Linking your ID card to a device that is permanently connected to the Internet, with satellite coverage, traceable even when turned off, and from which you cannot even remove the battery... what could possibly go wrong? image

If you're going to commit a crime, remember to leave your phone, smartwatch, and headphones at home. Also, find a blind spot where there are no cameras, change your clothes, and wear something that covers your face. Even then, it would be easy to track you down, so you should blend in with the crowd like a coinjoin so that your trail is lost somewhere where there are no cameras. Sounds dystopian, right? Well, it's the present. View quoted note →
You can live quite comfortable with no (e)sim and permanently in airplane mode. LAN goes a long way an should be preferred because it doesn't expose everybody to RF. But then WiFi, Bluetooth (bitchat) and Reticulum/Mesh can go a long way. An esim is perfect in case of an emergency. Else it's just a tracking tool. Relying on sim is already an anachronism.
Buy an international esim then that you can use everywhere including Germany. e.g. silentlink beyond others sell them for Monero

People will do it
Airplane mode does not stop tracking. Without (e)Sim (profile) still emergency calls possible. Kill switch for baseband only would help. #SS7
