Is silent.link anonymous e-sim legit? (lemmy.ml)

I heard about silent.link but I want to know if I should trust it.

It claims to be an anonymous e-sim provider.

Let's say it is legit and not backdoored by the government and not a honey pot, would the government be able to find out that I own the anonymous e-sim on it if my other sim in my phone is another provider not silent-link. Like how on android you can use a sim for data and a sim for calls.

Also do you guys think the us government will put peoples name on a list from having silentlink?

The whole thing sounds too good to be a true a anonymous e-sim so let me know what you guys the privacy community think.

Pay with Monero, set up a VPN, buy a phone specifically for the service. I doubt you can get any more anonymous than that. Cellular networks are by default monitored by governments, there is nothing a provider can do about it. But encrypting the traffic and getting a new phone should make that type of monitoring relatively useless. And if you never give your identity to the provider, they simply can't know who you are.
