    Separate dongle for internet using a hotspot can help. No system is perfect but Linux phone is an excellent first step

      You miss my meaning. All the servers that your info passes through, all the cell towers, etc, can and in many cases do track you(even as just routine loggings). Thinking that running anything makes you more secure while connecting to a giant public network is naive.
