Would using a "multiplexing" carrier like Google Fi (I don't know the real term for it) that can switch between several others at least reduce the value of this tracking?

You're not suggesting to use Google Fi to reduce tracking, right?

In any case, multiplexing wouldn't stop the tracking, and they might as well figure out just as much about you.

Had Google Fi when I moved to Germany from the US. They cut off my service because it wasn't allowed to live in Germany and use them.

Worked for a year then woke up day to have no phone number anymore and a completely rude support rep.

So, no. This isn't an option.

It'll reduce the value the high-level carrier derives at minimum.
