Check the country registry before choosing a data plan, and read what mobile networks can still see. **Quick answer — Is there an eSIM that does not require ID or email?** Yes. UnlistedSIM sells an eSIM without ID or email from $1.09: no passport, selfie or email at checkout, with a random account number for login. Plans provide mobile data without a phone number. Updated October 2026: destination registration rules are listed separately; networks still see device identifiers and approximate location. ## Where can I use an eSIM without ID or email? Type a country or a region.

Almost nothing.

Full guide: [how it works](https://unlistedsim.com/how-it-works/). 1. **Pick a destination and a plan** — Choose a country, or the Europe or global eSIM, and the amount of data you need. 2. **Top up in crypto** — Send BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC on the exact network shown, from $10. The plan is bought from your balance once the payment is confirmed. 3. **Get your QR code** — The QR code and the activation code appear in your account as soon as the eSIM is ready. No email is needed. 4. **Install before you leave** — Install on Wi-Fi at home, then turn the line on when you land. Never delete the profile. ## Which privacy and country-rule guides do we publish? The rules that matter before you travel, dated and sourced, in HTML and as Markdown. - **[Travel eSIM ID Registry](https://unlistedsim.com/travel-esim-id-registry/)** — Country by country: what a local SIM requires, and what is documented for a travel eSIM in roaming. - **[Who sees what](https://unlistedsim.com/who-sees-what/)** — What the seller, the mobile network, the blockchain and the websites you visit can each see. - **[Restrictions tracker](https://unlistedsim.com/esim-restrictions-tracker/)** — Where eSIM sellers are blocked, where phones must be registered, and where you must install before arrival. - **[What we collect](https://unlistedsim.com/what-we-collect/)** — Each item we hold, including the optional ones you add, why we hold it, and how long. ## What should I check before buying? ### What data do you keep, and for how long? Four groups: your account number and balance, your orders, the status and data used of each eSIM as reported by our partner network, and your top-ups (coin, network, amount, transaction ID). An email, a password and two-factor authentication are optional, and the client area lists your logged-in devices. Orders are kept as long as your account exists, so the QR code can be shown again and refunds can be credited, then deleted with the account. Item by item: [what we collect](https://unlistedsim.com/what-we-collect/) and [data retention](https://unlistedsim.com/data-retention/). ### Can my eSIM be tracked? Yes. Mobile networks can see device and subscription identifiers and approximate location from the cells serving your phone. UnlistedSIM removes the ID and email request at purchase; it does not hide your phone from networks or supply an end-to-end VPN. Use HTTPS, review app permissions and read [who sees what](https://unlistedsim.com/who-sees-what/). ### Which crypto reveals the least? Do you accept Monero? We don't accept Monero (XMR). We accept Bitcoin (BTC), Tether (USDT), USD Coin (USDC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Litecoin (LTC). All of them run on public blockchains, where the amount, the time and the sending and receiving addresses are visible to anyone. Paying from a wallet that is not tied to your name, for example not straight from an exchange account that verified your identity, reveals less. Coin by coin: [pay privately](https://unlistedsim.com/pay-privately/). Sellers that do take XMR: [Which eSIM sellers accept Monero?](https://unlistedsim.com/pay-privately/monero/) ### Which countries require ID even for a travel eSIM? Requirements depend on the issuing operator, the eSIM profile and the country. A local line and a foreign travel eSIM used in roaming are different cases. Our [SIM and eSIM ID rules by country](https://unlistedsim.com/travel-esim-id-registry/) separates documented requirements, explicit exemptions and unknowns. A missing rule is not permission, and a phone-registration exemption is not a SIM-registration exemption. ### Does the eSIM come with a phone number or SMS? No. UnlistedSIM eSIMs are data only: no phone number, no calls and no SMS. Keep your home SIM active next to the eSIM (dual SIM) so that bank codes and calls still reach you; your home operator may charge for calls and texts received abroad. Sellers that include a number are listed on [eSIMs with a phone number](https://unlistedsim.com/esim-phone-numbers/). ### Can I get a refund? Not to your wallet. An eSIM you never installed, or one we could not deliver, is credited back to your UnlistedSIM balance. An installed eSIM is not refunded.

No founding story, no team photos, no customer counts: only facts you can check. **Quick answer — Who runs UnlistedSIM?** UnlistedSIM is operated by eSIMGoat LLC, registered in Panama, and offers an eSIM without ID or email at checkout, from $1.09. It sells data-only plans, uses a random account number for login and has no referral programme. Updated October 2026; mobile networks still see device and subscription identifiers. ## UnlistedSIM in brief | Attribute | Value | | --- | --- | | Operator | eSIMGoat LLC | | Registered in | Panama | | What we sell | Data-only eSIMs: 23 countries with their own plans, plus a Europe eSIM and a global eSIM | | Checkout | No ID document, no selfie, no email; a random account number is the login | | Payment | Crypto only: Bitcoin (BTC), Tether (USDT), USD Coin (USDC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Litecoin (LTC).

