If you think I'm joking, check your own current paid ISP plan's terms of service. Non-trivial probability they're already doing similar to you, at least if you're not protected by something like the EU's GDPR.
Is that what's going on here, or is their business model different somehow?
Anyways...So they will pay you in their crypto token., Which they then accept as payment.Or you can sell yourself. Im assuming they are going to expand on this somehow.
Also a while back they were talking about another app that carriers were going to opt into that allows people to use each others phones a a hotspot for a small fee.
Just a guess but maybe something with this as well.
They are not the only company going this way there are going to be some announcements very soon of others going this path

Its only android and IOS.
By Dumb I jumped the gun and assumed you meant physical SIM card,
iOS 14 and newer and Android 11 and newer.

device identifiers + drivers license verification becomes good data to link with all the other 3rd party data that exist
It's required only if you want to earn their crypto tokens by giving up your location info.

I am interested in this Helium deal for a spare phone. After reading the comments I think I will pass up on this Helium free deal due to the ID verification, having location ON and Helium selling your data.
and on my other phone with esim I have 5GB free data with instabridge and use google voice.
Between the two i dont' miss calls and get free monthly service.
