If you want to go incognito/off grid for a time you can:
1) Leave the cell phone at home
2) Buy a box of Pedigree Dentastix (stay with me for a second)
Give the Dentastix to your best 4 legged friend, but keep the bag they are packaged in.
Put your phone in airplane mode.
Put the phone in the Dentastix plastic/foil bag.
I dont know why Predigree packages their Dentastix in a plastic/foil bag, which happens to be a nice flexible faraday bag, but i was doing an RF test and needed to isolate a device from outside signals, puppy wanted a treat, A + B = faraday cage.
To prove that it works, place your phone (not in airplane mode) in the bag and seal.
Call you cell phone. Yep, the phone does not ring, and the caller gets the "The phone you are trying to reach is out of network" message.
If you are going to have the phone in an faraday bag for any amount of time, put it in airplane mode. If you dont have it in airplane mode, your battery will drain quickly as the phone tries to find a network.
Now if I could just solve that false RF signaling issue.....
