This will not help too much.Either you're not in the network or network should 
be aware about your location.When someone calls you, network have to select a 
proper Base Station to enroute call to your mobile, don't you think so?If 
network has no idea where you are, there is no place to route call.Call fails 
with "subscriber is not available, blah-blah-blah" message.Simple?;).Surely all 
this can be (ab)used.But I see no any realistic way how to avoid this 
completely.At very most, it is possible to relax things a bit but you can't 
avoid tracking completely because this means network is unable to route 
incoming calls to your phone.

So...
- If you're just an average Joe, relax and enjoy by your 'democracy'.Total 
control.Sounds so democratic, isn't it?That's how democracy works, after all :P
- If you're an IT pro and really willing to do something unfair, you're 
probably know how to avoid this dumb issue anyway ;)