Data-only eSIMs for travel, bought with no ID and no email, paid in crypto. - **Plans:** from 1 GB for 7 days to 20 GB for 30 days, plus unlimited plans with a fair-use cap (fair use: 2 GB a day at full speed), in 23 countries with their own plans, and a Europe eSIM and a global eSIM. Every price is on the [pricing page](https://unlistedsim.com/pricing/). - **Delivery:** the QR code and the activation code appear in your account as soon as the eSIM is ready. No email is needed to get them. - **Payment:** a prepaid balance, topped up in crypto from $10. Unused balance stays on your account and never expires, and it pays for new eSIMs and top-ups, but it is not refundable. - **Data only:** no phone number, no calls, no SMS. The eSIM profiles are issued through established partner networks. Each country page names the local network our plans connect to there: the largest network in the country, for example Orange in France. The network generation and the hotspot rule of each plan are not yet published, so we promise neither. ## What does UnlistedSIM publish? Three registries and our own policies: the Travel eSIM ID Registry, the eSIM Restrictions Tracker and the [Phone-Number Registry](https://unlistedsim.com/esim-phone-numbers/), plus what we collect and who sees what. Each page is dated, in HTML and as Markdown, and the registries carry a source and a check date for every row. - **[Travel eSIM ID Registry](https://unlistedsim.com/travel-esim-id-registry/)** — What a local SIM requires in each country, and what is documented for a travel eSIM in roaming. - **[Restrictions tracker](https://unlistedsim.com/esim-restrictions-tracker/)** — Blocked seller websites, phone registration rules and countries where you must install before arrival. - **[Who sees what](https://unlistedsim.com/who-sees-what/)** — What the seller, the networks, the blockchain and the websites you visit can each see. - **[What we collect](https://unlistedsim.com/what-we-collect/)** — Each item we hold about an account, including the optional ones you add, and why. - **[Law enforcement requests](https://unlistedsim.com/law-enforcement-requests/)** — What we can hand over, what we cannot, and under which law. - **[Transparency report](https://unlistedsim.com/transparency-report/)** — Requests received and how we answered them. First report: January 2027. ## How are the registries made? From primary sources first, with the date of each check, and with our conflict of interest stated. - **Sources:** laws and regulators first, then operators' official pages, then the press. When only a press article or a seller's page supports a row, the row says so and names the publisher. - **Dates:** every row carries the date it was checked. The page date changes only when a fact changes. - **Gaps:** when no rule is found, the row says "no rule found" with the check date. It never says "exempt" unless a source says so. - **Disagreements:** when sources disagree, the row says "sources disagree" and quotes both. - **Our own plans:** where a fact about our plans is not confirmed, such as the exit-IP country or 5G, we write "not yet published" rather than guess. **Conflict of interest:** we sell eSIMs. A registry that says travel eSIMs escape local ID rules helps us sell them. That is why every row quotes its source and date, so that you can check it without trusting us. The registries are published under the CC BY 4.0 licence. ## What does UnlistedSIM never do? - **No reviews, ratings or testimonials**, and no customer counts, awards or "trusted by" logos. - **No disguised comparisons.** Our comparison pages say "We sell eSIMs. Our plans are included in this comparison and marked.", and every competitor fact carries its source and check date. - **No anonymity promise.** We sell a private checkout; networks still see device identifiers and location: the network still sees your device and its approximate location. - **No "unlimited" without its cap**, no 5G claim and no speed promise we cannot back. - **No help to get around a SIM registration law** that applies to you, and no use of our eSIMs to defeat SMS verification: see the [acceptable use policy](https://unlistedsim.com/acceptable-use-policy/). - **No request for your account number or QR code by email.** We never ask for your account number or your eSIM activation code (QR code) by email or chat. - **No advertising trackers.** The site runs no analytics and sets no tracking cookies; outside the client area, your browser only remembers your language choice. ## Why crypto only? Because it lets you pay without a card or a bank account, so no bank name or card number reaches us. We accept Bitcoin (BTC), Tether (USDT), USD Coin (USDC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Litecoin (LTC); USDT on TRC-20 or ERC-20, USDC on ERC-20. We don't accept Monero (XMR). Every coin we accept runs on a public blockchain, so the payment itself is visible: the amount, the time and the addresses. How to pay with less exposure is explained on [pay privately](https://unlistedsim.com/pay-privately/). ## How can I reach UnlistedSIM? - **Support:** support@unlistedsim.com. Email replies within 12 hours, 7 days a week, including help with installing and activating your eSIM. - **Questions about an order:** from the client area, where you are signed in with your account number. - **Legal requests:** see [law enforcement requests](https://unlistedsim.com/law-enforcement-requests/). We answer only legally binding orders under the law of Panama, where the operating company is registered. Everything else is on the [contact page](https://unlistedsim.com/contact/). ## About UnlistedSIM: FAQ ### Which company operates UnlistedSIM? eSIMGoat LLC, a company registered in Panama. It is the company you contract with when you buy an eSIM, as stated in the [terms of sale](https://unlistedsim.com/legal/terms/) and the [privacy policy](https://unlistedsim.com/legal/privacy/). We answer only legally binding orders under the law of Panama, where the operating company is registered. ### Why don't you publish a founding year or customer numbers? Because we publish only facts we can show. A founding story or a customer count cannot be checked by a reader. What you can check is published instead: every price, every policy, and registries with a source and a date for each row. ### Are your registries neutral if you sell eSIMs? We have a conflict of interest, and we state it: we sell eSIMs, and a registry that favours travel eSIMs helps us. To make that checkable, every row quotes its source and its check date, "no rule found" is never written as "exempt", and disagreements between sources are shown. The registries are under the CC BY 4.0 licence. ### Who supplies the eSIMs? The eSIM profiles are issued through established partner networks. In each country, our plans connect to the largest local network, named on each country page, for example Orange in France. The exit-IP country, the network generation and the hotspot rule are not yet published plan by plan. Until they are confirmed, our pages say "not yet published" instead of guessing. ### Do you have reviews or ratings? No, and we do not publish any. No testimonials, star ratings, customer counts or awards appear on this site, and we do not pay for reviews. A reader cannot check them, so we publish facts that can be checked instead. Judge us on [pricing](https://unlistedsim.com/pricing/), [what we collect](https://unlistedsim.com/what-we-collect/) and the [registry](https://unlistedsim.com/travel-esim-id-registry/). ### Does UnlistedSIM accept Monero? No. We don't accept Monero (XMR). We accept Bitcoin (BTC), Tether (USDT), USD Coin (USDC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Litecoin (LTC). All of them run on public blockchains, where the amount, the time and the addresses are visible to anyone. Paying from a wallet that is not tied to your name reveals less, for example not straight from an exchange account that verified your identity. Coin by coin: [pay privately](https://unlistedsim.com/pay-privately/). --- UnlistedSIM: UnlistedSIM offers an eSIM without ID or email at checkout, from $1.09. Data only, crypto only; sourced country ID rules and privacy limits. --- # Acceptable use policy > What UnlistedSIM no-ID eSIMs, paid in crypto from $1.09, may be used for (travel, privacy, journalism) and what is forbidden: fraud, SIM farms, spam. - URL: https://unlistedsim.com/acceptable-use-policy/ - Last updated: 2026-10-09 - Publisher: UnlistedSIM (https://unlistedsim.com) A no-ID checkout protects your privacy. It is not a licence to harm others. This policy lists what UnlistedSIM eSIMs are for, what is forbidden, and what happens if the rules are broken. **Quick answer — What can I use an UnlistedSIM eSIM for?** **UnlistedSIM**, a no-ID eSIM seller paid in crypto, sells data-only eSIMs from $1.09 for lawful uses: travel, staying connected abroad, privacy and journalism. Fraud, SIM farms, bulk account creation, abuse of SMS or account verification, spam, harassment, evading a court order and illegal content are forbidden. An eSIM used that way can be suspended without refund of the plan. No ID at checkout does not mean no rules. ## 1. Why this policy exists We ask for no ID and no name, and no email at checkout. That protects people who have good reasons to limit what they hand over. It also means we rely on clear rules, rather than identity checks, to keep our eSIMs away from abuse that harms other people and the networks we depend on. This policy is part of our [terms of sale](https://unlistedsim.com/legal/terms/). It applies to every UnlistedSIM eSIM and account. ## 2. What UnlistedSIM eSIMs are for - **Travel:** mobile data in the countries you visit, without buying a local SIM card. - **Staying connected abroad:** maps, messages, work and family calls over data, while your home SIM stays active for calls and bank codes. - **Privacy:** buying connectivity without handing over an ID document, an email address or card details, and limiting how much data about you is collected. - **Journalism and civil society:** reporters, researchers and NGO staff who need to know who can see what before they travel. See [who sees what](https://unlistedsim.com/who-sees-what/). - **A backup connection** when your usual line fails or roaming is expensive. ## 3. What is forbidden You may not use an UnlistedSIM eSIM, an account or a balance for: - **Fraud and scams:** phishing, impersonation, fake shops, investment or payment fraud, or any attempt to take money or data from others by deception. - **SIM farms and SIM boxes:** running many eSIMs in banks of devices, routing traffic to disguise its origin, or reselling connectivity in bulk. - **Bulk account creation:** creating accounts in large numbers on websites or apps, by hand or with automation. - **Abuse of SMS or account verification:** trying to defeat the verification, anti-fraud or rate-limiting systems of banks, platforms or other services. Our eSIMs have no phone number and must not be presented as a way around such checks. - **Spam:** unsolicited bulk messages, by email, messaging apps or any other channel. - **Harassment:** threats, stalking, doxxing or intimidation of any person. - **Evading a court order** or a lawful sanction that applies to you. - **Illegal content:** creating, storing or sharing content that is illegal, including child sexual abuse material. - **Attacks on systems:** malware, intrusion, denial-of-service attacks or scanning systems you have no permission to test. ## 4. Local laws You are responsible for following the laws of the countries where you use an eSIM, including SIM registration, device registration, VPN and content rules. UnlistedSIM eSIMs are travel eSIMs. They are not offered as a way for residents to get around a SIM registration law that applies to them. Our [Travel eSIM ID Registry](https://unlistedsim.com/travel-esim-id-registry/) reports what each law and regulator says, with sources and dates; it is information, not legal advice. ## 5. What happens if the rules are broken - **Suspension:** we may suspend an eSIM used in breach of this policy, without refund of the plan. - **Refusal of service:** we may refuse further orders linked to that use. - **Legal requests:** We answer only legally binding orders under the law of Panama, where the operating company is registered. What we hold, and therefore what we could hand over, is limited: see [law enforcement requests](https://unlistedsim.com/law-enforcement-requests/) and [what we collect](https://unlistedsim.com/what-we-collect/). The partner networks that carry the traffic also apply their own rules and can act on an eSIM that breaks them. ## 6. How to report misuse Write to support@unlistedsim.com with what happened, when, and why you think an UnlistedSIM eSIM is involved. You do not need an account or to be a customer. Each report is reviewed, and abuse that is confirmed leads to the measures in section 5. ## 7. Changes to this policy When this policy changes, the date at the top of the page changes and the change is listed in the [changelog](https://unlistedsim.com/changelog/). The version in force when an eSIM is used applies to that use. --- UnlistedSIM: UnlistedSIM offers an eSIM without ID or email at checkout, from $1.09. Data only, crypto only; sourced country ID rules and privacy limits. --- # No-KYC eSIM alternatives > No-KYC eSIM alternatives one by one: PikaSim, nadanada, VoidMob, Stellar eSim, Cryptorefills and Silent.link, each checked against UnlistedSIM, October 2026. - URL: https://unlistedsim.com/alternatives/ - Last updated: 2026-10-09 - Publisher: UnlistedSIM (https://unlistedsim.com) One dated comparison per no-KYC eSIM seller. Each page starts with what the other seller does better, then shows where UnlistedSIM differs. **Quick answer — What are the alternatives to no-KYC eSIM sellers?** **No-KYC eSIM alternatives**, one page per seller: **UnlistedSIM**, a no-ID eSIM seller paid in crypto, compares itself with Silent.link, PikaSim, nadanada, VoidMob, Stellar eSim and Cryptorefills. Each page says what the other seller does better, such as Monero, no account or lower prices, and where we differ: no email at checkout, USDT on TRC-20 or ERC-20, published country ID rules. Our plans start at $1.09. ## Compare UnlistedSIM with each seller - **[Silent.link alternative](https://unlistedsim.com/silent-link-alternative/)** — No account, Monero, Lightning, a +1 number for incoming SMS. First 1 GB from $9 ($4 eSIM + $5 balance). - **[PikaSim alternative](https://unlistedsim.com/alternatives/pikasim/)** — No signup, Monero and Zcash, refunds paid back in BTC or Lightning. - **[nadanada alternative](https://unlistedsim.com/alternatives/nadanada/)** — "No KYC", from $0.99, Lightning and Monero. The old LNVPN eSIM page redirects here. - **[VoidMob alternative](https://unlistedsim.com/alternatives/voidmob/)** — No ID, passport or selfie; non-VoIP numbers sold separately; Monero per a tester. - **[Stellar eSim alternative](https://unlistedsim.com/alternatives/stellar-esim/)** — Swiss seller with the lowest listed crypto prices in esimdb data, Monero and a VPN. - **[Cryptorefills alternative](https://unlistedsim.com/alternatives/cryptorefills/)** — Crypto only, "No KYC", nine named networks from Lightning to TON. - **[Best no-KYC eSIM (2026)](https://unlistedsim.com/best-no-kyc-esim/)** — All eight sellers ranked on the same ten criteria, with two comparison tables. - **[Which travel eSIMs include a phone number?](https://unlistedsim.com/esim-phone-numbers/)** — A dated registry of sellers that include or sell a number, and those that are data only. > **All eight sellers side by side** The full table (email, account, ID check, Monero, Lightning, USDT on Tron, refunds, published routing and dated prices) is on one page, so that it is kept up to date in one place: Best no-KYC eSIM (2026): 8 sellers compared. ## How do we compare no-KYC eSIM sellers? Every page uses the same method: - **The seller's own pages first.** We quote its words where we can, with the date we read them: 9 October 2026 for this set. - **Third parties named.** When a fact comes from a forum tester or a review site, the page says so in the same line. - **Prices only when dated.** Competitor prices come from the seller's site or from esimdb data of the same day. Our own prices are read from our live catalogue when the page is built. - **Empty means unknown.** A dash means the sources we checked did not say, not that the answer is no. - **Their strengths first.** Each page lists what the other seller does better before it lists our differences. We sell eSIMs, so none of these pages is independent. The disclosure is on every table. ## What does UnlistedSIM do differently? UnlistedSIM sells data-only eSIMs with no ID and no email at checkout, paid in crypto (BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC). A random account number is the login; an email in the client area, for receipts, reminders or recovery, stays optional. You top up a prepaid balance from $10, and the balance never expires. What we do not do, said first: no Monero, no Lightning, no phone numbers, no card, and no published exit-IP data yet. What we publish instead: the SIM ID rules of 34 countries in the [Travel eSIM ID Registry](https://unlistedsim.com/travel-esim-id-registry/), and [what we collect](https://unlistedsim.com/what-we-collect/), field by field. ## No-KYC eSIM alternatives: FAQ ### Which no-KYC eSIM alternatives accept Monero? Silent.link, PikaSim, nadanada and Stellar eSim list Monero (XMR) on their sites, checked 9 October 2026. A tester on the official GrapheneOS forum reported that VoidMob accepts it too. Monero is not in the coin list we read on Cryptorefills' eSIM page, so check its checkout. UnlistedSIM does not accept Monero; we accept Bitcoin (BTC), Tether (USDT), USD Coin (USDC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Litecoin (LTC). ### Which no-KYC eSIM alternatives need no account? Silent.link, where the order page is the only access, and PikaSim, which says "no signup, no email". UnlistedSIM has an account that holds no name and no phone number: a random account number is the login. No email is asked at checkout or needed to log in; you may add one in the client area for receipts, reminders or recovery, and it stays optional. The account holds your balance, orders and QR codes. ### Which no-KYC eSIM seller is the cheapest? In esimdb data of 9 October 2026, Stellar eSim had the lowest price payable in crypto in 95 of 100 price cells, not verified at checkout. Among sellers without an account, nadanada was lowest in 80 of 100 cells. UnlistedSIM does not claim the lowest price; our plans start at $1.09, with no ID and no email, paid in crypto. Details are in the [best no-KYC eSIM](https://unlistedsim.com/best-no-kyc-esim/) comparison. ### Do these sellers include a phone number? Some sell one. Silent.link sells a +1 number that receives SMS for $93 a year plus a $5 balance (checked 9 October 2026), VoidMob sells non-VoIP numbers separately, and PikaSim sells an SMS service separately. UnlistedSIM eSIMs are data only: no number, no calls, no SMS. The registry of 16 sellers is on [eSIMs with a phone number](https://unlistedsim.com/esim-phone-numbers/). ### Are these comparisons independent? No. UnlistedSIM sells eSIMs, and our plans are included and marked in every table. To keep the pages checkable, every competitor fact is dated and sourced, unknowns are left as dashes, and each page lists what the other seller does better before our own differences. ### Why is there no Bitrefill alternative page? Bitrefill is compared in our [best no-KYC eSIM](https://unlistedsim.com/best-no-kyc-esim/) ranking. Its eSIM pages say "No verification required" and "No calls/SMS", and its eSIMs are delivered by email. For now, the separate pages cover the six sellers listed above, with all eight sellers side by side in the ranking. ## Sources 1.

