#2 I just power off the Samsung Android Smartphone until needed.

An use my old ITSEC safe Motorola Flip Phones ($25) bought at Dollar General for use on certain client site.

Cloning/Duping/Auto-forwarding the same # number isn't that hard. 😇... In fact, it was a widespread hack in 1990-2010

#7 You can turn it off or put it in a Faraday cage at night but it's doing that stuff in the daytime too. I don't have any social media apps on my phone but I wouldn't want to bet that some of these dubious activities aren't happening anyway. There is a whole lotta crap on that phone that I don't need, never use and have no idea what it might be doing.
