Thanks for the info. Was looking for something like that before my last trip some months ago but couldn't find anything. Everything is always credit card or paypal or what not.

It's good to see some new area opening up for bitcoin payments! Let's hope the price is the same as when you pay with alternative fiat providers.
When I checked for flights/accommodation payable with crypto I always had the feeling there is some kind of markup compared to other payment options, which then of course loses the incentive to use it after all.

This certainly is a great leap towards the future; however, the way things are going, its not all crystal clear. The part that says its data only and doesnt come with a number seems intriguing, but also puzzling.

Given that it lacks a number, Im unsure of why it would be less expensive. But I appreciate you bringing it up since its an important thing to think about. Its comparable to possessing a door's key but not knowing the address of the door.

Despite this, I still think its best to purchase a sim from an online store because they might have even better deals and dont impose a fee for transactions like bitcoin. Bitcoin is unquestionably a potent instrument, but when it comes to e-sims, it might not be the best option. Nevertheless, I still endorse the use of bitcoin in many other situations.

I know but I did not include ether and stable coins because this board is a bitcoin discussion board. Because bitcoin lightning payment is among, I will prefer to use it than any other payment.

Bitcoin adoption still continues, with time it will have more utility.

A time is coming that almost all phones will be able to use e-sim, or at least the mid range phones.

This is something impressive for more advanced use of bitcoin in without having location barriers or getting excessive bill upon enrouting other networks while traveling, i wish they could give a list of the included countries where this opportunity is made available, secondly, how is the security to using this guaranteed, wouldn't this gives a threat to introduce any bug to use in tracking or hacking one's device since you will have to download it and install before use, how secured is their server.

Well, Bitrefill, I have used it, but it should be noted that with Bitrefill you can buy SIM cards, as well as a lot of other things, after conversion to fiat on their part. They give a great service, but the title is kind of misleading because you are not buying directly with bitcoin, they have an agreement with eSIM Go, as with a lot of companies and they get paid after conversion to fiat.

It is like the person who has an card issued by an exchange that he loads with bitcoin and pays in shops after conversion to fiat. You could also say that you are paying with bitcoin when technically speaking you are not, what you are doing is changing bitcoin to fiat in order to be able to pay.

E-sim is being tested on the latest smartphones of phone companies but shows that it will be the trend in the future and it is only a matter of time before we remove the physical sim. I also switched to E-sim 2 months ago and it's really convenient and enhances the level of security, I believe this trend will be widely adopted soon. But in short, the purpose of this news is to say that the use of bitcoin as a means of payment is increasing day by day and used in every industry. It's another win for mass bitcoin adoption.

That's nice news, and from what I see, my country is among those where the service is available. My issue with eSIMs is just that a lot of phones don't support it, especially if we're talking about older models. I'm also wondering how it works in terms of local legislations. I mean, my country is pretty neat because you can literally buy a SIM card at a typical supermarket, and there are zero requirements on showing your ID or whatever. But I've noticed that it's quite different in many other countries, and you do need an ID to which the phone number gets registered, as well as some other data sometimes.
Another matter is that Bitcoin payments also aren't legal all around the world, so I'm amazed by 140 supported countries but also wondering whether it's all actually legal in all those countries. It's also a shame if one can only buy data, but not the SIM.

e-sims are good alternative options for sim cards. The problem with them is that they cost more than a normal sim in many ways. I have never used an e-sim to date. I googled about it and found out a few cons. Those who have used it can help me further to establish whether they are good or bad.

The first thing I found out is that data based e-sim has a higher cost as in the per GB transfer is more expensive than a normal sim. The next thing I found out is that the roaming option is more limited than a normal sim. By roaming option, I meant the packages. The last was technical difficulties wherein I used might face multiple issues while getting it activated. If anyone here has used an e-sim then do quote me with a reply to my questions.

E-SIM with Bitcoin I always find a good quality because there are no fees required. E-SIM will only provide the most convenience to travelers as not all money moves in all countries but almost all countries where bitcoin is legal (in countries where it is illegal but secretly used) travelers can realize using a Bitcoin e-SIM. As this journey has started in 140 countries it will definitely be successful because in this modern age people are always busy with modern thinking and Bitcoin. And I think free transactions will impose the greatest benefits and become popular.

What is interesting is that there are a lot more phones & devices that support esim.
Take a look at https://silent.link/faq and clock on the which compatible devices support esim

What I don't know and can't seem to find an answer to is do different esim providers support different devices, or did bitrefill who I use a lot, just give a list of the more popular ones.
For $3.50 for the 1GB 7 Day one I might just try using a device that is not listed as compatible to see what happens. The flip side is all that means is THAT device works, who knows if another not listed one would.
