You might get a dumb phone, which is also useful if you are stopped by LE. No service needed, and you can call 911 without a plan.

No apps, no passwords, emails, messages, or data to incriminate you. Only necessary calls.

Perhaps a web search might uncover info. My notion is "I can't be the first to have this problem" and that is almost always true, especially among the reddit users out there.

Good luck finding similar cases and a cure.
