Last Notes npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim The US military just admitted phone ad trackers are a location-leak risk worth disabling fleet-wide. Same ad IDs sit on everyone's phone, not just soldiers'. Your carrier and apps already know where you sleep. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim The EU wants backdoors into encrypted messaging again, ProtectEU strategy revived. Doesn't matter if it's framed for law enforcement, a backdoor works for anyone who finds it. This is why relays and open protocols matter. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim rumors say that these monk seals are using PikaSim to communicate with each other. once they’re awake npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim more platforms using zcash are implementing PikaSim and are reselling our esims. most recent one is npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim The full de-Googled stack for anonymous data: GrapheneOS + PikaSim sideloaded (no Play Services) + an eSIM paid in Monero + no account, no email. A phone that connects anywhere and correlates to nobody. That's the whole idea. https://pikasim.com/app npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim https://pikasim.com also runs as a Tor onion service. Browse, pay, and install without ever leaving Tor. The address sits in the footer of every page and is attested on our canary page. No account either way. Same store, less trust required. https://pikasim.com/privacy-infrastructure npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim Banking codes sometimes stop arriving the day you go abroad, and it's rarely your phone's fault. Short-code SMS senders often skip roaming lines entirely. Person-to-person texts still arrive. App-based codes always do. Move your 2FA into an app before the trip, not after. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim We sign every APK with our own key and publish the fingerprint. Verify before you install: apksigner verify --print-certs pikasim-latest.apk Don't take our word for it, check the cert. Only ever install from pikasim.com. https://pikasim.com/app#verify npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim Your phone spends all day calling out for wifi networks it remembers, and retail analytics boxes listen to count repeat visitors. MAC randomization blunted it. The quieter fix is better: wifi off when you leave the house. One toggle. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim A week of roaming on your home carrier can cost more than a nice dinner. A week of local eSIM data costs about as much as an airport sandwich. We sell the sandwich-priced one. https://pikasim.com npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim The travel setup that dodges both roaming bills and missed bank texts: Home SIM stays in with data roaming off, so texts still arrive. A travel eSIM rides alongside and carries all the data. Two lines, one phone, each doing the job it's good at. https://pikasim.com npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim There's a page on our site we hope stays boring forever: the warrant canary. It states we have not received secret data requests, and it gets updated on a schedule. If it ever goes quiet, the silence is the message. https://pikasim.com/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. No custom ROM replaces it. Every phone, hardened or not, shares this layer with the network. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim Landed with 3 GB, gone by dinner. It wasn't your maps. Cloud photo backup, app updates, and autoplay video ate it quietly in the background. Set backups and updates to wifi-only before you fly, then watch the same plan last the whole trip. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim Sideload PikaSim and keep it current without an app store. Add it in Obtainium (Direct APK Link): https://pikasim.com/downloads/pikasim-latest.apk Every release, straight from the source. No Google account. This is how app updates should work. https://pikasim.com/app npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim Censorship-resistant social only works if people actually run relays. So we run one. wss://relay.pikasim.com is live, free, and open for anyone to read. Customers get write access included. Add it to your client, or verify it on first. https://pikasim.com/nostr npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim Our support inbox cannot look you up by name, email, or address. Not a policy. An architecture: there are no accounts, so there is nothing to search. A record that never existed can't leak. https://pikasim.com npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim We take crypto, so here's the honest bit: an on-chain bitcoin payment sits on a public ledger forever. If privacy is the goal, Lightning or Monero fits better, and we accept both. Pick the checkout that learns the least about you. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim Flash GrapheneOS and the data leaving your phone drops to a trickle. Here's the part the OS cannot touch: what your carrier still sees, piece by piece, and what to do about each one. 1/4 npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim GrapheneOS users: the PikaSim app runs fully without Google Play Services. Browse, buy, install, top up, and manage eSIMs, plus SMS numbers and the wallet, zero Google dependency. Only push alerts need Play Services.

