Can you explain how your paid tier works? Is it 1.95€ a day unlimited worldwide, or are there charges on top of that?
It does say, “Pay a fair local rate.” So, I'm going to assume it is €1,95/day + local rate (not roaming rate).

#22This seems pretty cool, so it's free slow cell service in exchange for watching a video ad every hour, with optional prepaid plans for higher speeds/no ads. It does seem that your cellular is only active for an hour after you last watch an ad, which is unfortunate if you want to receive notifications throughout the day.
How does it know that you watched the ad? Does it quiz you or what? It actually sounds terrible. I can get a minimal prepaid sim for $30/year (200MB/mo + basic voice and text) and that sounds preferable to this thing with ads. https://www.ebay.com/itm/133196831828
This is a similar thing that is comparable to your eBay link, but also doesn't feature roaming. 100MB a month for 5 years, for £16 one off: https://www.rwgmobile.wales/webshop/buy-forget/5-year-sim-da...

#24Last year we took a two week vacation in Boston. I had to pay 16€ for 1GB/Week of data with my German T-Mobile contract, even when using T-Mobile US. This really sounds like a nice alternative.

#30The cost for a 30 day / 25GB sim that works in dozens of countries is $22. I think at that rate, $1.95 per day doesn't feel particularly exceptional?
