It's getting to the point where I'm going to turn off my phone and put it in a Faraday cage until I absolutely need it for something.
No, sorry. All smartphones will have an anti cage lock, built in. This is to stop child slavery, you see? Incidentally, all vehicles will also count as cages unless you enroll yours in a 'verified safe-box' program. Only $20 per year and an ID scan.
I used to work with this scientist lady and she kept her phone in a Faraday cage she had made from a cereal box and foil. It was very sweet.
Turn on airplane mode if you do this. Otherwise, it destroys battery life as the phone uses full power to search for a signal
