Avoid NSO......easy, but somewhat "old school"....(see "burner phone")
1. Buy a mobile which is not a smart phone (say a 3G feature phone).
2. Go to a convenience store and buy a pay-as-you-go SIM for cash (say Lebara)
3. Go to a different convenience store and buy lots of minutes for cash.
4. Register the SIM and the minutes in a public place, a place not usually associated with the rest of your life.
5. Have the phone switched off most of the time.
6. Only switch the phone on in a public place, and only for long enough to make calls or respond to text or voicemail.
7. Persuade people close to you to follow steps #1 through #7.

This process (pretty much) guarantees that ANYONE snooping on your phone traffic has NO IDEA about your identity.

Of course, if your social network includes individuals who are not very careful, then your mileage will vary. But of course, you can always start again at item #1.....!!!!!
