How to Buy an eSIM with Monero

The most private way to buy an eSIM. 5% discount.

Why Monero for eSIMs?

Monero (XMR) is the only major cryptocurrency where the sender, receiver, and amount are all private by default. When you buy an eSIM with Monero, nobody can see that you made the purchase. Not your wallet provider, not a blockchain explorer, not a third party.

Bitcoin transactions are visible on a public ledger. Monero transactions are not. For buying connectivity privately, Monero is the gold standard.

What You'll Need

  • A Monero wallet with some XMR. We recommend Monero GUI for desktop, Cake Wallet or Monerujo 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. Each plan shows the USD price, and you'll see the XMR equivalent at checkout.

Step 2: Select Monero at Checkout

On the plan detail page, select XMR as your payment currency. You'll see the Monero amount with a 5% discount already applied. We pass our lower processing costs directly to you.

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

Step 3: Pay with Monero

Copy the Monero address or scan the QR code with your wallet. Send the exact XMR amount shown. Monero transactions typically confirm in 2-5 minutes.

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

Step 4: Get Your eSIM

After payment confirmation, your QR code appears on screen. Scan it with your phone and you're connected. For extra privacy, provide a PGP key at checkout. Your QR code gets encrypted so only you can read it.

Why the 5% Discount?

Monero transactions cost us less to process than Bitcoin or card payments, so we pass those savings to you. We want to incentivize the most private payment method.

Privacy Tips for Monero Payments

  • Use a wallet that connects to your own node for maximum privacy.
  • Monero transactions are private by default. No special steps needed.
  • Combine with PGP delivery for end-to-end privacy: private payment + encrypted delivery.
  • Don't reuse Monero subaddresses. Your wallet generates new ones automatically.
