Last Notes npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim Naomi Brockwell at NBTV does not have a SIM in her phone, which turns every routine phone number field into a small standoff. Her writeup on what to say and what to use instead is more practical than it sounds. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim Account recovery is the front door most people leave open. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim Something worth being precise about: GrapheneOS does not sandbox your modem. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim The ICCID is the serial number of the SIM profile itself, not your phone number and not your account. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim Every store that emails you a receipt has built a permanent list linking your identity to your purchases. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim Your VPN hides your traffic. It does nothing about the phone number tying every app back to your real name. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim Roaming into mainland China does something unexpected: your traffic exits at your home carrier core, outside the country. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim spotted myself in Mount Rainier national park, WA 🐹 npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim Our refund rules in plain terms, because vague policies are how stores avoid paying: npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim A second line only separates two lives if you let it. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim Most people buy roughly twice the travel data they use, because nobody knows what a gigabyte looks like in practice. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim The thing degoogled users report after their first sandboxed eSIM: it's boring. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim Not every phone that says eSIM actually supports eSIM. Regional variants differ, carrier-locked models differ, and some flagships shipped both ways in the same year. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim New eSIM installed, shows connected, no data moving. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim Whether buying a SIM requires your passport depends entirely on which border you just crossed. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim Airport wifi is less dangerous than it was in 2015. TLS covers most of what used to leak. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim Kauai Hawaii on @ricoh_gr_photography with local Nene #ricohgr #ricohmonochrome @ricoh_gr_us npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim Swapping SIMs does less than people think. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim Our warrant canary updated again this month, and it still says nothing happened. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim 25 years after the Patriot Act, mass surveillance is the default, not the exception. Your phone number is still the easiest way to find you. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim You can harden an Android phone until almost nothing leaves it. Your carrier's view barely changes. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim You degoogled the phone. Custom ROM, no Play Services, F-Droid only, DNS locked down. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim We run a Tor relay. Not as marketing, as rent. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim Signal is building zero knowledge proofs so you never need to hand over a phone number to sign up. Good. Phone numbers were never meant to be identity documents, they just became one by accident. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim A week of roaming on your home carrier can cost more than a nice dinner. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim There's a page on our site we hope stays boring forever: the warrant canary. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim Your phone is two computers. The one with your apps, and the baseband: its own processor, its own closed OS, talking to towers on its own schedule. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim Our support inbox cannot look you up by name, email, or address. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim We take crypto, so here's the honest bit: an on-chain bitcoin payment sits on a public ledger forever. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim GrapheneOS users: the PikaSim app runs fully without Google Play Services. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim Flora and fauna of Oahu npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim Nostriches who travel: what's the one country where you had the worst time getting online? npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim A cop allegedly used Flock's license-plate camera network to track and follow an ex-partner. Surveillance infrastructure doesn't discriminate between authorized use and abuse, it just logs everything and waits for someone with access. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim An eSIM installs from your couch over wifi and switches on when you land. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim We run a public Tor relay. Not a blog post about loving privacy, an actual box donating bandwidth to the network. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim Open any breach dump. There is always a phone number column. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim Thank you @MonericaProject for listing us npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim Have you ever used PikaSim? If so, please leave us a review. We appreciate⚡️ npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim Hello builders, you can sell eSIMs inside your own product. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim Trip ran long and the data ran out. Top up or buy a new plan? npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim Thank you for listing us @MoneroForum npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim 150+ countries now demand ID to activate a SIM. A few want a face scan. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim How much travel data do you actually need? Most people overbuy. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim Your location usually isn't stolen. Apps you agreed to collect it and pass it down a supply chain you've never seen. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim If I were starting privacy from zero today, in this order: npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim Hotel wifi or mobile data, which is safer? Different risks, not a ranking. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim The most useful thing an eSIM does has nothing to do with travel. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim If you do one security thing today: call your carrier and put a port-freeze and a PIN on the account. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim We're zap-enabled. Our npub has a Lightning address wired straight to it, no custodian account in the middle. