Get data abroad without giving up your identity.
Traditional travel connectivity is a privacy nightmare. Airport SIM cards require passport registration. Roaming plans link your travel to your home carrier. Hotel Wi-Fi tracks your browsing. Public Wi-Fi is insecure.
Every step of the chain collects your data: who you are, where you are, what you're doing online. It doesn't have to be this way.
Physical SIM cards bought at airports or local shops almost always require ID registration. Your passport gets photocopied, your identity gets linked to that SIM, and that data sits in a database, often with weak security.
eSIMs bought online with crypto avoid this entirely. No passport. No photocopy. No database entry with your name on it. Browse simZILLA plans.
Credit card payments create a permanent record: your name, the merchant, the amount, the date. Your bank knows you bought an eSIM. The payment processor knows. Anyone who subpoenas either knows.
Monero transactions are private by default. The sender, receiver, and amount are all hidden. Nobody can prove you bought an eSIM. Not your bank, not a payment processor, not a government. Monero eSIM guide.
Hotel Wi-Fi often requires a room number and last name to log in. Even "free" Wi-Fi tracks your MAC address and browsing. Use your eSIM data instead. It's your own private connection, not a shared network with logging.
If you choose email delivery for your eSIM QR code, use PGP encryption. Your QR code is encrypted with your public key before it's sent. Even if the email is intercepted, the QR code is unreadable without your private key. PGP delivery guide.
Use your regular SIM for calls and texts. Your contacts already have that number. Use your eSIM for data. This way, your data usage isn't linked to your primary carrier, and you avoid roaming charges.
