Buy an eSIM with Cryptocurrency

Any coin in your wallet can become mobile data. We settle payments across Bitcoin, Ethereum, Tron, Solana, BNB Chain, Polygon and Lightning, so you never have to off-ramp into fiat just to get online abroad.

Which cryptocurrency should you pay with?

If you hold Bitcoin, Lightning is the cheapest route — invoices settle in seconds for a fraction of a cent, which matters when the plan itself is $5. On-chain BTC works too, but you'll wait for one confirmation and pay a network fee that can rival a small data bundle.

Stablecoin holders should look at Tron (TRC-20 USDT) or Solana (SPL USDC) — both cost cents to move and confirm in under a minute. Ethereum mainnet works, but ERC-20 gas can exceed the price of a week-long regional plan during busy periods.

Holding something more exotic? Over 300 assets are quoted at checkout with a live rate and a short lock window, so what you see is what you send.

What paying in cryptocurrency actually changes

A card payment for a foreign SIM routinely trips fraud rules — a new merchant, a new country, a small amount. Crypto has no issuer in the middle, so a payment either confirms on-chain or it doesn't.

It also removes the account. There's no dashboard login to remember, no password reset from a hotel lobby, and no stored card sitting on a server. The eSIM is tied to your email and a tracking code, nothing else.

A note on network fees

We never take the fee — it goes to the chain you pick. On a $5 plan, choosing Lightning or TRC-20 over Ethereum mainnet is often the difference between cents and dollars.

Paying in cryptocurrency — questions we get

Which cryptocurrencies can I pay with?

Bitcoin (on-chain and Lightning), Ethereum, USDT, USDC, Solana, Litecoin, XRP, Dogecoin, BNB, TRX, TON and roughly 290 further assets. The full live list with current rates appears on the payment page once you reach checkout.

Which network is cheapest to pay from?

Bitcoin Lightning, Tron (TRC-20) and Solana are consistently the cheapest — typically well under $0.10 in network fees. Ethereum mainnet is the most expensive during congestion.

What exchange rate do you use?

A live market rate is quoted when the invoice is created and held for the payment window. If the rate moves outside that window and your payment lands short, we email you to top up or refund.

Do I need to create an account to pay in cryptocurrency?

No. Enter an email, pick a coin, send the payment. You get a tracking code you can use later to retrieve the eSIM without any login.

Can I pay with a card instead?

Yes — Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay and Google Pay run through Stripe at checkout. Crypto is our focus, not a restriction.
