    Unless you physically remove the entire SIM module from your phone, this is not solvable. I have a degoogled phone too, but as long as you use a SIM card, you are being tracked.

      You aren’t being tracked by Google. Also cell tower tracking is much harder than just querying a GPS service.

        Thats true but im not sure if i have more trust in the cops than google. The requests for cell location data are instantly waved through usually.
