Saily/SIM thoughts (lemmy.world)

Has anyone tried Saily? (https://saily.com/) It claims to be an app to easily setup international eSIMs.

I am curious about its setup process and the information they collect. Can you sign up without the app? How about the app on a separate user profile (android)? Do they require ID to signup (or similar)?

It is a part of NordVPN, which gives some confidence that it is not a scam, however Nord doesn't have a good reputation for privacy, but neither do SIM's in general.

Is it worth bothering with anything like Saily for travel, or does the tried and true pre-paid SIM's?

Why don't you get one of the anonymous esims from kycnot.me ?

There is no such thing as a fully anonymous sim/esim even if you buy without identity, the physical phone itself has to login to the cell network and it's very trackable.

Well, of course, if you put it in the same phone that you used with your real name, it's not anonymous. If you use it from your home, you're not anonymous. Cellular networks aren't built for privacy. But that was not the question here.

These sim cards don't require any identity verification or app installation and can be paid for anonymously.
