    Do you have a recommendation for a Faraday bag? I am looking to get a few.

      Just that the cheap ones suck. I got a two-pack from Walmart and the first one I used started falling apart in weeks.

      I’d get one handmade off Etsy. They’re a little pricier, but the less expensive ones are garbage.

      If your phone is in a Faraday bag how would you get phone calls?

        You won’t, it’s a conscious trade off. Some people never put a sim or esim in their phone and have a separate dumb phone for calls, or separate hotspot

        This vide explains the trade offs, reason, and approach of havjng a separate device for data: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RyirQOCUUK8

        And this guy shares his approach of not having a sim: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Dei2buz1X0
