No SIM? No Problem!

9 months ago

Your phone is more than just a communication tool; it’s a powerful tracking device, and the SIM card inside is a key reason why.

I don’t actually have a SIM card in any of my phones, and in this video I’ll explain the reasons why.

I’ll also talk about alternative ways that you can still have connectivity on the go without a SIM in your phone, and I’ll dive into the downsides of not having a SIM in your phone.

Having a SIM card in your phone has a lot of privacy downsides. But not having a SIM in your phone definitely has tradeoffs. You’ll have to assess whether this is something that’s right for your life.

Special Thanks to Nick Merrill and David Allan Burgess for lending their time and expertise!
