My thoughts:
- It is still a MVNO so all that juicy location and traffic data will be available to the actual carriers and governments.
- That pricing is a complete rip off.
- Calyx themself literally offers a $500/year truly unlimited SIM, meanwhile Phrelli’s $1,020/year plan is capped to 40GB a month.
- Visible has a stellar $25/month plan that is also truly unlimited, but hotspot is capped at 5Mbps. They take fake address & name without issue.
- And the continued silence on the coup of Calyx is highly concerning.
My advice:
- Use Wi-Fi where possible.
- Always use Mullvad or Tor.
- If you do use a SIM card give them minimal information and keep it in airplane mode when possible.
- Use a VOIP service for phone number that is detached from SIM.
- Also please be aware that many hotspot devices are highly insecure and often years behind security patches.
