Fürs @kuketzblog will ich mal Anbieter und Lösungen vergleichen, um sich regelmäßig, günstig und komfortabel mit einer #Wegwerf-Mobilnummer (#SIM oder #eSIM) zu versorgen.

- Maximal 20€, besser <=5€ pro Monat
- Nummernwechsel ohne erneuten ID-Nachweis.

Aktuell habe ich nur Spezial-/Profidienste im Rennen (seven.io, Sipgate, etravelsim.com). Die meisten Prepaid-Anbieter bieten wohl keinen bequemen Nummernwechsel-/Zubuchung, höchstens per Hotline und teuer.

Habt ihr Tipps?

Какая-то непонятная ситуация происходит: на номера +7910... (МТС - бывший "Скайлинк") и +7905... ("Билайн", но с +7905... "Теле2" пока всё хорошо), кажется перестали приходить SMS-коды зарубежных мессенджеров. Вчера знакомый из Рязани тестировал корпоративные SIM, будучи в Москве на работе.
Началось с того, что хотел себе на номер +7910... пробовал ставить #Signal Messenger (мануал в txt: u.to/eQk3Ig ) и когда ничего не получилось, начал проверять все #SIM, что было в офисе. Не хотелось бы никого пугать, но если имеете тел.номер на +7910... (МТС) и +7905... ("Билайн"), то проверить бы как там ставятся с нуля зарубежные мессенджеры, требующие активации через SMS-код. Наверное мало для кого секрет, но #WhatsApp с нуля регистрируется только с включенным VPN (по крайней мере, много где в РФ) - только тогда его сервер(а) получают Инет-запрос и отправляется SMS-код на телефон.
Информация требует проверки, но по-моему обозначается направление, как хотят бороться с запрещёнными зарубежными сервисами. По правде, давно такие мысли посещали и, наверное, не меня одного, чего они банят домены, когда можно просто перекрыть приход сомнительных #SMS , и вот, возможно, началось.
Не знал, стоит ли публиковать такую информацию, может это случайно так совпало, а может и нет.

"Biggest threat": EU Council leaders want to ban anonymous SIM cards.

The Polish Council Presidency has proposed new EU regulations on mandatory registration of prepaid SIM cards.

This is provided for in a draft by the Polish Presidency of the EU Council of Ministers, as reported by the British civil rights organisation Statewatch.

♻️: Polski rząd zaproponował nowe przepisy UE zakazujące anonimowego zakupu kart SIM. 📱 🥸

Jest to kolejna próba wyeliminowania jakiejkolwiek formy anonimowej komunikacji w imię walki z przestępczością - pomimo szeroko zakrojonych badań, które nie wykazały żadnych dowodów na to, że przyniesie to jakikolwiek efekt.

Utrudni to życie tym, którzy polegają na anonimowości dla bezpieczeństwa, w tym demaskatorom, dziennikarzom i osobom próbującym uciec przed nadużyciami.

I mean, I don't expect a #Tablet to have good #Audio quality.

  • Frankly I'd be content with #Codec2-level #AMR since no carrier properly implements #AMRWB anyway. Everyone who even halfasses #AudioQuality will plug in a headset anyway...

But being able to just chug in a #SIM and test it by calling it is something people do need rather often!

  • Even if it's just for a few calls...

[#TLDR: JUST TELL ME IF YOUR TABLET CAN DO #CALLS!]

#DearVendors of #Android-#Tablets:

Off all the #Functions you can put into a #Specifications Sheet of your Devices there's one you should ALWAYS answer clearly on your #Website:

DOES YOUR TABLET [with #4G / #5G / …) SUPPORT MAKE PHONE CALLS?

Like: IS IT TOO MUCH TO ASK TO HAVE THAT INFO IN THE SPECSHEETS?

You're obviously able to list all the #Codecs natively supported and the user-available storage as well as supported Frequency Bands, WWAN modes, WiFi channel width and the Display Glass vs. Panel dimensions including DPI of the latter and whether or not it has a hall effect sensor to detect your overpriced 1st party tablet covers!

Now some folks may ask: "WHY does this matter?" or outright dismiss this as a problem.

Listen:
Not everyone is able or willing to carry two devices when 1 SHOULD BE ENOUGH and also some places (i.e. #Turkey) have #ImportRestrictions re: #MobileDevices, so having more than 1 #IMEI is already a "NOPE!" by the authorities.

  • Also this isn't something one can "fix" post-purchase like installing #VLC to decode some obscure file format in Software: Either the #Baseband and #ROM support #PhoneCalls or they don't!

So why do NONE of the #Tablet manufacturers allow to #search or #filter for that???

NO, instead one has to download an obscenely huge #PDF just to then read on page 34 that for any "#telephony" function you NEED YET ANOTHER DEVICE FROM THE SAME MANUFACTURER AND HAVE TO SIGNUP WITH AN ACCOUNT and even that level of #abuse WON'T GUARANTEE THAT IT WORKS...

  • I mean, come on, this ain't some obscure functionality like #OMAPI to do some "evil sourcery" like managing an #eSIM that is in a #SIM-Card form factor!

Pretty shure A LOT of other folks have the same question and ain't willing to get yet another device & #SIM just to recieve the occasional call because #TechIlliterates can't be assed to send an #eMail or learn #XMPP+#OMEMO to message one...

  • Obviously they same manufacturers are able and willing to specify f-stops of the built-in cameras and list EVERY SINGLE #WEARABLE they made and certify as 'compatible' with, as if anyone is gonna take their non-#waterproof #Tablet for a marathon or god forbid triathlon...