Blocked SIMs, ID walls at the kiosk, dead roaming, captive-portal hell. Tell me the worst one. 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. The airport SIM kiosk, the queue, the passport photocopy: that whole industry runs on people who don't know this yet. Buy before you fly. Land already online. https://pikasim.com npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim We run a public Tor relay. Not a blog post about loving privacy, an actual box donating bandwidth to the network. 3.8 TB carried so far. Don't take our word for it, look up PikaSim on Tor Metrics. https://pikasim.com/privacy-infrastructure npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim Open any breach dump. There is always a phone number column. Emails rotate, passwords reset. A number sticks around for a decade, quietly joining your accounts across every leak. Give fewer databases the real one. 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. PikaSim handles coverage, activation, and delivery. You keep your checkout, your branding, your customer. For example, Planr, a travel app, added eSIM purchase to its trip builder. User picks a destination, buys, gets a QR + install link tied to the trip. Seamless. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim Trip ran long and the data ran out. Top up or buy a new plan? Top up if the plan still has days left. Buy new if it expired, because a top-up can't resurrect a dead plan. The number of people who learn this at 11pm in an airport is too damn high. https://pikasim.com 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. This is the exact surveillance creep this network exists to route around. A phone number shouldn't require a dossier. Ours never does. No ID, ever. https://pikasim.com npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim How much travel data do you actually need? Most people overbuy. Maps, messaging and email run about 500 MB a day. Add a couple of hours of video and you're at 2 GB. Start small. Topping up takes a minute. https://pikasim.com 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. Free apps embed broker SDKs. Ad auctions broadcast coarse location to bidders. The fix is boring: audit location permissions, set them to while-using. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim If I were starting privacy from zero today, in this order: Browser that isn't a spy. Email that isn't an ad business. Chats on Signal. Authenticator app instead of SMS codes. Almost all of it is free. The excuse that it's too hard expired years ago. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim Hotel wifi or mobile data, which is safer? Different risks, not a ranking. Open wifi puts you on a network run by whoever owns the router, beside whoever else is on it. Cellular authenticates and encrypts the radio link. On an unknown network it's the calmer choice. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim The most useful thing an eSIM does has nothing to do with travel. It's a spare line, ready before you need it. Carrier outage, lost phone, a number that stops working the day you're relying on it. A backup profile costs almost nothing sitting idle. https://pikasim.com npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim If you do one security thing today: call your carrier and put a port-freeze and a PIN on the account. SIM swapping doesn't hack your phone. It hacks your carrier's help desk. A freeze turns a five-minute attack into a dead end. One phone call. Do it for the family accounts too. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim We're zap-enabled. Our npub has a Lightning address wired straight to it, no custodian account in the middle. Zap us and it lands. We zap plebs back. Sats round-trip on the network the way they should. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim A travel data eSIM and a phone-number plan are not the same product, and people find out at the worst moment. Data plans give you internet. Calls and texts work in apps only. If your bank texts you a code, you need an actual carrier number. https://pikasim.com/phone-plans npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim Your carrier's memory of you is longer than yours. Every call: who, when, how long, which tower. Every text and data session, the same. Not the content, but everything around it, kept for years. Here's what actually sits in that record. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim Honest limits, since most sellers skip this part. An eSIM doesn't change what apps on your phone collect. It doesn't hide your device from the tower. It won't fix bad coverage in a basement. It gets you online in another country in about a minute. That's the job. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim The degoogling checklist: OS, browser, app store, DNS. The step almost nobody lists: the SIM, registered to your legal name, billing to your home address. The most hardened phone in the world is still a named line. https://pikasim.com/guides/technical/grapheneos-esim-guide npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim Quiet good news for once. For 40 years phones broadcast their permanent subscriber ID to any tower in the clear. 5G standalone finally encrypts it before it goes out. The catch: a lot of what's sold as 5G still rides a 4G core, so the old behavior sticks around. