This is more sinister than it sounds. I currently don't have a cellphone for this very reason. I was able in the past to make hardware and software changes to cellphone to greatly reduce the tracking ability of service providers. One of the problems is that once you start roaming your service gets shut down and in some cases the phone is locked because the next guys don't make enough money from you. It is a jungle out there and really the solutions are cost and time consuming. I don't believe slavers can be reformed under the current conditions. These people are descendants of Sugar and Cotton slavers. Maybe somebody can explain to me why a Sugar Slaver is called a Sugar Baron.
