Using it now for a couple weeks and it works. You get a notification when it's time to watch an ad to get 1hour of data.
Works with 5ber when you add the esim code and create an QR code out of it. This QR code then can be scanned with the Firsty app.

My first thought was, What is a esim? Now, i am showing my age?
This concept appears interesting.

How do I know if my device supports eSIM?

Most phones manufactured since 2018 are eSIM-compatible, but it's essential to check for your specific device and location.

Wondering which devices are eSIM-ready? Here's the latest list, constantly expanding as more eSIM-compatible devices hit the market.

You are giving access to rootfolders of your phone (esim) I might be wrong.

So watch 1 ad for 60min/100mb? Is there any limit to how many times? Expiration? If none, this can be good if you are stuck somewhere and ran out of data and you need data for something quick, assuming it's coverage is reliable.

The 100MB is a one time thing. You get 2G speeds for an hour and then watch like a 10 second add to retop your 60 minute timer. Good for messaging, WhatsApp, voip calls.. you could use your browser but it will be almost unusable with those speeds.

Certainly you are outdated, iPhone 15 doesn't even have a SIM card slot, takes only eSIM

Any idea what networks they use in the US?

I'm hoping to get some pre-paid eSims for each of the major networks so if I'm in an area without service on my primary, I can theoretically connect to another cell network.

Great question, no idea but great way to have emergency connectivity. Might have to ask the NoContract Reddit.

Tata uses tmobile. Most of these data only sims like fonus shows up as Tata. No idea why, maybe they're reselling or something.
