    You buy a cheap phone. No need to pay for license, setup anything except a vpn maybe and you are good to go.

    Setting up lots of VM takes a decent computer, some licenses and a know how.

    A phone, you just start it and it connects to a VPN and your good to go.

      But when that tech is set up… You can spin up loads of “phones”.

      I wonder if you need a sim card for each ?

        You can always improve an operation with more complex tech and more money. At the lower levels, you can just smash a car window and grab the valuables. This is likely a basic startup. It works, makes money. Scope increase comes later.

          Compared to the last VMware GUI I saw qemu GUIs I tried seemed more accessible but for scripting the CLI is better anyways. Maybe VMware simplified it since I last saw it? I thought VMware was mostly popular for ESXi servers which qemu isn’t really comparable to, proxmox is the open equivalent I’m aware of.
