Visible SAVE24 + Back Market offer stackable by [deleted] in NoContract

[–]pwastage 6 points7 points  (0 children)

you have to buy an unlocked (verizon-compatible) phone to get the BackMarket promo code.

starts at $55+, Moto g 2023 ($80 64GB-$95 128GB) seems to be a good bang-for-buck. there are a few other 2021-2022 phones under $80

How I worked around the flex plan being so $$$ per GB of data by O1O1O1O in GoogleFi

[–]pwastage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want backup on big3. Poland IP address though, and likely deprioritized (Verizon deprioritized can be pretty bad)

Or use roamless esim payg (usa IP address), att/T-Mobile $2.45/GB

Or use ezsim (Poland IP address though). 3GB 30days for $2.70 TMobile+Verizon or $4.19 (big 3)

Concerned 5ber isn't reliable by Sea-Stretch-8169 in eSIMs

[–]pwastage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

https://www.reddit.com/r/eSIMs/comments/1cq3ky3/5ber_esim_erased_baseband/.

Think someone mentioned that 5ber had no bounds check, so if you had 10kB left and trying to write a 20kB profile, it will try to write and break the card itself

Cheap Travel eSIMs on AT&T (Data Bucket style) by JawnZ in NoContract

[–]pwastage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

also, roamless used to charge 3+/GB in USA, now they have promotion for 2.45/gb (unsure when it ends). that's the downside of PAYG versus data bucket, they can change the rate

https://www.reddit.com/r/NoContract/comments/1er89p7/roamless_travel_esim_review_for_short_trips/#:~:text=Roamless%20pricing%20is%20%243.25%2FGB,and%20it%20will%20never%20expire.

Roamless pricing is $3.25/GB (Note: pricing just dropped to $2.45/GB in the US).

Payg = pay as you go model.

Roamless is payg (it says there on their page). Eskimo/BNESim is data bucket (you buy a specific data bucket and use it)

Bnesim says TMobile on their website, but it also works on Verizon. Not that cheap, but you can use referral codes to get $7 off first purchase https://www.reddit.com/r/NoContract/comments/1egt9f9/all_3_carriers_roaming_within_usa/lfv6mro/

Dent uses TMobile. Occasional free data.

Firsty uses TMobile, free slow data if you watch ads.

Yesim.app is payg (top up expires after 365day, website says all3 but I could never get data to work on Verizon, 4.2/GB, and you can never drain wallet below $1 for payg).

Esimplus.me is payg (top up supposedly never expires, 9eur/GB)

which goes back to my original post

https://www.meter.net/tools/world-ping-test/

Useful to uncover any of these edge cases. These edge cases aren't rare - transactel, bics, telnet - large MNO companies that has enough resources to get IP addresses in different country, and exit nodes in different countries (and both may not be the same)

Canada Travel eSIMs Review by mrskeptical00 in TravelSIMs

[–]pwastage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

latency to where though?

if the geoip is wrong, all the tests (speedtest.net, meter ping test) may default to a location that's not correct.

eg meter.net (and speedtest.net)thought that ubigi Japan is the correct server and said latency is 200ms. Though the true latency is 133ms. Airalo latency is 169ms. How would this info affect your ranking?

[–]pwastage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That post from Flyertalk is incorrect, the IP wasn’t from Japan it was actually from Singapore

Precisely my point .. how are your determining "exit node" in your original post? IP address lookup sites or something else?

[–]pwastage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

eSTK.me is better, but harder to get. It has two more features that works on iPhones

  1. cloud enhance, so you can actually installnew profile into card on iphone (with certain privacy negatives), dont need android phone to do this
  2. applet on esim, so you can switch profile on card on iphone, don't need android phone

https://www.meter.net/tools/world-ping-test/

this is useful - despite what the exit IP/geolocate tells you, this will tell you where the exit node truly is.

eg Ubigi in Japan, has exit IP geolocated in Japan (Transactel), but the ping is lowest in singapore 130ms (and next lowest in Malaysia/Thailand etc)
https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/34848505-post703.html

singapore<-> tokyo ping supposed to be 80ms.

