GrapheneOS always considers the network to be hostile. Merely getting a silent SMS is + not a good indicator of being targeted by your cell carrier, police or government + because anyone on the cell network can send them. Cellular triangulation will + happen regardless of whether or not SMS texts are being sent or recieved by the phone, + and they don't have to even be a silent SMS; it wouldn't be much different than + recieving an unsolicited spam SMS!
+ +Activating airplane mode will fully disable the cellular radio transmit and recieve + capabilities, which will prevent your phone from being reached from the cellular + network and stop your carrier (and anyone impersonating them to you) from tracking the + device via the cell network. On currently supported devices, the code for Wi-Fi and + cellular radios is separately sandboxed, and while airplane mode is on, the phone may + still be connected and used on WiFi. MAC Addresses on Wi-Fi are randomized.
