About

US wireless MVNO whose eSIM purchase avoids name and street address but still requires a residential ZIP code.

Analysis

OVERVIEW

Phreeli is a US mobile carrier whose eSIM signup needs only a ZIP code and payment, accepting Monero and Zcash, with its privacy policy stating username, ZIP and payment data are kept separate from phone usage.

LIMITS

The carrier is a Delaware corporation running on upstream infrastructure the record names as T-Mobile and MVNO Connect, so IMEI or ICCID identifiers can still link to issued numbers, and physical SIM delivery, e911 or Wi-Fi calling can require address information beyond the ZIP-only signup.

USEFUL FOR

US mobile service for people who accept ZIP-code-only signup as the privacy baseline rather than full anonymity from upstream carriers.

Privacy warning
US-incorporated MVNO operating on T-Mobile network infrastructure. Five Eyes jurisdiction. T-Mobile towers still record cell tower connection patterns (location metadata) - Phreeli cannot control what T-Mobile's towers log. Phreeli itself stores no identity data (ZIP code only). Credit card payments processed via ZK proof without storing card-to-phone link. Best used for metadata protection from carrier data broker sales, not for adversaries with access to T-Mobile tower data.Delaware/US corporation using upstream telecom providers. Privacy policy says username, ZIP and payment are separated from phone usage, but IMEI/eSIM or ICCID can link to issued numbers and upstream providers such as T-Mobile/MVNO Connect can receive required telecom data.
