there's only two ways you are preventing carrier/google/apple signals coming out of a phone and giving yourself away:

  1. its something like a pinephone that has no google/apple services running and you have a physical toggle to turn off bluetooth, wifi, data

  2. a faraday bag

Govts and corpos will use bluetooth and wifi mac addresses to ID and track people. luckily more and more devices are shipped with wifi mac randomization.
