    To turn off your phone’s geolocation, turn off your phone.

      Even if you turn off your phone, there is a lower-level operating system that is still connecting to cell phone towers. You either have to take the battery out, or leave your phone at home.

      Try doing a search for “baseband processor”.

        RF-blocking bags can also solve this problem.
