Opting out of ATT seems like the most obvious no-brainer, but are there options for phone service that are actually halfway decent?

Or as an alternative, would it be feasible to get some kind of internet phone/texting service, use that over wifi, or maybe have a basic data plan to go with it at most?

Just use the phone number to register to a secure messaging service and remove the sim.

You can do it in a crowder place with no cameras

If a messaging service requires a phone number then it's not "secure" lol.
