I have 2nd hand pixel 8a with grapheneos and i havent putted sim card in it since i have it, in my country i have to have registered sim card, iam afraid of IMEI be linked with sim card and once i put it in im f**ked, the reason i need to put card is to verify bank which need sim card being in device.
I did some research but became dumb from too much information
(sorry for my english :D)
Edit: also i want to be private because of my feature, idk if i wont live in country where propaganda is normal
How about E-sim? Then you don’t need to enter a physical store at all, let alone dance to the cameras
yeah, but wont it be the same? probably sim and esim will somehow link my phone and my personality will be linked into phone
Yeah but the difference is is that you can buy esim more privately. You can do it online from your home. There are services that provide anonymous (ie via crypto) esims with mobile data, calling, sms, even roaming. If I remember correctly, Silent Link is one of them
But will it be safe? Wouldnt that mean that somebody who owns this card would somehow have access to my device?
I’ve no idea what you’re talking about. What card? Esim is witbout any physical card, right? It’s a code you enter in your phone so it automatically connects to the provider.
I don’t think this is less “safe” as you put it. Perhaps a tiny tiny bit, but I don’t really know. Safe enough I guess
I dunno, I’d be more comfortable being able to physically disconnect the device.
Maybe, although a good custom ROM may help you out there. Also, removable batteries are coming which may also suit your need of killing off all connectivity. EU may have mandated it
