Yeah I wouldn't put my dick in that.
There is perhaps an opportunity there. You can't be sure that they won't collect location information or information off your phone. But if you took precautions to make sure you were anonymous when you purchased the stuff, and the device you are using was divorced from you entirely, you just have to make sure you never ever turn it on at home. Getting a working phone number/sim without an SSN/address identification isn't nothing.
I don't trust that stripe wouldn't out you. So you'd need to protect your payment info.
I don't trust that they won't locate you or log your communication or handle your communication or location in a way that could be tracked by a powerful third party.
That said, 99 bucks a month is pretty expensive to get an unidentified sim from a company you can't necessarily trust.
