I’ve gotten prepaid sims for things but obviously that’s not really a feasible method for your main life phone.

As long as you keep to FOSS apps that you KNOW are private (you can tell which ones call home), you should be OK. For example, Lemmy with a throwaway email address, Simplex for communications, Mull with a shitload of blocks, Orbot with RethinkDNS, and so on, you’re golden. Buy your phone in a different country, on Ebay with a throwaway account and a prepaid credit card.
There’s a lot you can do to remain truly anonymous.
Now, my threat model does not require me to go to those extents, but you get the point.
