Given how fuzzily the government interprets the law as it stands
(given their repeated and consistent claims that DRIP does not extend
RIPA) I wouldn't want to make any assumptions other than "your
location will always be recorded and made available to the government".

If you really want to remain anonymous/unlocated, use VoIP or simpler
still, use a burner SIM paid for in cash.

IANAL, of course, but that'd be my assessment of this and other 'edge
cases'.
