Hi — I’m Head of Product at Cape. We’re excited to launch out of beta. I’m happy to answer any questions people have.

Huge congrats! I have been getting the instagram reels/ads targeted at me these past few days! and was really bummed to have missed you at nyc tech week last year.

I plan on porting my number to you soon - very quickly, I read in your FAQ that international roaming gets throttled after 5gb (which I already get with t-mobile when traveling). Would you mind confirming - does it get throttled to ~256kbps or something more sensible?

And should the service work with an iphone 13 pro? Finally, any plans for esims? (if the service isn't already esim-only)

Thank you!

Thanks, appreciate the post and questions.

On throttling, I can’t share exactly how it works, but we are doing the bare minimum just to curtail runaway abuse. You will most likely not notice.

We are exclusively eSIM, and compatible on all iPhones that support eSIM.

Happy to answer any other questions and feel free to send along any feedback if you end up trying it out.
