Replicant may not be able to do much to guard against such attacks,
but what YOU can do as a user is Just Say No to smartphones and go
back to using a classic non-smart GSM cellular telephone handset.

Go to ebay and grab a Motorola C139, then reflash it with firmware
which you yourself compile from source:

When you build the entire firmware yourself from source (there is no
separate baseband in dumbphones like Mot C139), you can security-audit
it yourself (or hire someone of your choosing) and fix any bugs that
might allow over-the-air takeover of code execution.
