Completeness of protection, and usability tradeoffs for GrapheneOS

The best way to go about it is to simply enable airplane mode (which works properly on GrapheneOS) when possible and to use Wi-Fi. It’s very difficult for most people to never have access to data so I don’t think no SIM is a very practical approach. Just turn on data when you need it, but ideally not when on the move is my advice.

You can buy a non-KYC’d SIM as long as you recognise that still has significant limitations. As soon as you use it at home / at work it’s trivial to link to you, still marginally better than a KYC’d SIM though.
