How to buy an eSIM with Bitcoin

Buying mobile data with Bitcoin is straightforward and more private than most people expect — no account, no ID, no card. Here's the whole process, start to finish, in three steps.

  • No KYC
  • No account
  • Crypto only
  • QR usually ready after confirmation

What you'll need

  • A Bitcoin wallet with enough BTC to cover the plan (plus a small network fee).
  • An eSIM-capable phone — iPhone XR/XS and newer, plus most modern Android devices.
  • An email for delivery, or nothing at all if you'd rather use a private retrieval code.

That's it. No registration, no identity check — see why this is a no-KYC eSIM.

The three steps

  1. 1

    Pick your plan

    Choose a destination and data plan on the browse page — local, regional or global.

  2. 2

    Pay in Bitcoin

    At checkout, choose BTC. Send the exact amount shown to the address (or scan the payment QR) from your wallet.

  3. 3

    Scan & connect

    After the payment confirms on-chain, provisioning usually takes a few minutes. Then your eSIM QR is emailed or available with your retrieval code; scan it once in your phone's settings.

Tips for a smooth Bitcoin payment

  • Set a reasonable network fee — too low and confirmation drags; the wallet's default is usually fine.
  • Send the exact invoice amount; underpaying holds the order until it's topped up.
  • Pay before the price-lock window expires (it's shown on the invoice) so the BTC amount stays fixed.
  • Want it private as well as no-KYC? Pay with Monero instead — see the Monero guide below.

Prefer a different coin?

Bitcoin is the classic choice, but it isn't the only one. For a fixed, dollar-stable price use USDT; for maximum privacy use Monero. In total we support 300+ coins via our payment processor — see how paying with crypto works.

FAQ

Do I need an account to buy an eSIM with Bitcoin?+

No. There's no account and no KYC. You pick a plan, pay in BTC, and the eSIM QR is delivered by email or a private retrieval code — no sign-up at any point.

How long does a Bitcoin eSIM payment take to confirm?+

Usually one on-chain confirmation, which on Bitcoin is typically 10–30 minutes depending on the fee you set and network congestion. After confirmation, eSIM provisioning usually takes a few more minutes before the QR is emailed or available with your retrieval code. Faster networks can shorten confirmation time, but provisioning still follows confirmation.

What if the Bitcoin price moves while I'm paying?+

The invoice locks a fixed BTC amount for a short window when you check out, so you send exactly what's shown. If you prefer no volatility at all, pay with a stablecoin like USDT or USDC instead.

Can I get a refund if something goes wrong?+

Unfulfilled or failed orders are refundable in the original cryptocurrency on request. Once an eSIM profile has been delivered, that sale is final.
