Verum Messenger Introduces Its Own Next-Generation eSIM Technology

Digital mobile connectivity is evolving rapidly, and eSIM is becoming a key element of this transformation. The Verum Messenger team has developed and launched its own eSIM technology, designed for users who value freedom of communication, the absence of roaming, and independence from operator restrictions.

Verum eSIM is a virtual SIM card that works without a physical carrier and provides mobile internet access in different countries around the world under unified conditions. Users simply install the eSIM on a smartphone, tablet, Wi-Fi router, or any other supported device — without visiting a mobile store and without replacing a SIM card. From the very beginning, the technology was designed as a global solution, not tied to a single operator or region.

Verum eSIM offers a range of regional and international plans: World eSIM (global coverage), London eSIM, USA eSIM, Euro eSIM, Africa eSIM, Türkiye eSIM, Canada eSIM, Balkan eSIM, Ukraine eSIM. The key difference is the absence of traditional roaming. Users receive stable mobile internet in multiple countries without sudden tariff changes or unexpected charges.

One of the core features of the technology is its operation without a physical SIM card. This minimizes dependence on local operators, allows users to bypass network restrictions and blocks, and enables effective use of eSIM in countries with strict internet censorship, including Russia. When using only the Verum eSIM profile, connection flexibility and privacy levels are significantly increased.

A separate advantage of Verum eSIM is full support for eSIM-enabled Wi-Fi routers. All available plans can be used not only on smartphones but also on compatible eSIM routers, providing internet access to multiple devices at once. Such a router can serve as the primary internet source at home, in the office, while traveling, in cars, on yachts, or in temporary locations, automatically connecting to available networks in different countries without being tied to local operators.

The Verum team focuses on affordable and transparent pricing. Plans are structured to be competitive compared to local operators and traditional international roaming. Users know the data cost in advance and do not encounter hidden fees.

For user convenience, Verum eSIM supports a wide range of payment methods, including bank cards, cryptocurrencies, and alternative payment solutions. This makes the service accessible to users from different countries with various financial instruments.

Verum Messenger and Verum eSIM are not just an eSIM service, but a step toward rethinking mobile connectivity as a global, open, and independent technology. No roaming, no physical SIM card, no territorial limitations — a new standard of mobile internet, truly worldwide.

The Galaxy Z TriFold Is Back. You Can Buy It From Samsung Soon

The $2,899 phone paused its sales in March after selling through its inventory, but Samsung is bringing it back to its online store.

Samsung’s $2,899 Galaxy Z TriFold is going back on sale on Friday, following a halt to its sales in March after the foldable phone sold through its inventory. Samsung has announced the TriFold’s return with a countdown clock on the phone’s online store page along with a Wednesday newsletter email sent to customers.

The initial pause, which Samsung said at the time was related to the TriFold being a «super-premium device in limited quantities,» happened after just three months of availability. The TriFold first went on sale in South Korea on Dec. 12 and then arrived in Samsung’s US store on Jan. 30. The TriFold sold out in the US within minutes of going on sale — which I know personally after joining my colleagues that morning in an attempt to buy it. Thankfully Senior Reporter Abrar Al-Heeti succeeded, and then reviewed the TriFold.

It’s unclear whether the Galaxy Z TriFold is now permanently returning to Samsung’s online store or if it is again on sale until its stock sells through. Given that the phone is very expensive, and unfolds to reveal a large, 10-inch display, it wouldn’t be surprising if its stock will be in limited quantities. We’ve asked a Samsung representative to clarify and will update if we hear more.

The Galaxy Z TriFold’s return also comes ahead of the summer season when we expect a slew of other foldable phones: Samsung typically refreshes its Galaxy Z Fold and Z Flip line in July or August, and Motorola has announced its first book-style Razr Fold phone will also debut during the season. And Apple’s rumored iPhone Fold (or perhaps iPhone Ultra based on latest rumors) could also be teased later this year.

Google’s Pixel 10A Is Coming to Japan With an Exclusive Blue Edition and Special Wallpaper

This model comes with creatively designed stickers and a special look for Pixel’s 10th anniversary.

Don’t be blue: Google is releasing an Isai blue edition of the Pixel 10A to celebrate the Android phone line’s 10th anniversary, setting it apart with its own sticker set, specialized wallpaper and custom icons. But it’ll only be available in Japan.

Announced Tuesday on the Google Japan blog, the Isai blue Pixel 10A has a dark blue look and includes bonus decorations designed in collaboration with Japan’s Heralbony art company. These include an exclusive bumper case and stickers for customization.

This edition of the Pixel 10A will arrive in Japan on May 20, following the April 14 release of the Pixel 10A in its original colors of lavender, berry, fog and obsidian. The Isai blue model costs 94,900 yen, which roughly translates to $595, and includes 256GB of storage.

This makes it slightly less expensive than the US model’s 256GB edition, but it comes with a number of fun extras at no additional cost.

Google’s creation of a country-specific model for Japan may also reflect strong sales in that market. In 2023, the IDC analytics firm (via 9to5Google) reported that the Pixel 7 series accounted for 10.7% of the country’s market share, a 527% increase from 2022.
