My Iranian friends told me that all communication with their families has been cut off by the government. I know of associations gathering funds for donating eSIMs in Gaza where Israel did the same. Do you know of any such possibility in Iran?

My friend has a public profile, and we are thinking of organizing a fundraiser.

Question from the uninformed: how do eSIMs get around the shutdown if internet and cell networks? Satellite (Starlink)?

    I don't know the actual answer, but my guess is that the eSim is from a different country and thus can get through block filters. If the cell tower is down, it probably won't work though.
