................snip Solution might depend on purpose.
If you want to prevent your own mobile phone from doing anything 2G/3G/wifi/bluetooth, you can put it in airplane mode. Is that not sufficient? From the particular to the general: 1/ I have an ancient NextG ZTE phone selected for it's extended coverage when TELSTRA closed the CDMA network; I am almost certain 'airplane mode' is not an available option.When for example I am in a hurry to avoid the embarrassment of having the opening bars of the 'William Tell Overture'( aka the Lone Ranger theme)...my ring-tone; play I 'boot the phone down'. That way I am certain it won't ring. Unfortunately booting it up is comparable in duration to booting up that other OS on a slow 386 cpu. 2/ As to why I persevere with such obsolete technology; partly laziness I have learned all it's quirks and partly stinginess ! I kept the analogue till they closed down analogue; the same with CDMA; if the phone breaks or NextG folds; I may try something else ! regards Rohan McLeod
