I have just two phones, a smartphone for work, and an old dumb one for friends and family. Using those, I am entirely unremarkable.
I have occasionally used burner phones. Except when in use, I would remove the batteries and store them in an old steel paint can, with a charger. In the back of my vehicle, with tools. I never opened the can unless I was a few hundred km from my home and work. Supposedly on camping/fishing trips, and I lied about where I was going. Using an old vehicle, and keeping to back roads.

You might or might not be remarkable but even if what you do is of no interest to the NSA, they know a lot about you and you are not doing enough if you are trying to avoid the NSA net.
