Just removing the battery will do. Switching off alone is
insufficient. Another additional annoyance is randomly
changing IMEI (maybe with a grace period to allow
for some shift in location), and remixing IMSI from a
prepaid pool (labor-intensive, and limited).
Notice you can run Tor (e.g. ORBot) on your phone, so you
can uncouple your online activities from your physical
location.
