But you're being tracked in ways you don't even know about. I bought Cheezits at the store last week. Got home, Cheezits ads. Safeway is selling your purchasing data - and very quickly.
But the phone is easy. It has an off switch. I know someone who says to get a cheap pair of wired earbuds that has talk capability with a phone, and keep it plugged in, but break the mic. Claims it stops the phone from eavesdropping.
I will never understand why they send you ads for shit you just bought. I don’t need it now, I just bought one. I bought an electric kettle and then started getting ads for electric kettles. I only need one.
Dunno. Not my wheelhouse - but my experience with marketers and sales is...they're not always the sharpest knives in the drawer. Brand reinforcement, maybe?
Way ahead of you, and if you're really motivated, set up a Google phone number for those things.
I've stupidly given my number out in the past, so the damage is done, but now I'm way more careful. You want my phone number or email, you gotta earn it. And you're getting my old disconnected land line or my google mail that I never use, in most cases.
Turn it off.

They require a text code entered. How do you get around that?
google voice has a desktop interface you can read messages at
Damn...now I want Cheezits.
