If I may ask your advice, I am trying to figure out how I could make silent.link work for me.

I bought a peplink max cell modem/router off ebay for cheap, flashed the most recent firmware and popped in my Fi data only SIM. That gets me a fairly stable, if low speed and expensive internet connection on the tree farm. I have a Pi4 plugged in via cat6 cable and I can ssh into the Pi using a tor hidden service or zero tier. I use the Pi to get remote webcam views to keep an eye on things.

It seems like silent.link uses an eSIM. I gather I could probably get this to work on my Pixel+Graphene, but I need a full time data link at the farm, even when my phone travels back north with me. What are you using it with? I guess I need to research other cheap cell modem/routers that can use eSIMs...? First few I looked at were way more than the $50 the peplink cost me used. Any recommendations?

there is a company which provides a physical sim card which you can load eSIM profiles onto.

They have an app you can use on an android phone to load the esim profiles. its found on the FDroid app.

Cost for card is about $40.

The amp is called JMP esim

you can purchase a programmable sim card from within the app.

also, this is their website. they offer a variety of services…