If your coins sit on a layer-2 network or on TON, you can pay without moving them first. - **USDT on Tron and Lightning, both listed.** Few eSIM sellers state the Tron network at all. - **Crypto only and "No KYC".** The same model as ours. - **A named company.** Big Dream Ventures B.V., registered in the Netherlands. - **Coverage.** It declares 180+ countries. ## Where does UnlistedSIM differ from Cryptorefills? We accept fewer networks, and we publish more about everything around the payment: - **No email, stated.** None is asked at checkout or needed to log in: a random account number is the login, and an email in the client area stays optional. The Cryptorefills pages we checked did not say whether an email is required. - **Country rules.** The [Travel eSIM ID Registry](https://unlistedsim.com/travel-esim-id-registry/) lists the SIM ID rules of 34 countries with sources and check dates. If a local network ever required an ID check for a destination, that plan page would say so before you pay. - **Data list and retention.** [What we collect](https://unlistedsim.com/what-we-collect/), field by field, and [how long we keep it](https://unlistedsim.com/data-retention/). - **Legal requests.** We answer only legally binding orders under the law of Panama, where the operating company is registered. - **Refund rule.** A never-installed eSIM is credited back to the balance; an installed eSIM is not refunded. The trade-offs: no Lightning, no TON, Polygon, Arbitrum, BSC or Base, no Monero, and a minimum top-up of $10. ## Cryptorefills or UnlistedSIM: who should pick which? - **Pick Cryptorefills** if your coins are on Lightning, TON, Polygon, Arbitrum, BSC or Base, or if you pay with DOGE, TRX or DAI. - **Pick UnlistedSIM** if you pay with USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC or Bitcoin on-chain, want no email asked, and want to read country rules, data rules and refund rules first. - **If you need Monero**, choose a seller that lists it. We don't accept Monero (XMR), and it is not in the coin list we read on Cryptorefills' eSIM page. See the sellers that list it in our [no-KYC eSIM comparison](https://unlistedsim.com/best-no-kyc-esim/). ## Cryptorefills alternative: FAQ ### Does Cryptorefills require KYC? Cryptorefills says "No KYC" on its eSIM page (checked 9 October 2026). UnlistedSIM asks for no ID and no email at checkout either. In both cases, no-KYC covers the purchase only: the visited mobile network still sees your device identifier (IMEI) and approximate location. Our [who sees what](https://unlistedsim.com/who-sees-what/) page lists each party. ### Who runs Cryptorefills? Big Dream Ventures B.V., a Dutch company, per Cryptorefills' eSIM page (checked 9 October 2026). UnlistedSIM is operated by eSIMGoat LLC, registered in Panama. We answer only legally binding orders under the law of Panama, where the operating company is registered. Our [law enforcement requests](https://unlistedsim.com/law-enforcement-requests/) page lists what we can hand over, and what we can't. ### Which networks does Cryptorefills accept? Lightning, Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, BSC, Base, Tron, Solana and TON, for BTC, ETH, SOL, LTC, TRX, DOGE, USDC, USDT, DAI and others. UnlistedSIM accepts fewer: Bitcoin on-chain, USDT on TRC-20 or ERC-20, USDC on ERC-20, ETH, SOL and LTC, all at the same price. ### Does Cryptorefills or UnlistedSIM accept Monero? We don't accept Monero (XMR). Monero is not among the coins Cryptorefills names on its eSIM page (BTC, ETH, SOL, LTC, TRX, DOGE, USDC, USDT, DAI and others), checked 9 October 2026; that list is not complete, so check its checkout. Silent.link, PikaSim, nadanada and Stellar eSim list Monero, per their sites. Our [pay privately](https://unlistedsim.com/pay-privately/) page explains what each coin we accept reveals on its blockchain. ### Is Cryptorefills cheaper than UnlistedSIM? We cannot say: Cryptorefills prices were not part of our price data of 9 October 2026, so we do not compare them. Our plans start at $1.09, paid from a balance topped up from $10. Every price is on our [pricing page](https://unlistedsim.com/pricing/). ### Does Cryptorefills include a phone number? The Cryptorefills pages we checked did not say. UnlistedSIM sells data only: no number, no calls, no SMS. Keep your home SIM active in dual-SIM mode for bank texts while abroad. Our [phone-number registry](https://unlistedsim.com/esim-phone-numbers/) lists sellers that include or sell a number. ## Sources 1.

