This is so backwards. We now have cheap and fast cryptocurrency (I build Tonkeeper, a wallet for TON) and eSIMs that cover big chunks of world at a time. The cost is low, it's one-click purchase and you have a reliable connection without spam.

Basic human right is not to sell your soul for pennies, but to be able to buy things you need, cheap and easy without lame border controls and obnoxious banking fees.
