Agreed, silent.link can get pretty pricey depending on where you're visiting.
I prefer using https://www.airalo.com especially if I'm going somewhere for a week or more. You can purchase without providing them any kyc info and the pricing has been really reasonable the handful of times I've used it!

I see, nice prices indeed but not payable with Lightning (or layer 1).

That is true. You could always use a bitrefill gift card you bought with lightning if you really wanted to!

I do. Silent.link only in my case, for travel. Unfortunately according to the country it can get pretty expensive, like more than $100 for 1GB. But I think it might be more a problem with the local telecommunication market.
But for many countries the pricing is correct and paying $5 to use a map online can be very helpful in case of emergency.
Also, at least for silent.link, the support is good in case a problem occurred.
One more advantage of silent.link is the data we buy does not have an expiry date so we can buy for $5 of data and use it in case of emergency even after not using it for a long time.