Here is how it compares with UnlistedSIM, fact by fact. **Quick answer — What is a good nadanada alternative?** **UnlistedSIM**, a no-ID eSIM seller paid in crypto, is a nadanada alternative for people who want no email at checkout, USDT on a stated network (TRC-20 or ERC-20), and published country ID rules before paying. nadanada says "No KYC", starts "from $0.99" and takes Lightning and Monero; we take neither.

In esimdb data of 9 October 2026, its 1 GB/7 days plan cost $0.99 to $1.99 in 14 destinations, including the United States, France, Spain, Germany and the Europe region. - **Often the lowest among sellers without an account.** Against PikaSim, Bitrefill and Silent.link, nadanada had the lowest price in 80 of 100 price cells (25 destinations at 1, 5, 10 and 20 GB), per esimdb. - **Lightning and Monero.** It accepts Lightning, Bitcoin, USDT, USDC and XMR, plus cards through Stripe. - **Wide coverage.** It declares 200+ countries. - **Community history.** The LNVPN eSIM page now redirects to nadanada. A tester on the official GrapheneOS forum posted results on 21 May 2026 for several no-KYC eSIM sellers, including Silent.link, VoidMob, LNVPN (now nadanada) and PikaSim; read the thread for each result. ## Where does UnlistedSIM differ from nadanada? We do not try to beat nadanada on small-plan prices. We differ on what is written down before you pay: - **No email, stated.** Our checkout asks for no email: a random account number is the login, and an email in the client area stays optional. For nadanada, we could not verify whether an email is asked. - **Networks stated.** USDT on TRC-20 or ERC-20 and USDC on ERC-20, at the same price as every other coin. - **Country rules.** The [Travel eSIM ID Registry](https://unlistedsim.com/travel-esim-id-registry/) lists the SIM ID rules of 34 countries with sources. If a local network ever required an ID check for a destination, that plan page would say so before you pay. - **A written refund rule.** A never-installed eSIM is credited back to the balance. We found no refund rule for nadanada in the sources we checked. - **A written data list.** See [what we collect](https://unlistedsim.com/what-we-collect/), field by field. The trade-offs: no Lightning, no Monero, no card, and a minimum top-up of $10. ## nadanada or UnlistedSIM: who should pick which? - **Pick nadanada** for the lowest price on a small plan, or to pay with Lightning, Monero or a card. - **Pick UnlistedSIM** to pay USDT on a stated network with no email asked, and to check country ID rules and the refund rule before paying. - **Compare** our prices on the [pricing page](https://unlistedsim.com/pricing/) and every seller on our [no-KYC eSIM comparison](https://unlistedsim.com/best-no-kyc-esim/). ## nadanada alternative: FAQ ### Is nadanada the same as LNVPN? The LNVPN eSIM page now leads there: on 9 October 2026, lnvpn.net/esim redirected to nadanada.me/esim. We have not checked how the two services are related beyond that redirect. Some forum posts still name LNVPN, such as the results a tester posted on the official GrapheneOS forum on 21 May 2026. ### Does nadanada require ID? nadanada says "No KYC" (checked 9 October 2026). We could not verify whether it asks for an email. UnlistedSIM asks for no ID and no email at checkout: a random account number is the login. No-KYC covers the purchase only; the visited network still sees your device identifier (IMEI) and approximate location. ### Is nadanada cheaper than UnlistedSIM? Often, on small plans. nadanada starts "from $0.99", and in esimdb data its 1 GB/7 days plan cost $0.99 to $1.99 in 14 destinations. UnlistedSIM starts at $1.09, with a first top-up of at least $10. We do not claim the lowest price; we publish country rules and a refund rule instead. ### Does UnlistedSIM accept Lightning or Monero like nadanada? No. We don't accept Monero (XMR), and our Bitcoin payments are on-chain only, with no Lightning. We accept Bitcoin (BTC), Tether (USDT), USD Coin (USDC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Litecoin (LTC). If you need Lightning or Monero, nadanada, Silent.link and PikaSim accept both, per their sites. With us, the balance is credited after the network confirmations of the coin you send. ### Which USDT network does nadanada accept? nadanada lists USDT and USDC, but the sources we checked did not state the network. Sending a stablecoin on the wrong network can lose the funds, so check at checkout. UnlistedSIM accepts USDT on TRC-20 or ERC-20 and USDC on ERC-20, at the same price. ### Does nadanada offer refunds or phone numbers? We found no refund rule and no phone-number offer in the nadanada pages we checked on 9 October 2026. UnlistedSIM sells data only, with no number. An eSIM that was never installed, or could not be delivered, is credited back to your balance; an installed eSIM is not refunded. ## Sources 1.

