 I use mobimatter, keepgo and bitrefill. None of them do KYC, all can be bought anonymously with some cryptocurrency. mobimatter and keepgo are valid for a year without a top up, but you can top up with 3$ at least in keepgo to keep it alive for another year. 

I just buy 50GB of data and when it expires, I but a new esim.

Also, the price is around 1/3rd of silent link last time I checked. 

I am glad that all options (including silent link) exist. KYCed sims are just for normies.

 Any recommendation for virtual number? I already have two sims in phone, so I would need other solution then sim.

 Jmp.chat is a non kyc VoIP number provider with a Foss companion app (cheogram) for android. You can pay with bitcoin

 I use Skype, but I have very specific need (number from a particular country). If you don't need that, I believe there are better options, but I have no experience.

 Those are great recs, Im going to check them out. Send over a referral link if you'd like. 

Do you have a VoIP service you like to go along with these for legacy calls/SMS?

 I use Skype over VPN, but I have a specific requirement for the number, so you probably have more options. 

I have referral for Bitrefill: https://www.bitrefill.com/signup/?code=XZzReVuE

For others I use throwaway accounts per esim.

 Bitrefill was a big oof to me last time i used though it wasnt their fault

Every single effin company is asking kyc now, even pizza joints

Defeats the porpuse of giftcard economies

 eSIMs are their product, not a gift card. You get a QR code with esim directly from them.

 Any good recommendation for a SMS relay solution, e.g. for those 2FA SMS that are tied to linked phone number? (e.g. banks).

basically want to leave a legacy phone with the physical SIM in a fixed location (office etc) but still be able to access the SMS it receives

 My sim is hosted in a commercial GSM gateway by 2N. but there's autosms or you can use gnokii based scripts to relay to SimpleX with raspberry pi and GSM shield. just make sure that 2G network works and won't be discontinued soon.

 Adding crypton.sh to the list of options, for reference. Had bookmarked them ages ago, but somehow forgotten
