I’m literally selling one with the same data for $3 (which I initially bought for $8). Tongue
Is this offer coming with phone number included or it's only for internet data traffic?

Only internet data, AFAIK. That’s what I bought it for before realizing my iPhone doesn’t support esim because it was 2 physical sim slots (I believe it’s a Chinese market version). Tongue

You probably heard about Biterfill offering eSims before. This service does just that, the only difference is that this one seems to offer virtual numbers as well.
It's silly to KYC yourself on Binance for this...
Bitrefill or Binance are not the only services that offer eSims, I saw silent.link is also accepting BTC and LN payments, and I think there are more similar services on kycnot.me website.
One thing I am not 100% sure f there is any way to use eSIM cards on deg00gled phones or not.

Which BitRefill page you checked?
None. I wasn’t talking about Bitrefill, but OP’s recently found “another service” (eSimWay).

Mine is still 3x cheaper tho. Cheesy

So when you buy an eSIM, it's completely digital right? As in, no card for you to put anywhere.

Then how do you switch between different eSIMs on your devices?
It's digital indeed.
There's a list of esim cards, just like with regular sim cards if your phone has more than one. I can select one esim at a time.

Update: I googled it, and the first thing I found was lifetime eSim for €2.50, to be soldered inside a device. This is very scary, it will create a whole new level of attacks. Imagine replacing someone's hardware wallet with a fake device with esim that instantly broadcasts the PIN. Air gapped devices will need a faraday cage to be sure.

I believe you can coat or wrap the device in aluminium foil to prevent the WiFi and cellular signals from being broadcasted, thus preventing this type of vulnerability or *any* internet/NFC/Bluetooth access from the device, for that matter. QR codes will still work of course.

I recently got a free eSim, from RedBull. It's valid for a year in many countries. There are more services offering free trials, and since they compete worldwide, I'm hoping many more will offer free trials in the coming years.
The bad thing is most free eSims require installing an app.

I don't really need it though, as long as I'm inside EU I have enough data in my plan. I see a bigger market for GPS trackers using eSim.

Extremely expensive.

$33 for 5gb valid for 30 days on Europe? I’m literally selling one with the same data for $3 (which I initially bought for $8). Tongue

Better to get in touch with me and I’ll pay with my CC in exchange for BTC. Save yourself $20+.

I came across it through Binance's merchants page[1] and while searching I found that they also have an announcement thread here[2] so I just want to hear some of your thoughts about it if you've used it already.