PikaSim does several things we do not, and they matter to privacy-minded buyers: - **No signup at all.** PikaSim says "no signup, no email, and no ID check". There is no account to tie orders together. - **Monero and Zcash.** It accepts XMR and ZEC, plus Bitcoin on-chain and Lightning, through a BTCPay server it hosts itself. More than 50 altcoins go through BTCPay and the Trocador exchange. - **Refunds in crypto.** PikaSim refunds even when you paid in crypto. The refund is paid in BTC or over Lightning, for the amount in USD. - **A card option.** Cards go through Stripe, for people who do not hold crypto. - **Exit shown before connecting.** In the community discussions listed in our sources, PikaSim is credited with showing the exit before you connect. We have not verified this on its site. - **Coverage.** It declares 190+ countries. ## Where does UnlistedSIM differ from PikaSim? UnlistedSIM is built for a different buyer: someone who holds common coins and wants the rules written down before paying. - **Coins paid directly.** USDT on TRC-20 or ERC-20, USDC on ERC-20, ETH, SOL, LTC and Bitcoin on-chain, all at the same price. No exchange step. - **Country rules first.** The [Travel eSIM ID Registry](https://unlistedsim.com/travel-esim-id-registry/) shows what 34 countries require, with sources and check dates. - **What we keep, in writing.** Our [list of what we collect](https://unlistedsim.com/what-we-collect/) goes field by field. Visitor IP addresses are not written to our web server access logs and are never attached to an account. - **A balance, not a one-off payment.** You top up once (minimum $10) and buy eSIMs and top-ups from it. The balance never expires, but it is not refundable. We are frank about the trade-offs. We have an account, PikaSim has none. We take no Monero and no card. Our refunds go back to the balance, not to your wallet. ## PikaSim or UnlistedSIM: who should pick which? - **Pick PikaSim** if you want no account at all, pay in Monero or Zcash, want a refund paid back in crypto, or need a card option. - **Pick UnlistedSIM** if you pay with USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL or LTC, want to check country ID rules before buying, and are fine with a prepaid balance from $10. - **Either works** if you only need data, no ID and no email. Compare the Japan prices above on the day you buy, and see the [full comparison of no-KYC sellers](https://unlistedsim.com/best-no-kyc-esim/). ## PikaSim alternative: FAQ ### Does PikaSim require an account or ID? No. PikaSim says "no signup, no email, and no ID check" (checked 9 October 2026). UnlistedSIM also asks for no ID and no email at checkout, but it gives you a random account number as a login. That account holds your balance, your eSIMs and their QR codes, so there is still an account, even if it holds no name, and no email unless you choose to add one for receipts or recovery. ### Does UnlistedSIM accept Monero like PikaSim? No. We don't accept Monero (XMR) or Zcash (ZEC). PikaSim accepts both, through its own BTCPay server. We accept Bitcoin (BTC), Tether (USDT), USD Coin (USDC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Litecoin (LTC). If Monero is essential for you, PikaSim, Silent.link, nadanada and Stellar eSim list it. Our [pay privately](https://unlistedsim.com/pay-privately/) page explains what each coin we accept reveals. ### Does PikaSim refund eSIMs paid in crypto? Yes. PikaSim refunds even when you paid in crypto, in BTC or over Lightning, for the amount in USD (its FAQ, checked 9 October 2026). At UnlistedSIM, an eSIM that was never installed, or could not be delivered, is credited back to your balance. An installed eSIM is not refunded, and the balance is not refundable. ### Is PikaSim cheaper than UnlistedSIM for Japan? Compare the listed prices. On 9 October 2026, PikaSim listed 1 GB for 7 days at $3.33 and 5 GB for 30 days at $10.10. UnlistedSIM's Japan plans start at $2.09, shown in the table above from our live catalogue. Remember our first top-up is at least $10. ### Does PikaSim include a phone number? Not with its data eSIM, per its site: PikaSim sells a private SMS service separately. Sources differ on its US plans: another source we read mentions SMS and calls there, which we could not verify. UnlistedSIM sells data only: no phone number, no calls, no SMS. Keep your home SIM active in dual-SIM mode to receive bank texts while you travel. Our [phone-number registry](https://unlistedsim.com/esim-phone-numbers/) compares other sellers. ### Which country will my IP address be in? PikaSim is credited, in community discussions, with showing the exit before you connect; we have not verified it. UnlistedSIM has not published its exit country per plan yet. It depends on whether a plan is routed home to its issuer or out locally. Our [exit-IP registry](https://unlistedsim.com/exit-ip-registry/) will publish measured results. ## Sources 1.

Usually, on listed prices. In esimdb data of 9 October 2026, Stellar eSim had the lowest price payable in crypto in 95 of 100 price cells, with 1 GB/7 days plans from $0.34 to $1.50. These prices were not verified at Stellar's checkout. UnlistedSIM plans start at $1.09; we do not claim the lowest price. ### Does Stellar eSim need an email? A third party, mybestsim.com, reports that Stellar sends the QR code by email; Stellar's page mentions no ID check. UnlistedSIM asks for no email at checkout or to log in: the QR code and activation code appear in your account, and a random account number is the login. You may add an email in the client area for receipts or recovery; it stays optional. ### Does UnlistedSIM accept Monero like Stellar eSim? No. We don't accept Monero (XMR). Stellar eSim accepts "Bitcoin, Monero and USDT", plus card and PayPal. We accept Bitcoin (BTC), Tether (USDT), USD Coin (USDC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Litecoin (LTC), crypto only. If Monero is a requirement, Stellar eSim, Silent.link, PikaSim and nadanada list it.

No. Stellar eSim includes a VPN; UnlistedSIM does not. An eSIM does not itself provide a VPN tunnel, so use a VPN of your choice if you need encryption or want to choose the country websites see. Our [who sees what](https://unlistedsim.com/who-sees-what/) page explains what the network can see. ### Can I buy a Stellar eSim anonymously? No-KYC checkout does not hide network activity: the visited operator still sees the device identifier (IMEI) and approximate location. Our page on [Is there an anonymous eSIM?](https://unlistedsim.com/anonymous-esim/) explains what is really possible. ### How many countries does Stellar eSim cover? Stellar says "worldwide"; a third party, mybestsim.com, counts 191 countries. We did not verify either figure, and coverage claims are each seller's own.

From $1.09. - URL: https://unlistedsim.com/alternatives/voidmob/ - Last updated: 2026-10-09 - Publisher: UnlistedSIM (https://unlistedsim.com) VoidMob and UnlistedSIM both sell eSIMs paid in crypto, with no ID document and no selfie. Several VoidMob facts come only from a third-party tester, and we say so line by line. **Quick answer — What is a good VoidMob alternative?** **UnlistedSIM**, a no-ID eSIM seller paid in crypto, is a VoidMob alternative for people who want the coins, networks, email rule and country ID rules written down before paying. Both are crypto only, with no ID check. VoidMob sells non-VoIP numbers and, per a forum tester, accepts Monero; we sell data only and don't take Monero. Our plans start at $1.09. ## Key facts (checked 9 October 2026) | Attribute | Value | | --- | --- | | VoidMob checkout | "Zero KYC… no ID, passport, selfie" (VoidMob) | | VoidMob coins | BTC, ETH, SOL "and other major cryptocurrencies" (VoidMob); Monero and stablecoins, per a GrapheneOS forum tester | | VoidMob payment model | Crypto only, per the same tester | | VoidMob numbers | Data-only eSIM (tester); non-VoIP numbers sold separately | | VoidMob coverage | 180+ countries declared | | UnlistedSIM | No ID, no email, account-number login; BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC; data only; no Monero | ## VoidMob vs UnlistedSIM, side by side We sell eSIMs. Our plans are included in this comparison and marked.

