Yes, that's what I'm talking about. Even tho you delete everything (accounts, data etc.) you are still left with several insidious ways any company can track you. Eg. you can delete anything from your phone and even reinstall the system from groundup but you will still be tracked based on the hardware configuration...

Sure.

Consider buying a cheap feature phone. Keep it turned off as much as possible. Avoid SMS as much as possible. Use other methods for calling. (Perhaps Wire…?)

Aso, consider if all this trouble is really worth it. IMHO, it’s not. YMMV.

I'm curious, why should one avoid SMS? It's the ultimate tech that's not owned by any single entity.
