The EU roaming rules are only valid for a certain time period. I can't get a polish SIM card and use it for an entire year in Germany, for example.
? Yes you can. I use a Polish SIM card(with Play) and use it all year round in UK, except for the 2-3 weeks or so when I'm back in Poland for holidays.
I've been wondering for a while what the purpose of all the NB band LTE stuff is even for. The going rate is often around 40c/MB in most countries (lower on Twilio by the looks of it, but the same order of magnitude), which seems like there's some very specific high value-per-byte application intended. Some of the technologies people are touting for very long battery life have transmission latencies of 10+ seconds as…
There are also LEO satellite networks on the way. Is it feasible to use physical RF shielding for devices?
This is very cool tech, but it seems like a niche use-case. It's not made for consumers, and the vast majority of IoT devices barely move, let alone between countries. But , if I were working for a haulage company and was interested in tracking, say, truck location, speed etc across the whole of Europe I could see this being a great way to do it.
PM for the Super SIM here. The problem we're trying to solve here isn't so much that the devices moves between countries, that's somewhat solved, especially in the EU. We want to help companies that deploy devices globally simplify their logistics and supply chain by being able to use a single SIM regardless of the destination of the device.

Shielding by enough to throw any common network off is certainly feasible. Metallized non-opening windows (reflect IR from the sun to save on HVAC), metal plates or thin meshes on the outer walls and either rotating doors or a combination of rf-absorbing walls and a convoluted path to the inside that prevent radio waves from getting in through the door. I'd assume you can feasibly add 60 dB shielding to a building wi…
I got really confused when I first saw this and though it was something for consumers not IoT devices (Sorry twilio team for the application for access shrug ). I really wish someone would nail this for consumer phones. I'm coming up on a year away from home in various countries and the constant sim swapping is beginning to get annoying. I actually bought a dual sim phone so that I can keep my Australian sim card in…
The dream would be to have a single SIM which roams globally and to which you could attach multiple numbers from various countries.
Closest I’ve found is https://www.truphone.com/ but they seem not to offer individual plans.
This sounds very similar to the Truphone SIM: https://www.truphone.com/us/consumer/sim/

So has Amazon Marketplace Web Services and it is by a huge margin the worst API I've seen my share of bad ones over the years.
And yet it is still better than the Amazon Vendor Central API... which they forgot to build at all

One of my clients has been waiting for over 3 months for a reply for access to that API. Right now they are stuck manually processing hundreds of orders per day.

Will there ever be a consumer offering along these lines? (i.e. i am travelling around and don't want to have to get travel SIMs in every different country I visit).

The past two years I've been a digital nomad living about 90% time outside the US and traveling to a lot of countries. Fi has not let me down in a single place! I keep maxing out data cuz of the $60 data cap for upto 15gb.
Wish I had a suggestion for a service like this for people based outside the US but looks like no one's trying to serve this market like Google is. I'm sure there's a lot of money to be made if a business just starts focusing on this segment.