VoidMob prices are not compared here: they were not part of our 9 October 2026 price data. ## What does VoidMob do well? VoidMob's strengths, as published or as reported by a tester: - **No ID, no passport, no selfie.** VoidMob describes its eSIMs as "zero KYC". - **Crypto only.** It takes BTC, ETH, SOL and other coins. A tester on the official GrapheneOS forum (21 May 2026) reported that it also accepts Monero and stablecoins, and that it takes crypto only. - **Numbers for those who need them.** VoidMob sells non-VoIP phone numbers separately from its data eSIMs. The tester described the eSIM itself as data only. - **Coverage.** It declares 180+ countries. - **Tested on GrapheneOS.** A tester on the official GrapheneOS forum posted results on 21 May 2026 for several no-KYC eSIM sellers, including Silent.link, VoidMob, LNVPN (now nadanada) and PikaSim; read the thread for each result. ## Where does UnlistedSIM differ from VoidMob? The main difference is what is written on our own site, instead of reported by a third party: - **Coins and networks stated.** Bitcoin (BTC), Tether (USDT), USD Coin (USDC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Litecoin (LTC), each at the same price, with the network named for every stablecoin. - **Email rule stated.** We ask for no email at checkout or to log in: a random account number is the login. Adding an email in the client area is optional. - **Country rules.** The [Travel eSIM ID Registry](https://unlistedsim.com/travel-esim-id-registry/) gives the SIM ID rules of 34 countries, with sources and check dates. - **Refund rule.** A never-installed eSIM is credited back to the balance; an installed eSIM is not refunded. - **Data list.** [What we collect](https://unlistedsim.com/what-we-collect/), field by field. The site runs no analytics and sets no tracking cookies; outside the client area, your browser only remembers your language choice. The trade-offs: we don't accept Monero, and we sell no phone numbers at all. ## VoidMob or UnlistedSIM: who should pick which? - **Pick VoidMob** if you want to pay in Monero, or if you need a separately sold non-VoIP number for receiving texts while you travel. - **Pick UnlistedSIM** if you want USDT on TRC-20 or ERC-20, USDC or LTC, no email, and published country ID rules and refund rules. - **On GrapheneOS**, both can be compared through the forum test in our sources; our [GrapheneOS guide](https://unlistedsim.com/grapheneos-esim/) covers installing our eSIM. ## VoidMob alternative: FAQ ### Does VoidMob require ID? No. VoidMob describes its eSIMs as "zero KYC", with no ID, passport or selfie (checked 9 October 2026). UnlistedSIM asks for no ID and no email at checkout either. In both cases, no-KYC covers the purchase: the visited network still sees your device identifier (IMEI) and approximate location. See [who sees what](https://unlistedsim.com/who-sees-what/). ### Does VoidMob accept Monero? A tester on the official GrapheneOS forum reported that VoidMob accepts Monero and stablecoins (21 May 2026). VoidMob's own eSIM page lists BTC, ETH, SOL "and other major cryptocurrencies". Because the Monero report comes from a third party, check VoidMob's checkout on the day you buy. UnlistedSIM does not accept Monero; we accept Bitcoin (BTC), Tether (USDT), USD Coin (USDC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Litecoin (LTC). ### Does VoidMob include a phone number? Not with the eSIM, per the tester, who described it as data only. VoidMob sells non-VoIP numbers separately. UnlistedSIM sells no numbers at all: keep your home SIM active in dual-SIM mode for bank texts. Our [phone-number registry](https://unlistedsim.com/esim-phone-numbers/) compares sellers that include or sell a number. ### Is VoidMob crypto only, like UnlistedSIM? Yes, per the GrapheneOS forum tester, and VoidMob's eSIM page lists cryptocurrencies as the way to pay. UnlistedSIM is crypto only too: BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC, with a prepaid balance topped up from $10. Neither takes cards in the sources we checked. ### Is VoidMob cheaper than UnlistedSIM? We cannot say: VoidMob prices were not part of our price data of 9 October 2026, so we do not compare them. Our own plans start at $1.09 and every price is on the [pricing page](https://unlistedsim.com/pricing/). Check VoidMob's site on the day you buy. ### Does UnlistedSIM work on GrapheneOS like VoidMob? Our [GrapheneOS guide](https://unlistedsim.com/grapheneos-esim/) explains how to install an UnlistedSIM eSIM on a Pixel running GrapheneOS. A tester on the official GrapheneOS forum posted results on 21 May 2026 for several no-KYC eSIM sellers, including Silent.link, VoidMob, LNVPN (now nadanada) and PikaSim; read the thread for each result, linked below. UnlistedSIM has not published its own GrapheneOS test yet. ## Sources 1. [VoidMob eSIM (zero KYC, accepted coins, numbers)](https://voidmob.com/esim) — VoidMob (checked 2026-10-09) 2.

What no ID or email at checkout changes, and which records remain at UnlistedSIM. - URL: https://unlistedsim.com/anonymous-esim/ - Last updated: 2026-10-15 - Publisher: UnlistedSIM (https://unlistedsim.com) A checkout without a passport or email reduces what the seller collects. It does not remove network identifiers, location records or blockchain transactions. Updated October 2026. **Quick answer — Can you buy an anonymous eSIM?** No. Mobile networks still see device and subscription identifiers and approximate cell location. UnlistedSIM sells an eSIM without ID or email from $1.09, reducing the personal information requested at checkout. Updated October 2026: crypto payment records remain public, account and order records still exist, and the eSIM does not itself provide an end-to-end VPN. ## What does buying without ID change? | Attribute | Value | | --- | --- | | Buy without an ID document or a selfie | Possible: UnlistedSIM asks for neither | | Buy without an email or a phone number | Possible: a random account number is the login; adding an email later is optional | | Pay in crypto | Possible: Bitcoin (BTC), Tether (USDT), USD Coin (USDC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Litecoin (LTC) | | Pay in Monero (XMR) at UnlistedSIM | Not possible: we don't accept it | | Hide your device identifier (IMEI) from the network | Not possible with any SIM or eSIM | | Hide your approximate location from the network | Not possible while the phone is connected | | Encrypt your traffic with the eSIM | Not possible: an eSIM does not itself provide an end-to-end VPN | | Erase a crypto payment | Not possible: public blockchains are permanent | ## Why is no SIM or eSIM anonymous? A mobile network authenticates the subscription and serves the device through nearby cells. This creates identifiers, connection records and an approximate location whether the seller collected a passport or not. A new eSIM changes a subscription, not the phone’s hardware identifiers. A purchase without ID reduces one source of personal data at the seller. It does not guarantee that other records cannot be linked to a person. Payment records, a previously used phone and the accounts used online can each provide separate links. See the [full visibility table](https://unlistedsim.com/who-sees-what/). ## What can you really buy online without ID? A data eSIM with no identity check, no email and a crypto payment. At UnlistedSIM, a no-ID eSIM seller paid in crypto, the purchase works like this: 1. You get a random account number. It is your login: no email or phone number is asked. Adding an email in the client area later is optional. 2. You top up a prepaid balance in crypto (BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC), from $10. 3. You buy an eSIM from the balance. Plans start at $1.09; every price is on the [pricing page](https://unlistedsim.com/pricing/). 4. The QR code and the activation code appear in your account as soon as the eSIM is ready. That is a private checkout. It is not network anonymity. Other sellers also sell without ID, and some of them accept Monero, which we don't. See [no-KYC eSIM sellers compared](https://unlistedsim.com/best-no-kyc-esim/) and [what “no ID” covers, level by level](https://unlistedsim.com/no-kyc-esim/). ## What still identifies a phone with a no-ID eSIM? Six things. A no-ID purchase hides none of them from the party that sees it. ### What identifies a phone, and who sees it | Identifier | What it is | Who sees it | Hidden by a no-ID purchase? | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | IMEI | The phone's own serial number, sent to the network when it connects | The visited network | No: it belongs to the phone, whatever eSIM you install | | IMSI and ICCID | The subscription identity in the eSIM profile (IMSI) and the profile's serial number (ICCID) | The networks; we keep the ICCID with your order | No, but at our end it is linked to an account number, not to a name | | Cell location | The cells (antennas) your phone uses, which give an approximate position | The visited network | No: it is how the network delivers data | | Payment trail | The amount, the time and the sending address of your crypto payment | Anyone, on the public blockchain; the exchange you paid from | No: our checkout is private, the blockchain is public | | IP address | The address your traffic leaves to the internet from | Every website and app you use | No: it belongs to the network that routes your traffic | | Accounts you sign into | Email, messaging, social media and banking apps | Each of those services | No: signing in tells them who you are | The full table, party by party, with what each one keeps and for how long, is on [who sees what](https://unlistedsim.com/who-sees-what/). ## Why doesn't UnlistedSIM call its eSIM anonymous? Because it would be false. We hold records: your account number and balance, your orders with their ICCIDs, the status and data use of each eSIM as reported by our partner network, and your top-ups with their transaction IDs. We also keep the list of devices logged in to your account, and any optional email, password or two-factor setting you add. The networks hold device (IMEI) and location records. We answer only legally binding orders under the law of Panama, where the operating company is registered. So we state exactly what is true: - no ID, no selfie and no email at checkout; - crypto only, and no Monero; - the exact list of what we keep, on [what we collect](https://unlistedsim.com/what-we-collect/); - what we can and cannot hand over, on [law enforcement requests](https://unlistedsim.com/law-enforcement-requests/). ## How can you reduce what a travel eSIM reveals? Use HTTPS and encrypted messaging for supported content. Mobile-link encryption protects the radio segment; it does not hide device identifiers or cell location from the network. A VPN can additionally protect traffic to the VPN endpoint, shifting trust to its provider. The destination and traffic timing or volume can still reveal information. Review app permissions and account sign-ins. Separate user profiles can reduce sharing between apps, but do not hide the phone from the network. Check your exit-IP country after activation, and remember that an active home SIM creates its own roaming records. ## Who is a no-ID eSIM for, and who is it not for? It is for people who do not want to hand an identity document to an online shop. Typical users are travellers, journalists and NGO staff, people who avoid data collection, and users of privacy-focused phones such as GrapheneOS. It is not for fraud, SIM farms, bulk account creation, spam, harassment or evading a court order. Our [acceptable use policy](https://unlistedsim.com/acceptable-use-policy/) forbids those uses. Our eSIMs are data only, with no phone number, so they cannot receive SMS codes. ## What should I know about a no-ID purchase? ### Can I buy an anonymous SIM card online? You can buy from sellers that ask for no identity document, but the phone still connects through networks that record identifiers and cell location. UnlistedSIM offers data eSIMs without ID or email at checkout, from $1.09. Account, order and payment records remain; see [what we collect](https://unlistedsim.com/what-we-collect/). ### Is a no-KYC eSIM anonymous? No. No-KYC means no identity check at purchase. The eSIM still connects through mobile networks that see your device identifier (IMEI), the subscription identity (IMSI) and your approximate location. A crypto payment also stays visible on its public blockchain. At UnlistedSIM the account is a random number, not a name, and we keep the records listed on [what we collect](https://unlistedsim.com/what-we-collect/). ### Does a new eSIM give my phone a new identity? No. The IMEI belongs to the phone, not to the eSIM. If you install a new eSIM on the same phone, the network sees the same IMEI as before. A different eSIM changes the subscription identity (IMSI), and the phone number if there is one. It does not change the device. Our eSIMs are data only, with no phone number. ### Does a VPN make an eSIM anonymous? No. A VPN can protect traffic to its endpoint, while mobile-link encryption and HTTPS serve separate roles. Networks still see device and subscription identifiers, cell location and traffic to the VPN endpoint. The VPN provider can see destination metadata; HTTPS content remains protected where supported. ### Can the police identify the user of a no-ID eSIM? They can request what each party holds. Mobile networks hold device (IMEI) and location records. We hold an account number, orders with ICCIDs, the network-reported status and usage of each eSIM, top-up records with transaction IDs and logged-in devices. We hold no name and no ID, and an email only if you added one. We answer only legally binding orders under the law of Panama, where the operating company is registered. The details are on [law enforcement requests](https://unlistedsim.com/law-enforcement-requests/). We do not help anyone evade the law. ### Can I pay with Monero for more privacy? Not at UnlistedSIM: we don't accept Monero (XMR). We accept Bitcoin (BTC), Tether (USDT), USD Coin (USDC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Litecoin (LTC), which all run on public blockchains. Anyone can see the amount, the time and the sending address of a payment on those chains. Some other no-KYC sellers accept Monero, according to their own sites: see [no-KYC eSIM sellers compared](https://unlistedsim.com/best-no-kyc-esim/). ### Does UnlistedSIM keep logs? We keep account records, not browsing records: your account number, orders, top-ups, the status and data use of each eSIM, your logged-in devices and any optional email you add. Visitor IP addresses are not written to our web server access logs and are never attached to an account. Your traffic does not pass through us, so we cannot see the sites you visit, and our records hold no location history. Every field is listed on [what we collect](https://unlistedsim.com/what-we-collect/). ### Is it legal to use an eSIM bought without ID? We do not give legal conclusions. Check the [country registry](https://unlistedsim.com/travel-esim-id-registry/) for the scope and date of each source. A local line, foreign travel profile, roaming connection and phone-registration requirement can have different rules. Entries marked unknown remain unconfirmed. ## Which sources support this guide? 1.

