When you connect to cellphone towers: You’re using the modem which has an IMEI identification number. Using a DeGoogled phone and a VPN does NOT change this from revealing info about the hardware TO the TOWER, such as where it was bought. And who bought it.

If you buy it in Monero, that solves the problem. But other DeGoogled providers charge more, while as we charge LESS:

Official Google Store: $799

Simplified Privacy: $665

YOU PICK: We Flash GrapheneOS OR you can get it still sealed in the box.

PIXEL 9 BRAND NEW STILL SEALED IN THE BOX 1 YEAR WARRANTY

You're correct about that being an issue, there's 3 responses:

First, the person can flip to airplane mode in their home. It's possible to be actively targeted by an attack, but this is unlikely if you're a random IMEI

second, the person could be renting through a friend or cash via landlord. or in a highly populated city

third, if you're that concerned, then do hotspots or GLiNET with external sim, and then the person would want to avoid the main phone in their name anyway, to avoid the attacks mentioned in the first one

Your mitigations can work, but they rely on the user being perfect and never making a mistake at home, which is a gamble they will eventually lose.
