@Xavier75 Tu as bien raison Xavier, adieu les eSIM de merde !

Local ping is a spectrum as well. For example if you are roaming, your traffic goes from tower to host (local telco) core network, then goes on to service provider (saily) core network before exiting to public internet (two hops). If an exit node is in the same location as a host you would get local ip, but your latency would still be slightly increased due to additional hop from host to service provider. It can be minimized but still not the same as local telco (single hop). The thing is - even with hops in different countries, done correctly, the added latency isn't noticeable if you aren't doing high frequency trading or gaming.

Some travel esim providers use host IMSI ranges to provide local services. This way they eliminate service provider hop (single hop only), but they are unable to build features like virtual location, adblock etc. Cause they don't take over the traffic from telco on the second hop. This makes them an e-commerce for someone else's connectivity, while we want to build way beyond that

Currently it's possible using Virtual location on Saily. I'm routing my traffic through UK while in Lithuania as we speak. There are >100 locations to choose from and we route your traffic through nordvpn servers so websites can't trace you back.

We are also working on getting you local ip by default, a bit more tricky but doable.

Btw most complaints about using HK as an Asian hub are about chatgpt being blocked there so we already rerouting chatgpt traffic to unblock it for all travelers, but if you know some websites that don't work let me know so we can try and reroute them as well

@AkamaiG @levelsio @Revolut @sailyworld Not the same, we are multi-vendor already

[vykintas @vykintasm]

@levelsio @Revolut Any chance you want to try out https://t.co/vqB4veNg5d? Can hook you up with some free GBs in exchange of feedback

[vykintas @vykintasm]

Nvm, figured it out...

Travel eSIM startups fighting over who's winning the market...
Roaming: that's cute.

Ok so we used Apple Liquid Glass native elements and guidelines for country search. Is it me or the search becomes invisible

[vykintas @vykintasm]

Airports are a cell-tower battle arena. If your SIM lists multiple roaming partners at the same priority, your phone usually latches onto the strongest signal on first attach. Pro tip: once you’re at your hotel (or wherever you’ll spend most of your time), toggle airplane mode once to lock in the best local coverage

[vykintas @vykintasm]

Since most of you probably are traveling to Thailand for WFA in the next couple of months, here's a connectivity tip: 40 ms latency is better than 400 Mbps speed for your video call.

In Thailand’s busy areas, a mid-band 5G cell might show huge throughput with 80-120 ms loaded latency. A quiet low band LTE cell at 20-40 ms will make Zoom flawless.

[vykintas @vykintasm]

Easy

It looks like Russia is blocking internet access for the first 24 hours on their network in order to make drone communication more difficult

[vykintas @vykintasm]

Google has an ARPU of around $55/year of their free user. Their distribution consists of Chrome, Android and deal with iOS to be default search engine. In order to effectively compete with Chrome new AI browsers need to be able to spend at least the same on customer acquisition as Google, so $55 for 1 year payback, $110 for 2 etc. Not sure if the math is mathing until some AI company figures how to earn from free users

It’s hard to do one good product. It’s even harder to do two. We hope to grow both these to billion users and continue to create new ones.

[vykintas @vykintasm]

1.5 years in the industry, still can't believe we sell 1gb roaming for $4 in US while the telco I'm on asks for $7. Also see how deliberately inconvenient the packages are?

[PCMag @PCMag]

Saily's eSIM service is a breeze to set up, and its affordable pricing and worldwide coverage make it an easy choice for travelers and bargain hunters alike. https://t.co/R3LFvt92uB

@koeppelmann @dmihal Why don’t current frontend wallets don’t have batched transactions? Sounds like a an easy feature to develop

[vykintas @vykintasm]

@TechnoTartary @GeneralSkarr_ @NordVPN I’m the one who came up with the name lol so I’m curious. But yeah damage control

[vykintas @vykintasm]

@TechnoTartary @GeneralSkarr_ @NordVPN Look into Google Trends, the volume for meshnet keyword is non-existent. It was before our launch and it is afterwards

[vykintas @vykintasm]

@TechnoTartary @GeneralSkarr_ @NordVPN **Mesh, not link.

[vykintas @vykintasm]

@TechnoTartary @GeneralSkarr_ @NordVPN We already have NordLynx, would be too similar. Also it’s a mesh bot link so not so relevant. Why aren’t you blaming Google for showing you irrelevant results?