Competitor details come from their public websites at the date shown above and may have changed since.* ## Checkout privacy: email, account, ID, refunds, routing We sell eSIMs. Our plans are included in this comparison and marked. Quoted words are the seller's own; "tester" means the GrapheneOS forum test of 21 May 2026. | Seller | Email asked | Account | ID check | Refund if the eSIM is not used | Routing or exit IP published | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | UnlistedSIM (ours) | No: not at checkout or to log in; optional in the client area | Yes: a random account number | None | Never installed: credited back to the balance; balance not refundable | Not yet ([exit-IP registry](https://unlistedsim.com/exit-ip-registry/)) | | [Silent.link](https://unlistedsim.com/silent-link-alternative/) | No: "not even an email address" | None: order page only | None: "Zero KYC policy" | — | One exit IP, visible only via support (tester) | | [PikaSim](https://unlistedsim.com/alternatives/pikasim/) | No | None: "no signup" | None: "no ID check" | Yes, even when paid in crypto: in BTC or Lightning | Exit shown before connecting (community reports, not verified) | | [nadanada](https://unlistedsim.com/alternatives/nadanada/) | Not verified | — | "No KYC" | — | — | | [VoidMob](https://unlistedsim.com/alternatives/voidmob/) | — | — | None: "no ID, passport, selfie" | — | — | | [Stellar eSim](https://unlistedsim.com/alternatives/stellar-esim/) | QR sent by email (third party) | — | None mentioned | — | — | | [Cryptorefills](https://unlistedsim.com/alternatives/cryptorefills/) | — | — | "No KYC" | — | — | | Bitrefill | Delivery by email | — | "No verification required" | "Fair Refund Policy" (details not read) | — | *Checked on October 9, 2026.* — = not stated in the sources we checked, which is not the same as "no".

