Well so that eliminates a lot of stuff from being tracked, but I certainly wouldn't consider anything said on them to be secure. Something like Signal voice call is probably still better in this regard.
Unfortunately I ordered a set online during a remodel and failed to notice the WiFi symbol. I don’t have internet hooked up at this house yet, but I think they can automatically tap into the Spectrum signals all around me.
Only option would be to mess with hardware and maybe fudge the antenna (if there is one) so it won't work. If the whole wifi bit is disabled/removed, there may very well be a killswitch built to kill the whole device (thus forcing it's presence).
I think Landline only. Even flip phoens are compromised.

Yes I agree. Anything sensitive will be said in person, away from smart TV's, smart thermostats, computers, cellphones, and landlines
Good luck these days finding a place that's free of all smart devices outside of a SCIF.
I don't know about everyone else, but I certainly can't afford to maintain my own personal SCIF.
LOL Bro I have 20 acres. MY SCIF is outside of my house with no electronics nearby.
And “smart” laundry machines too dammit😒
