I heard about silent.link but I want to know if I should trust it.
It claims to be an anonymous e-sim provider.
Let’s say it is legit and not backdoored by the government and not a honey pot, would the government be able to find out that I own the anonymous e-sim on it if my other sim in my phone is another provider not silent-link. Like how on android you can use a sim for data and a sim for calls.
Also do you guys think the us government will put peoples name on a list from having silentlink?
The whole thing sounds too good to be a true a anonymous e-sim so let me know what you guys the privacy community think.
I just know one thing, if it’s advertised as an anonymous solution there is a bigger chance to be monitored by LEA.
What’s that?
LEA it’s specially interested in people who use “anonymous” services, so be careful of using these services if they relate you to one of these services you will be incriminated, they will believe you are trying to hide something, I suggest you to use commonly used services ecrypting your activity and using fake data in mainstream services that way you will not arouse suspicion.
If you want to hide your activity from your ISP I suggest you to use a good VPN or Tor, if you use an anonymous e-sim to route your traffic you are more likely to arouse suspicion.
Tf is LEA? I can’t find any relevant info on what this is.
law enforcement agencies

Yes. They can almost certainly tie the hardware ID (IMEI) of your phone to your identity through your non-anonymous service provider, and probably do through mass surveillance programs. Whether that’s a security problem for you depends on what you’re doing with it; surely you aren’t using SMS, standard phone calls, or unencrypted messaging services for anything you really want to keep private.
If you want phone service that will resist targeted surveillance by local authorities, even routinely turning on the cellular modem where you live, work, or study is a risk. This article detailing one person’s approach to securing a phone was posted to Lemmy today and should give you a clue about the possible threat models.
Pay with Monero, set up a VPN, buy a phone specifically for the service. I doubt you can get any more anonymous than that. Cellular networks are by default monitored by governments, there is nothing a provider can do about it. But encrypting the traffic and getting a new phone should make that type of monitoring relatively useless. And if you never give your identity to the provider, they simply can’t know who you are.