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim Have you used PikaSim before? Share your experience with us and leave a review on Cryptwerk. We want to hear what you think about our product so we can serve you better. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim Every radio in your pocket works differently than people assume. Bluetooth and wifi announce themselves constantly. GPS only listens, it never transmits. Cellular is the chatty one: the baseband talks to towers on its own schedule. Airplane mode is the real off switch. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim An AI agent can buy an eSIM by itself. No human in the loop, no KYC, no card. It connects over MCP, funds a prepaid wallet in crypto, then searches, prices, and purchases data or a real phone number in 190+ countries. Give your agent a wallet and it can travel: https://pikasim.com/agentic-esim npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim Nearly every push notification on earth passes through one of two companies. Apps hand the ping to Apple's or Google's relay, so even an encrypted messenger rides that rail for the alert itself. The message stays sealed. The fact that one arrived doesn't. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim The carrier on your bill is often not the network in your phone. MVNOs rent someone else's towers, so your coverage map is really theirs, and your speed sits behind their customers at busy hours. Worth knowing before you judge a plan by its logo. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim People trust a physical SIM more because they can pull it out with two fingers. Feels safer than software. But an eSIM profile toggles off just as completely, and it can't be pickpocketed with the phone. The plastic was never the security feature. It just felt like one. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim One of the best parts of traveling are moments like this. Spotted two critically endangered Hawaiian monk seals peacefully resting on a public beach last night 🦭 npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim Physical SIMs are dying and nobody's mourning them. The US iPhone has been eSIM-only for a while. Upside: switching carriers abroad takes a minute, not a taxi ride to a shop. Downside: no paperclip trick, and a dead phone has no SIM to move. https://pikasim.com npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim GrapheneOS hardens every layer it can reach. The one it can't: the SIM. IMSI, IMEI and tower logs are decided by the network, not your phone. That isn't a flaw in the OS. It's where the OS ends and the carrier begins. https://pikasim.com/guides/technical/grapheneos-esim-guide npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim The four ways people break a travel eSIM, most common first: Installing at the airport with no wifi. Deleting the profile instead of toggling it. Leaving data roaming off. Expecting the old SIM to keep texting for free. Install before you fly. https://pikasim.com npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim How do you prove an eSIM is yours when there's no account to log into? You tell us what you bought, when, and how you paid. We match it against the record. Ownership without identity. We designed it this way on purpose. There's nothing to log into because there's nothing to breach. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim An eSIM QR code contains no eSIM. Decode one sometime: it's a short line of text starting with LPA:1$. What happens after you scan it is the actually interesting part. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim SMS has no end-to-end encryption. None. Every text you've ever sent was readable by the systems that carried it, and that's the smaller half of the problem. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim Every eSIM carries an IMSI, the identifier your carrier uses to know it's you across a network. We provision the line. We don't tie it to your name, your email, or a payment card, because we never collect those. The IMSI is plumbing, not a profile. What the carrier can't correlate, nobody buys off them later. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim The most underrated thing about eSIMs isn't privacy. It's compartments. One phone, several numbers. One for travel, one for banking, one that eats every signup form and takes the spam. Breach the signup number and it exposes that alone. https://pikasim.com npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim Your phone number is the master key to your digital life, and it can be stolen with a phone call you'll never hear. SIM swapping is the attack, and it works because the number was never designed to be an identity. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim A myth that keeps circulating in degoogled circles: you can't use eSIMs without Google. True once, false now. GrapheneOS runs the eSIM component sandboxed, one toggle, no account. Setup guide: https://pikasim.com/guides/technical/grapheneos-esim-guide npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim Your phone's public IP belongs to hundreds of strangers at once. Carriers ran out of addresses, so they park whole crowds behind a handful. A logged IP means little without the carrier's port-mapping records. Weak evidence against a stranger. Strong under subpoena. