Won't help. It gets the information from the telco provider, and does not require GPS or any other fancy hardware.

It helps in the sense that it's difficult/impossible to browse the web on dumbphones, so they won't get your IP in the first place.

Might as well keep the iPhone and turn off mobile data and wifi.

Not true. If you refill using a credit card then they collect the info at that time. I use T-Mobile prepaid and they have all my info except my name.
