What you'll need
- A Monero wallet with enough XMR for the plan plus a small fee.
- An eSIM-capable phone (most recent iPhones and Android devices).
- Optionally an email — or skip it entirely and use a private retrieval code.
The three steps
- 1
Pick your plan
Choose a destination on the browse page — local, regional or global coverage.
- 2
Pay in Monero
Choose XMR at checkout and send the exact amount from your Monero wallet. Amounts and addresses stay private on-chain.
- 3
Scan & connect
After on-chain confirmation, provisioning usually takes a few minutes. Then your eSIM QR is emailed or available with your retrieval code; scan once to install it.
Where Monero privacy ends
Monero hides the money, and we hide nothing about you because we collect nothing. That covers the purchase. It does not change how cellular networks work: once the eSIM is live, the carrier still sees device IMEI and tower metadata, exactly as it would with any SIM.
For the full picture — and how to close the remaining gap with a VPN and a clean device — read how anonymous is your eSIM, really?
Other private options
If you want privacy and a fixed dollar price, a stablecoin like USDT is pseudonymous and stable (though not as private as XMR). Either way, see how paying with crypto works across the 300+ coins our payment processor supports.
