In the wake of this spring's Senate ruling nixing FCC privacy regulations imposed on ISPs, you may be (even more) worried about how your data is used, misused, and abused. There have been a lot of opinions on this topic since, ranging from "the sky is falling" to "move along, citizen, nothing to see here." The fact is, ISPs tend to be pretty unscrupulous, sometimes even ruthless, about how they gather and use their customers' data. You may not be sure how it's a problem if your ISP gives advertisers more info to serve ads you'd like to see—but what about when your ISP literally edits your HTTP traffic, inserting more ads and possibly breaking webpages?
With a Congress that has demonstrated its lack of interest in protecting you from your ISP, and ISPs that have repeatedly demonstrated a "whatever-we-can-get-away-with" attitude toward customers' data privacy and integrity, it may be time to look into how to get your data out from under your ISP's prying eyes and grubby fingers intact. To do that, you'll need a VPN.

Look at what leet haxxors do to stay out of jail.
Maybe get one of these chinese sms spam devices (search for "bulk sms"), that allow you to use 32 sim cards and change the IMEI on the fly?

Maybe try to classify your activities in categories, and only use secure comms for things where it is critical that you won't be identified? Maybe have more then one identity, and have several phones, none of them bought by you? And not turn them all on at same time, obviously.
Normal, everyday people cannot hope to compete with people who design this stuff, and it is exactly why they keep designing it that way. If you want to outsmart them, you have to become them, i'm afraid. :(
