How to Buy an eSIM with Bitcoin

On-chain Bitcoin. No KYC required.

Why Buy an eSIM with Bitcoin?

Bitcoin lets you pay for connectivity without linking your identity to the purchase. No credit card, no bank statement showing "eSIM provider," no payment processor collecting your data. Just you, your wallet, and a QR code.

With simZILLA, your Bitcoin payment goes straight from your wallet to the network. No third party sees your transaction.

What You'll Need

  • A Bitcoin wallet with some BTC. We recommend Electrum for desktop, BlueWallet or Phoenix for mobile.
  • An eSIM-compatible phone. Check compatibility.
  • About 5 minutes.

Step 1: Choose Your Plan

Go to simZILLA eSIM plans and pick your destination. Every plan is priced honestly, with no hidden fees and no subscriptions.

Step 2: Select Bitcoin at Checkout

On the plan detail page, select BTC as your payment currency. You'll see the Bitcoin amount calculated at the current exchange rate.

Click "Buy Now." No account, no email required. You'll get an order page with a Bitcoin payment QR code.

Step 3: Pay with Bitcoin

Scan the QR code with your Bitcoin wallet, or click "Open Checkout" to pay in your browser. On-chain payments confirm in 10-30 minutes.

The order page polls for payment confirmation every 5 seconds. Once your transaction confirms on the blockchain, your eSIM activates automatically.

Step 4: Get Your eSIM

After payment confirmation, your QR code appears on screen. Scan it with your phone (Settings → Cellular → Add eSIM) and you're connected. Full instructions in our setup guide.

On-Chain Bitcoin

On-chain Bitcoin takes 10-30 minutes for one confirmation. More secure, but slower. Good if you're buying in advance.

Lightning Network (instant, near-zero-fee) is coming soon. We're working on it — check back for instant Bitcoin payments.

Privacy Tips for Bitcoin Payments

  • Use a wallet that supports coin control (Electrum) to avoid linking your eSIM purchase to other transactions.
  • Consider running your own node. It gives you full control over your transactions.
  • For maximum privacy, use Monero instead. 5% discount, private by default.
  • Don't reuse addresses. Your wallet handles this automatically.
