Had to relog in to see credit. The $5 gets you about 1GB.

Posting that you can get "free $5" credit is rather pointless without posting what it gets you (rates, validity period, etc.).

I'm not going to install an app just to find out.

posting this will ruin the deal pretty quick, I've been able to exploit it for a while and you get like 3 hrs of steaming hotspot which is close to 2.5gb. it will notice your device after so many uses if you don't erase cookies or use different device/browser. I was going back to back setting up accounts with a phone and now that phone only gets error 500 code even trying to use different browser. so I changed device.
Good/fast service overall why would they let you try for free if it wads bad they want you to top up... keep in mind using the free service you can't pick the country sim it gives you so you will notice YouTube videos in Italian or Russian and can't do most survey sites. Its around $2-3 per gb depending on the country you choose. Promo will die soon the company doesn't want people using burner emails and not paying

I'm curious about how to get the 5GB/month for free.
You need to download the instabridge app. On an Android you will need to set it as your default launcher app, and then you will receive the 5gb. After receiving, you can switch back to your default or preferred launcher. On iOS you need to set it as your default browser app. After you receive your 5gb you can change it back. It gives 5gb every month, and I have been using it for my kids, who have a Google voice number.

How long have you had the 5GB? Have you confirmed if you still have that data today? I did not use it since the first couple days initially activated in Nov. Noticed couple of weeks ago that the 5GB disappeared & have zero data in account. It seems to want me to re-activate w/ 1GB offer.

Aren't people concerned about all the personal data harvesting that their launcher and browser app are going to do for 5Gb?

So I have the eSim setup and see my $5 credit but how do I use it? It shows 1GB = $2.90, but I can't apply the $5 credit to buy it? Of course there's the add to balance screen but I don't want to use my own money or PayPal yet when I have the $5 I got here to use.. confusing app

Thanks OP, this eSIM.io free credit worked for me.
However, I just found that this eSIM.io, as well as instabridge(which also worked for me and gave me 5GB/month free), both connected to the ISP in Warsaw, Poland(both eSIM.io and instabridge use Verizon network in US, but I used IP location website to find out where I was connected through their networks). Because of this, some apps couldn't work, for example, McDonlad's app when I wanted to order online; Exxon Mobile app when I wanted to pay at the pump... I believe these apps identified that my connected IP address is not in US, so they failed to load the pages.... Most other apps have been working well for me, like Google voice, Google maps, Apple maps, etc... There is an easy fix for apps like McDonlad's is to use VPN forcing the app to think the location is in US not Poland(I did try and confirm working with Windscribe VPN), assuming you have VPN service. Well it's free mobile service, I can't complain.

After you activate the eSIM on your phone, you can just start using it, you will see the balance reduces. In my case, I used the mobile data to browse my IP address(IP location), it said I had used 40MB of data, and the balance reduced to $4.87. I think for just browsing a simple page at iplocation.net, 40MB data usage was kind of higher than I thought(should be about several MBs max), also, the app showed the 40MB of data was used "By Countries: Guam", which is weird.

Use the email sign up button. It's under all the others
I also couldn't see the "email sign up button" in the page like OP's screenshot, but only "Continue with Apple" and "Continue with Google". I tried opening the link via both PC and phone, no luck, did I miss something?

Arialo is too expensive, I like using mobimatter, gomoworld, or klook (had lots of great service in Asian countries)

Oh no, letting people use it legitimately will stop people like you from, in your own words, "exploiting it"?

How awful.

Not really. Anyone who wants my data can already get it.