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim A travel data eSIM and a phone-number plan are not the same product, and people find out at the worst moment. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim Your carrier's memory of you is longer than yours. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim Honest limits, since most sellers skip this part. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim The degoogling checklist: OS, browser, app store, DNS. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim An AI agent can buy an eSIM by itself. No human in the loop, no KYC, no card. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim The carrier on your bill is often not the network in your phone. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim People trust a physical SIM more because they can pull it out with two fingers. Feels safer than software. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim One of the best parts of traveling are moments like this. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim The four ways people break a travel eSIM, most common first: npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim How do you prove an eSIM is yours when there's no account to log into? npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim An eSIM QR code contains no eSIM. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim SMS has no end-to-end encryption. None. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim Every eSIM carries an IMSI, the identifier your carrier uses to know it's you across a network. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim The most underrated thing about eSIMs isn't privacy. It's compartments. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim A myth that keeps circulating in degoogled circles: you can't use eSIMs without Google. True once, false now. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim Your phone's public IP belongs to hundreds of strangers at once. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim Signal encrypts what you say. It cannot encrypt who you are. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim Before you open a single app, a stock Android phone has already talked to Google several times. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim We keep a warrant canary and we re-attest it by hand on a schedule. No automation touches it, because the whole point is that a human has to sign off that nothing changed. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim Fresh phone, still in the setup wizard. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim Our AI agent can now buy its own connectivity. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim Accepts Bitcoin" is doing a lot of heavy lifting in most eSIM ads. If they still want your email, verify your ID, and log your device, the crypto payment just launders a data trail into looking private. Real test: could you buy it and stay a stranger the whole way through? npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim There are fake cell towers in the wild, and your phone connects to them willingly. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim They want your name, address, government ID, and a backup number before your prepaid line switches on. The phrase is know your customer. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim Your carrier can't read your HTTPS traffic. It can still log every site you visit. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim People lost their minds when the TV turned out to be listening. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim Every SIM carries three numbers, and to the network the one you see is the least important. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim A company that profits off privacy should fund the commons it profits from. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim The most private phone you can buy runs on Google hardware, and people lose it over the irony. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim We had ~150 followers a few days ago. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim A phone line with no name on it used to be normal. It is being deleted quietly, one regulation at a time, while everyone is distracted. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim Your travel eSIM says you're in Tokyo. Websites swear you're in London. Neither is broken. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim Does PikaSim work in Turkey? npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim Watching governments race to ban VPNs while the SIM sits there untouched is genuinely funny. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim An AI agent can now get itself online. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim 150 countries now demand your name, ID, sometimes your face, before a SIM will turn on. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim Regular SIM = easy to track. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim 3 things to do this weekend, no tech skills needed: npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim most of the internet runs on people who never question the default stack (ISP, SIM, Google, etc) so a small group can build the infrastructure that makes anonymity possible for everyone else. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim The practical stack, in order of effort: npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim The quiet shift in "Chat Control" isn't scan-the-message. It's verify-the-identity: age checks by ID or face scan, tied to your accounts. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim PikaSim is attending @WebX_Asia in Tokyo npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim Reminder: anonymity is not just for criminals. You need to understand that protecting your identity online is a basic right. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim Probably the only empty street in Shinjuku npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim GrapheneOS hardens the device beautifully. But the moment you insert a KYC'd SIM, your carrier links every tower ping to your legal name. Threat model doesn't end at the OS. Anonymous eSIM, no ID: https://pikasim.com npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim 2 hours after a German signs up to your site, they've filed 3 GDPR requests and asked where you store your logs. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim "Chat Control" is two things, and the fear mixes them up. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim Reminder: anonymity is not just for criminals. You need to understand that protecting your identity online is a basic right. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim The center of gravity in "Chat Control" has quietly moved from scan-the-message to verify-the-identity. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim 2026 Privacy Tools: npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim We're on a mission to protect privacy by building a service with anonymous eSIM.
