Quick review of the #GigSky #esim service:

It's OK, but not great. Probably the most affordable place to get a lot of data, but you'll pay in mediocre performance.

The data connection drops a lot, even when I have full bars of 5G. We're talking anywhere between 10 seconds to a minute every 30 minutes or so.

Internet connectivity routes through the US regardless of me being in Europe, leading to average ping times over 200ms.

1. Doneer eSIMs: nog steeds de enige manier voor o.a  journalisten en hulpdiensten in Gaza om in contact te blijven: connecting-humanity.org/
Via crowdfund: Crips for eSIM: chuffed.org/project/crips-for- IEDER BEDRAG WELKOM.

2. Voor de verschrikkelijk hoge kosten om te overleven: doneer aan GoFundMe's of via gazafunds.com/, en deel ze. IEDER BEDRAG WELKOM.

3. Steun Palestijnse Mutual Aid groepen die directe hulp in Gaza geven: itsgoingdown.org/your-guide-on

4. Doe mee met Boycott, Divestment en Sanction: bdsnederland.nl/ Gebruik de app Boycat.

@adisonverlice even if an #MVNO isn't demanding any #KYC whatsoever (i.e. #prepaid are offered OTC in most juristictions) it's NOT "#Anonymous" but merely #pseudonymous as it's trivial for governments to utilize existing and mandtory "#LawfulInterception" appliances to create that #PII chain.

#PhoneNumber <=> #ICCID (#SIMcard) <=> #IMSI (SIM profile) <=> #IMEI (Phone/...).

So if #Anonymity is important, NONE of these details have to be linked somehow even circumstantial.

  • Bought/paid for the phone/SIM/ a single top-up with ec/CC/PayPal/SEPA/… = busted due to circumstantial connection.

  • Use the SIM in any device? Consider them circumstantially connected forever: #ICCID <=> #IMEI.

  • Same applies to #eSIM|s: #EID <=> #ICCID <=> #IMEI.

Add to the fact that most places have #CCTV, and assume that they'll keep recordings for the maximum permissible duration if not longer and oftentimes even use questionable cloud services and you get the picture.

  • I.e. in Germany the maximum permissible storage duration is 72 hours (if nothing hapoens that warrants a longer storage i.e. burglary/theft/robbery/arson/...) so anonymous top-ups would necessitate paying cash at a place one's not been known at (i.e. some kiosk) and waiting at least >72 hours (and checking on the purchase location) before redeeming the top-up code (i.e. dialing *104*1234567890123456# )...

So any #privacy-based service should never ever & under no circumstances demand a Phone Number!

  • Instead any privacy-focussed service should use #OnionServices, host their own #OnionService or at least #DontBlockTor and allow users to use it via @torproject / #Tor to use and signup. (But don't forget circumstantial connections there either!)

  • Also the less details they want or store and the least traffic they generate the harder it is to correlate traffic & users.

People in Gaza still need eSIMs!

"Connecting Humanity provide eSIMs to journalists, medical professionals, aid workers, families, people documenting the genocide and children and students who are all using eSIMs to stay connected with the world and each other."

You can also donate to fundraisers for eSIM:

Any amount welcome!

People who travel quite a bit, I'm looking at esim cards for my upcoming trip to France. I was advised two companies, Holafly and Ubigi. The first one would cost me 60 Euros for 22 days and the second one 4 Euros for 30 days!!! Sure, one is unlimited and not the other one, but still, that's a huge difference.

Am I missing something?
Do you have one or the other or a third one to advise?

Thanks in advance.

Edit: I found a few other services. I'll get back to you 🙂

First time I needed to use an eSIM being abroad and it is very cool and easy to set up.

After choosing a provider in Klook app, I payed, then clicked on activate and then my phone showed a screen to to add the eSIM. Then, I could configure which service (voice, data…) I want to route over which SIM. I bought it in Germany and deactivated it first.

Then, the plane landed and I switched it on and everything works.

Not all things in tech are bad :)
