    234 - Silent Link: Anonymous eSIM Service

    Gabriel Custodiet speaks with the admin of Silent Link, a privacy-first mobile service that operates entirely without KYC. The admin explains how foreign eSIMs keep you in permanent roaming mode, making it significantly harder for local carriers and adversaries to track your location or intercept your communications. They discuss the surveillance risks of traditional phone service—from SIM toolkit attacks to voice fingerprinting—and why paying in Bitcoin, Lightning, or Monero is crucial for severing identity and phone number. The admin also addresses the service's limitations: no outgoing calls or texts, the impossibility of true phone number ownership, and why this is still a massive improvement over anything Verizon or AT&T will ever offer you.
