What did I miss ???
I have been using silent.link for a very long time and love it. Also look at PGPP by INVISIV for enhanced data privacy with rotating IMSI as well. All depends on your threat model and what you're trying to achieve.
They're having a massive outage right now...
big outage today
Who?
Verizon is suffering a major outage affecting subscribers across the US.
Can someone tell me how silent.link works? I dont really get the US plus plan. And then I assume the data plus is just a "pay as you go" data only esim?
Good call.
Not a Verizon customer anymore but still using their towers with another service. Thx for the reminder of these tools.

Why so many service outages lately?
I see what you did there
I am enjoying the quiet
No political texts!
I think I saw @Ava, could have been someone else saying that there was an issue with silent link and 2fa. I could be wrong

silent.link is awesome
FUCK Jack
Ah, I haven't used it directly for 2FA as I generally try to always use hardware keys. I use other numbers for dedicated 2FA i.e. banking and what not but I had used silent link in the past with X for 2FA, not sure that still works though, it's been a year or two.
Worth reading “how and types of info we collect” section 3 & 4 on their website: hushed.com/privacy-policy before giving them $$
I could be wrong hopefully @Ava will chime in and clarify

No email necessary, no proof of identity, and an open source encryption module.
THE ABILITY TO SWITCH BETWEEN CELL PROVIDERS ON DEMAND USING SILENT LINK IS FUCKING AWESOME.
ONCE YOU TRY IT THERE IS NO GOING BACK.
leaving a major carrier and switching to silent.link gives a real, experiential example of what a bitcoin economic ecosystem can be like. i mean you can pay your internet bill with nostr zaps. 🤷
You'd be stupid not to use a VPN (at all times).
oh ..and a fake name but that goes without saying...otherwise stick to Verizon.
Are you actually leaving major carriers though?
Dialled in
So far, I have found that both PayPal and Meta use a phone number verification that rejects not only jmp.chat (XMPP) Jabber numbers (which is to be expected) but also silent.link inbound US IDENTITY numbers.
Using silent.link for two-factor authentication (2FA) is the main reason to have this eSIM, in addition to the Data Only eSIM plan.
And before you say, "Well, I don't use PayPal or Meta, so who cares?" - I'm betting it won't be long before other companies, banks, etc. start using a similar verification system.
So, unfortunately, I no longer see silent.link as a reliable option for ditching your local mobile provider completely for 2FA.

You are not punk Jack.
aw. widdle Matt and his semantics🙂
so adorbs 🥰
Wut r you even talking about?
I’m on Spectrum (not to be confused with autism) and need to lower my bill, what is your recommendation?
Ah, the dipshit's way of brushing off being confronted for saying something that isn't true.
aw buddy dont cry.
ask mommy for a juice box and a pat on your angry little bottom.
then bring up carrier semantics again later. ❤️ everyone would just LOVE to hear about it. 🙂
🤗
Omg I forgot about this ✨
Glad I could remind you

A privacy.com card and $5 Hello Mobile plan would make a decent secondary line.
Seems like a good feature for on demand situations for sure... Otherwise for regular monthly service it seems too expensive of a service imo.
It's only the beginning.
silent.link is awesome. Thanks

I have a pixel phone with no physical sim. can I buy the silent.link esim and use it to make calls when I have no WiFi? If so, does it have to be on an app like signal and does the person I'm calling also have to have signal?
So you can receive calls and send and receive texts. So you can easily tie a signal account to it to make calls or a VoIP service. I think they’re releasing a new plan that will allow for outbound calls as well in the next month or so?
What happens to your number when you end the service?
I’m doing my best work 🪄🦄
Funny how it’s election season. It’s fine, our military can over ride their company and cause disruptions and no one will ever know about it.