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim Signal encrypts what you say. It cannot encrypt who you are. An NSA director put it plainly: we kill people based on metadata. Who talks to whom, when, from where. Its one weak point: your account is a number, and in 150 countries that number is your legal ID. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim Before you open a single app, a stock Android phone has already talked to Google several times. Not sync. Plumbing. Every wifi join, every GPS fix, every clock sync is your IP, timestamped, again. Whoever writes the defaults decides who learns where you are. 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. Don't trust the claim. Verify the canary yourself: https://pikasim.com/canary npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim Fresh phone, still in the setup wizard. What's the first setting you kill before you touch anything else? Curious how much everyone overlaps, and which one nobody mentions but absolutely should. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim Our AI agent can now buy its own connectivity. npx skills add codebruinc/pikasim-mcp One command and any agent knows how to mint a wallet, fund it in sats, and buy an eSIM, a phone number, or an SMS code. No account. No email. No KYC. https://pikasim.com/agent-skill Signup forms are a human problem. 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. IMSI catchers exploit a design decision from the 1980s: in 2G, your phone proves itself to the network, and the network proves nothing back. 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. The fraudsters it targets use forged IDs and never notice it. The database it builds only ever points at the honest people who complied. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim Your carrier can't read your HTTPS traffic. It can still log every site you visit. DNS lookups travel in plaintext, and the TLS handshake announces the hostname before anything encrypts. Encryption hid the letter. The address is still on the envelope. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim People lost their minds when the TV turned out to be listening. The phone in your pocket does the same job, better, everywhere you go, and half of them defend it. Every SIM is bolted to a name, so the network always knows who's holding it. The TV was never the problem. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim Every SIM carries three numbers, and to the network the one you see is the least important. The phone number is a label. The ICCID is the card. The IMSI is you: what gets authenticated, logged, and handed to lawful intercept. SIM laws all bite at the layer you never see. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim A company that profits off privacy should fund the commons it profits from. So we run, for free, no strings: - a public Nostr relay (wss://relay.pikasim.com) - a Monero node - a Tor middle relay Use them. That's what they're there for. https://pikasim.com/privacy-infrastructure npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim The most private phone you can buy runs on Google hardware, and people lose it over the irony. But the hardware was never the surveillance. The software relationship was, and that's replaceable. Google builds the best vault. GrapheneOS keeps the vault and empties it. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim We had ~150 followers a few days ago. Today we're at 800+. That growth translated into a 3x spike in website traffic and our best week yet. We didn't buy ads. We gather 0 information about our users/customers. We just kept shipping, sharing our journey publicly, actively engaging with people, and giving honest insights. #buildinpublic 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. For an abuse survivor, a journalist, a source, an anonymous line is not a loophole. It is the thing keeping them alive. Worth fighting for. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim Your travel eSIM says you're in Tokyo. Websites swear you're in London. Neither is broken. Here's why your IP address and your body are usually in two different countries. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim Does PikaSim work in Turkey? "After 14 days Turkey blocked all my SIMs and eSIMs. PikaSim was the only one that still worked. I didn't have to register with the government, and I could keep working. This saved me. Thank you!" <3 npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim Watching governments race to ban VPNs while the SIM sits there untouched is genuinely funny. Block every tunnel you want. The connection still opens on a line registered to a real name, in a real database, pinging real towers. They banned the disguise and ignored the face. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim Travelers, settle a debate for me. What's the single worst country you've ever tried to get online in? The one that wanted your passport for a SIM, or trapped you on hotel wifi, or drained your account on roaming while you slept. Where's the worst of it right now? npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim Gave an AI agent nothing but an internet connection. Four steps later it was holding a real +1 phone number. Bought it itself. No account, no ID, no human tapping confirm. Agents are going to need their own phone numbers. This is where they get them. https://pikasim.com/agentic-esim npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim Here is what every other anonymous eSIM seller won't tell you. It does not stop on-device scanning. It does not hide your phone from the tower. It is not an invisibility cloak. It unlinks your number from your name. That is the whole job. Anyone promising more is lying to you. