just discovered it in the last couple weeks and now i shill silent link anytime i get the opportunity, great service
It sounds too good to be true... A sim that can be purchased anonymously and used anywhere... What am I missing here? Cellular service is inherently tied to physical infrastructure - I'd expect governments to make use of that fact. It's much easier to enforce than KYC.

I was thinking about the same, I have always been suspicious about eSIM phones.
How can anybody tell if this is not a honeypot?? That will be a fair place to start, maybe they are legit but I don't know...

So, honeypot was my first thought. On the other hand, if you're only using data and not voice/sms, and everything is end-to-end encrypted, what can they really find out about you, other than your physical location?
