I tried Silent Link for the first time yesterday, really incredible experience.
Got rid of my $60/mo phone plan and replaced it with pay-as-you-go data ($7/gb) paid over Lightning.
My $5 balance should last me at least a few months on Silent Link.
Thanks! Gonna bookmark that one till I get a new phone.

How do you make phone calls and send sms with the data only plan?
reply
with the data only plan, you don’t.
but i’m finding that imessage and all the half-dozen chat apps everyone uses (whatsapp, telegram, signal, twitter dms, etc…) cover all the bases for me.
facetime is my phone replacement for calls, and in my situation it’s perfect… though i do understand that some may disagree.
silent link does also offer a plan that allows you to have a real phone number and accept inbound sms & voice calls, but i didn’t think that was necessary.
