Bad advice.
Encryption on a smart phone is much better.
So they can see everyone you call and hear your whole conversation?
Yeah, in many countries that metadata targets your for assassination. Better to not use a dumb phone with no encryption.
If you use a Sim card on a smart phone, you're doing it wrong. Phone calls should be made (with e2ee) in Signal, Matrix, Wire, SimpleX, etc.
