      Can you do a review of Abine Blur & PaySafeCard?
      Also would love to hear your thoughts on Blockstack & blockstack dapp offerings like Dmail.
      Like you said I'd personally probably stick with my current prepaid service provider as its cheaper and offers many of the benefits that the "aweSIM" is offering, definitely would love to see where they take their service tho

    In the EU (i am from Germany) you can't even get prepaid card that work out of the box without activation online where you have to enter your name, address and some sort of id. And it has go be the end customer. No middle man. I am sure there are tricks/hacks where you are still able to get one anonymously, but the law sucks.
    Edit: Apparently only in Germany. Not EU. But coming soon to your country. A EU wide plan is already in the making. But just not enough interest right now.

      If Privacy cards (or a European equivalent) work outside the US, that would be the best way to pay for it. You can submit fake info that way too. What I love most about it is setting limits; either per transaction, month or year per digital card.

Can I still get tracked by an app, although I disabled tracking, etc.? Is it all built on trust until there is a leak?

    It seems pretty inconvenient for your wallet and it doesn't help that the apps on your phone pin point your current location, which can be used to compare to to the "anonymous" T-Mobile\AT&T users' tracking data.