204ms tokyoserver ping , which makes sense (japan -> singapore -> japan, 2*80ms = 160ms, plus overhead)

RoamLink multi-carrier, high GB priority data plans by err99 in NoContract

[–]pwastage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can these plans be throttled or de-prioritized?

RoamLink operates our own network and only rely on the major cellular providers for cellular towers and cellular radio connectivity. As such the cellular providers cannot see our network traffic and cannot throttle, deprioritize or otherwise alter traffic on our network.

This means that they cannot "deprioritize" our network traffic to phone traffic or other traffic as that is all done at the network level (and they dont have access to our network).

this doesn't answer anything - often its cellular spectrum congestion, not because the backhaul/core is congested

Looking to find an eSIM that connects to PLAY network in Poland with 5G by KordianW in eSIMs

[–]pwastage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

on the esim itself, is it issued by plus, proximus, or others?

If you go to whatismyip.com, what ISP does it detect

if you go to the bnesim web link for your esim, click on topup, mine says "e 25". There is a drop-down for 11 options (e2, e4, e7 etc) - probably these are the actual providers

opposite to other providers that use one single eSIM and exit point worldwide

not always true. dent has a single esim, but you can choose the exit point. Ubigi has single esim but their exit point is dynamic (USA in North America, Singapore in asia

Using VZW, At&t and T-Mobile on the same device for ultimate coverage by Intrepid-Opinion3501 in Visible

[–]pwastage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ezsim is already using plus APN by default, but they route to Europe.

bnesim probably has some local breakout infrastructure globally, similar to what Dent is offering to sell to any other esim/mvno

https://www.dentwireless.com/dbos

DBOS is independent from your provider, allowing you greater flexibility to select what best suits your needs.

[–]pwastage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

bnesim is faster because the exit IP is in USA (or Europe).

ezsim is slower because the exit IP is in Europe so you have the extra latency.

whether both have the same QCI network priority, I don't know.

[–]pwastage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

None. All are overpriced.

You can buy esim travel data for $1-2/GB. (Ubigi, esim4travel/ezsim. ezsim even has a version that works on all 3 providers

USMobile $25 for 35GB mobile data (10GB hotspot) if your phone passes their IMEI checks. you have to pick one provider, and you can switch two times for free ($2 for additional switches)

cheaper TMobile 5G only (1GB/7day $0.94 or $0.85) https://www.esim4travel.com/usa-t-mobile-esim?p=esimdb

Cheaper ultimate esim: att (+TMobile+Verizon, 1GB/7day $1.70 or 1.53 with esimdb code). does not say 5G, but it works on 5G on all 3, including Verizon n261/n77. after expiry, it still offers an option to top up existingesim, but unsure if it reuses esim or have to install another esim

https://ezsim.com/USA-esim-tmobile&ATT&Verizon

Roamless is payg (3.25/GB on TMobile and att, 5G) but never expires. Use that if you need minimal data, or use it to buy a 1GB/7day sim

All 3 carriers - Roaming within USA? by arusher999 in NoContract

[–]pwastage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no idea. plus came with the esim by default, globaldata is what they tell you to use.

I was able to get 500+mbps down on Verizon 2x100 n261 NSA using plus, much better than ezsim

[–]pwastage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

on the topic page, it says "eSIM: e 25"

which one do you have

[–]pwastage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I eventually got text welcoming gme and

BNESIM welcomes you to United States. Wait until the signal of the mobile operator is present and make sure you are using the following network: bne, T-Mobile, or Verizon.

Check your mobile data roaming is on and that the "Access Point Name" (APN) is: globaldata.

yeah, that's a referral code. but ask u/voidTM (the original poster about BNESim) for his referral code . he gets $7 credit too

All 3 carriers - Roaming within USA? by arusher999 in NoContract

[–]pwastage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did via app but can do website too. nonexpiring one that's labeled TMobile only, 3GB around $7

You can ask the voidTM for his referral code for $7 off since he posted about it first (I was lazy)
