They are pretty recent, so no reputation yet. You can pay woth monero, and they got a .onion site. Prices are really good, except for the eSIM with sms & calls. IP from UK, and apparently theyre from Berlin.

Any thoughts?

What are the prices like? These esims are often legal so thats explains the high availability. I am not a lawyer.

It depends on the country. I’m looking into a plan with 10gb for 30 days, priced at $13usd.

Theres only one plan for calls & sms, which is $80usd/month. I wonder why so expensive.

Demand of criminals/journalists/activists/curious\ people seem to dictate the price. Think of a repressive regime hunting down the opposition. They track every phone via cell tower handshakes and map out individuals using “metadata”.

With calls and SMS you can login/register on apps/services and when doing so “reset” towards a fresh profile if done right. That’s a new dot on the map. With internet you can only access these services.

That’s just my guess though.

This just explains why the +Calls & SMS plans are necessary (avoid local networks that track everything and are backdoors). I think the high price may be due to high cost of calling infrastructure or access to functional numbers?
