Every phone provider has a log of the IMEI binding to cell tower and triangulation over multiple towers. Call logs are one thing, carrier cell connect and disconnect is another.

Basically, any privacy nut with a phone and simcard is in denial.

Someone concerned about piracy could just keep their phone in a faraday cage case and take it out only when needed, no?