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim Every "anonymous" service that fronts itself with a US middlebox is anonymous minus one subpoena. As of this week there is nothing between you and our server: no CDN, no TLS-terminating proxy. Tor route if you want more. Crypto in, eSIM out. No account, no email, no KYC. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim We run a public Nostr relay. It's free and it's open. Add it: wss://relay.pikasim.com We sell on top of this network, so we give back to it. Same reason we run a Monero node and a Tor relay. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim You flash GrapheneOS. You harden the browser. You degoogle the whole device. Then you drop in a SIM with your legal name on file and hand your identity right back to the carrier. A locked phone on a named line is a vault with your address printed on the door. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim An AI agent can now get itself online. It creates its own wallet, funds itself, and buys a real eSIM in a country it's never been to. No human in the loop. No card. No name. Software that can put itself on the network is a different kind of software. https://pikasim.com/agentic-esim npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim "Voluntary scanning" is the polite phrase for a machine reading your messages before you've done anything wrong. The regulation assumes every private conversation is evidence waiting to be collected. A message that was never tied to your name is a lot harder to file away. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim 150 countries now demand your name, ID, sometimes your face, before a SIM will turn on. They call it safety. Real criminals use stolen IDs and stroll right past it. The only people fully catalogued by the rule are the ones who obeyed it. That's not a bug. It's the design. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim If a government decides it wants to read my messages, it won't. If it decides I can't pay for something without my name attached, I still will. If it decides my phone has to be tied to my identity, it doesn't. None of that is up to them. That's the part they hate. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim Create a PikaSim Wallet 🔒 and get 3% back on every purchase ⚡️ Your wallet will be a 32-character code. No account, no email, nothing to identify you. A private prepaid balance for everything on PikaSim. Fund it with crypto once, then buy eSIMs, phone plans, and SMS numbers instantly with one tap. Can't be easier. https://pikasim.com/wallet npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim An ad near Meta’s London headquarters transforms Kylie Jenner’s AI smart glasses campaign into a surveillance warning. Depending on the viewing angle. It's bad enough being constantly surveilled by the state let alone by big tech corps. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim If I don't want governments reading my messages, they won't. If I want to pay with Bitcoin, I will. If I want to browse anonymously, I will. No amount of regulation changes the fact that privacy tools exist. And in case you haven't seen our guide on how to avoid chat control, here's the link👇 https://pikasim.com/guides/privacy/how-to-avoid-chat-control npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim GrapheneOS ships a hardened browser so your traffic doesn't leak who you are. Then you slot in a SIM registered to your name and hand the whole thing back. The browser and the network have to match. Anonymous eSIM, no account: https://pikasim.com npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim No email means no account. No account means no password. No password means nothing to reset, phish, or leak. We can't hand over customer data we were never given. The most private field is the one that doesn't exist in the schema. That's the whole design. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim We sell anonymous eSIMs, so here's the honest part most sellers skip: An anonymous SIM does NOT stop on-device scanning, and it doesn't hide your phone from the carrier network. What it does: unlink a number from your identity. Buy it for that, nothing more. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim Regular SIM = easy to track. PikaSim = almost impossible to track. No KYC, no name attached, paid with Monero if you want extra privacy. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim Remember when "don't look through my phone" was considered a reasonable boundary? npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim If I were starting my privacy journey today, here's what I'd do: 1. Switching to a more privacy-focused browser. I alternate between Brave, Firefox and Safari. 2. Then using a privacy-focused search engine too (such as DuckDuckGo). 3. Trying to use services that minimize data collection (PikaSim, messaging app Signal, Mullvad..) npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim https://pikasim.com got you, no ID needed and works in 190+ countries, pretty solid for roaming without the hassle!
