Roaming doesn’t work in Zimbabwe. I tried with Airalo doesn’t log into the local network. Silent link is far too expensive in Zim and I am sure it wouldn’t work aswell. I think it can’t work there, because with my Austrian number I can not roam too.

Put a sim card in an old phone and hotspot when you need it This way multiple people can share one GSM locator, and you have the possibility to swap it for a new device (identifier) without the hassle of transferring data across Phones are smaller and tend to have better battery than travel routers, you can share the charger, and - they double as an actual phone in case of emergency

Then bitchat is perfect. But you have to start somewhere and see how the adoption works. People need to leave it on for the mesh to work properly I guess. When useful, adoption of a technology shall thrive. And Bitchat definitely is. In Zimbabwe 💪🏻

Sometimes stores in such jurisdictions will sell you a sim based on just a photograph of an arbitrary id card Otherwise, it's a good idea to ask / pay someone else to buy it, indeed Using a sim which is kyc'd to your slave name must really be avoided

In Australia need a driver's licence to set up a phone number. It's been this way for like 15 years already.

CB is short range. Around here channel 40 is what the truck drivers use, it's great if you're traveling and wantbto avoid police checkpoints (most of the truck drivers in Australia use illegal drugs so they help each other avoid police checkpoints) It's also great in an emergency, you can use It to ask for help during a breakdown and someone else with a cb might actually stop and help you while everyone else drives past
