In addition to disabling carrier data collection, I went through all the
default apps to turn off any permissions I didn't like.

In doing so, I noticed that the carrier diagnostics-collection application
*inherently* still showed it had innate permission to the phone's location.

By flipping the "location" switch from "on" to "off", I think I ensured
that the carrier wasn't checking in on my location from time to time via
its "system manager application":

*My question for Android users:*
Q: Do you turn off the carrier diagnostic data-collection software?

*My question for iOS users:*
Q: Do the carriers do the same data collection on iOS phones?
