely be explaining the OS' changes and threat model rather than you explaining your switch.
I don't know when I'd finish it either - currently on other projects.

Okay. There probably won't be much overlap then.