Country counts are what each seller declares; we did not verify them. | Seller | Monero (XMR) | Lightning | USDT on TRC-20 | Phone numbers | Countries declared | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | UnlistedSIM (ours) | No | No | Yes, direct (also ERC-20) | None: data only | 202 covered, 23 with local plans | | [Silent.link](https://unlistedsim.com/silent-link-alternative/) | Yes | Yes | Through an exchange button (Trocador) | US.PLUS (+1, incoming SMS only) and IDENTITY (+1, +44) | 160+ (184 in its rates grid) | | [PikaSim](https://unlistedsim.com/alternatives/pikasim/) | Yes | Yes | Yes: "USDT on Tron" | Private SMS service sold separately; sources differ on its US plans | 190+ | | [nadanada](https://unlistedsim.com/alternatives/nadanada/) | Yes | Yes | USDT accepted, network not stated | — | 200+ | | [VoidMob](https://unlistedsim.com/alternatives/voidmob/) | Yes, per a tester | — | Stablecoins per a tester, network not stated | Non-VoIP numbers sold separately | 180+ | | [Stellar eSim](https://unlistedsim.com/alternatives/stellar-esim/) | Yes | — | USDT accepted, network not stated | Data only (third party) | "Worldwide"; 191 per a third party | | [Cryptorefills](https://unlistedsim.com/alternatives/cryptorefills/) | Not in the coin list we read (checked 2026-10-09) | Yes | Yes: Tron listed | — | 180+ | | Bitrefill | Not in the coin list we read (checked 2026-10-09) | Yes | USDT accepted, network not stated | None: "No calls/SMS" | 190+ | *Checked on October 9, 2026.* For Cryptorefills and Bitrefill, Monero (XMR) is not in the coin list we read on their eSIM pages; Cryptorefills adds "and others", so check the checkout. PikaSim: its site sells an SMS service separately, and another source we read mentions SMS and calls on its US plans (not verified). — = not stated in the sources we checked. ## How we chose the criteria We kept the questions that change what a seller can know about you, or what happens when something goes wrong. Each one is checked on the seller's own pages, or on a named third party when the seller says nothing. - **Email asked.** An email address is often linked to a real name elsewhere. We check whether it is required, and how the QR code is delivered. - **Account.** An account ties your orders together. "No account" (Silent.link, PikaSim) and "an account number, with no email required" (UnlistedSIM) are different, so we say which. - **ID check at checkout.** The core of "no-KYC": no ID document, no selfie, no ID number. - **Monero and Lightning.** People who care most about payment privacy ask for them first. We say plainly that we accept neither. - **USDT on TRC-20.** Sellers rarely say which network they accept, and coins sent on the wrong network can be lost. We list the network when the seller states it. - **Refund rule.** What happens to your money if the eSIM cannot be installed. - **Phone numbers.** Most no-KYC eSIMs are data only; a few sell numbers separately. - **Routing or exit IP.** Which country websites will see. Privacy communities ask for it, and almost no one publishes it. - **Countries declared.** The seller's own count, which we did not verify. We did not score speed, 5G or customer service: we have no measured data for any seller, including ourselves. ## Which no-KYC eSIM should you choose? Pick by the one thing you cannot give up: - **You must pay in Monero.** Silent.link, PikaSim, nadanada and Stellar eSim accept XMR, per their sites; VoidMob does too, per a GrapheneOS forum tester. We don't accept Monero. - **You want no account at all.** Silent.link (the order page is the only access) or PikaSim ("no signup"). - **You want a refund paid back in crypto.** PikaSim refunds in BTC or Lightning, even when you paid in crypto. - **You want the lowest data price.** Stellar eSim lists the lowest prices payable in crypto in most destinations, per esimdb. nadanada is often the lowest among sellers without an account. - **You need a number that receives texts while you travel.** Silent.link's US.PLUS, or the numbers PikaSim and VoidMob sell separately. See our [phone-number registry](https://unlistedsim.com/esim-phone-numbers/). - **You pay with USDT on Tron, USDC, SOL or LTC, want no email, and want to check country rules first.** That is what UnlistedSIM is built for. Plans start at $1.09; see the [pricing page](https://unlistedsim.com/pricing/). - **You pay with DAI, TON, Base or Arbitrum.** Cryptorefills lists the most networks. ## Which no-KYC eSIM is the cheapest? In esimdb data of 9 October 2026, **Stellar eSim** had the lowest price payable in crypto in 95 of 100 price cells: 25 destinations, at 1, 5, 10 and 20 GB. Its 1 GB/7 days plans ranged from $0.34 to $1.50. Stellar's site loads prices with JavaScript, so these prices were not verified at checkout. Among four sellers without an account (nadanada, PikaSim, Bitrefill and Silent.link), **nadanada** had the lowest price in 80 of the same 100 cells. In 14 destinations, its 1 GB/7 days plan cost $0.99 to $1.99. UnlistedSIM does not claim the lowest price. Our listed prices are usually higher than Stellar eSim's. We compete on what is written down: no email, coins paid directly on the network you use, and published country rules. Every plan is on the [pricing page](https://unlistedsim.com/pricing/). ### Japan, smallest plan: listed prices We sell eSIMs. Our plans are included in this comparison and marked. | Seller | Smallest Japan plan | Where the price comes from | | --- | --- | --- | | UnlistedSIM (ours) | $2.09 (1 GB · 7 days) | Our live catalogue | | nadanada | $2.99 (1 GB, 7 days) | esimdb, not verified at checkout | | PikaSim | $3.33 (1 GB, 7 days) | pikasim.com/esim-japan | | Silent.link | $9 for the first 1 GB ($4 eSIM + $5 balance), then $3.46/GB | Silent.link rates grid | *Checked on October 9, 2026.* UnlistedSIM also requires a first top-up of at least $10; what is not spent stays on the balance. ## What does "no-KYC" cover, and what doesn't it? No-KYC covers identity verification at purchase. Networks still see subscription and device identifiers and approximate location. It does not itself provide a VPN tunnel. Read [Is there an anonymous eSIM?](https://unlistedsim.com/anonymous-esim/) for the honest answer and [who sees what](https://unlistedsim.com/who-sees-what/) for each party. Country activation rules depend on the profile. The [country registry](https://unlistedsim.com/travel-esim-id-registry/) distinguishes local subscriptions, travel eSIM purchase and foreign roaming without treating unknown requirements as exemptions. ## Best no-KYC eSIM: FAQ ### Is a no-KYC eSIM anonymous? No. No-KYC describes checkout only. The visited network still sees subscription and device identifiers and approximate location. Public blockchains also leave a payment record. Compare the [data list](https://unlistedsim.com/what-we-collect/) and [who sees what](https://unlistedsim.com/who-sees-what/) before deciding whether a seller meets your privacy needs. ### What is a private eSIM? A private eSIM is usually a data eSIM bought without an ID check, often without an email, and paid in crypto. Privacy stops at the purchase: the mobile network still sees your device identifier (IMEI) and approximate location, and the coins we accept run on public blockchains. The sellers above differ on what they ask and keep; UnlistedSIM asks for no ID, no selfie and no email at checkout. Each party is listed on [who sees what](https://unlistedsim.com/who-sees-what/). ### Which no-KYC eSIM accepts Monero? Silent.link, PikaSim, nadanada and Stellar eSim list Monero (XMR) on their sites, checked 9 October 2026. A GrapheneOS forum tester reported that VoidMob accepts it too. UnlistedSIM does not accept Monero; we accept Bitcoin (BTC), Tether (USDT), USD Coin (USDC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Litecoin (LTC). The dated list, with sources: [Which eSIM sellers accept Monero?](https://unlistedsim.com/pay-privately/monero/) ### Which no-KYC eSIM needs no account? Silent.link and PikaSim. At Silent.link the order page is the only access; PikaSim says "no signup, no email". UnlistedSIM has an account: a random account number is the login. No email is asked at checkout or needed to log in; you may add one in the client area for receipts, reminders or recovery of the account number, and it stays optional. The account holds your balance, orders and QR codes. ### Which no-KYC eSIM accepts USDT on TRC-20? Three sellers state it directly: PikaSim ("USDT on Tron"), Cryptorefills (Tron listed) and UnlistedSIM, which accepts USDT on TRC-20 or ERC-20 at the same price. Silent.link takes USDT through an exchange button. nadanada, Stellar eSim and Bitrefill accept USDT without stating the network in the sources we checked. ### Can I get a refund on a no-KYC eSIM? It depends on the seller. PikaSim refunds even when you paid in crypto, in BTC or Lightning. At UnlistedSIM, not to your wallet: an eSIM that was never installed, or could not be delivered, is credited back to your balance; an installed eSIM is not refunded, and the balance is not refundable. For the other sellers we found no written rule. ### Do no-KYC eSIMs include a phone number? Usually not. Most are data only, including UnlistedSIM. Silent.link sells a +1 number for incoming SMS (US.PLUS, $93 a year plus a $5 balance) and IDENTITY plans with +1 or +44 numbers. PikaSim and VoidMob sell numbers separately. Our [phone-number registry](https://unlistedsim.com/esim-phone-numbers/) lists more sellers. ### Which no-KYC eSIM is the cheapest? In esimdb data of 9 October 2026, Stellar eSim had the lowest price payable in crypto in 95 of 100 price cells, not verified at checkout. Among sellers without an account, nadanada was lowest in 80 of 100 cells. UnlistedSIM does not claim the lowest price; our plans start at $1.09. ### Does a no-KYC eSIM work everywhere without ID? Not always. A seller controls its own checkout, not the law of the country you visit. Some countries require registration for local SIM cards, and a few networks may ask for more. Our [Travel eSIM ID Registry](https://unlistedsim.com/travel-esim-id-registry/) lists the rules of 34 countries with sources. If a local network ever required an ID check for a destination, that plan page would say so before you pay. ### Is this comparison independent? No. UnlistedSIM sells eSIMs, our plans are included and marked, and we rank ourselves first for one stated need. To keep it checkable, every seller is judged on the same criteria, every fact is dated and sourced, and we say where others do better: Monero, no account at all, crypto refunds and lower listed prices. ### Which no-KYC eSIM works on GrapheneOS? A tester on the official GrapheneOS forum posted results on 21 May 2026 for several no-KYC eSIM sellers, including Silent.link, VoidMob, LNVPN (now nadanada) and PikaSim; read the thread for each result, linked in our sources. UnlistedSIM has not published its own GrapheneOS test yet. Our [GrapheneOS eSIM guide](https://unlistedsim.com/grapheneos-esim/) explains how to install an UnlistedSIM eSIM there. ## Sources 1.

Data only, crypto only; sourced country ID rules and privacy limits. --- # UnlistedSIM changelog > UnlistedSIM content changelog: October 2026 country evidence, no-ID checkout guides and Europe consolidation. Prices from $1.09; dated changes explained. - URL: https://unlistedsim.com/changelog/ - Last updated: 2026-10-15 - Publisher: UnlistedSIM (https://unlistedsim.com) Every change that affects a fact on this site: prices, plans, registries and policies. A page date changes only when a fact on that page changes. **Quick answer — What has changed on UnlistedSIM?** UnlistedSIM offers an eSIM without ID or email at checkout, from $1.09. On 15 October 2026 its country registry separated local SIM identification, travel eSIM purchase and foreign roaming, and European country content was consolidated. This is a record of content revisions, not evidence of a public launch or measured network tests. ## What changed on 15 October 2026? The [SIM and eSIM ID rules by country (2026)](https://unlistedsim.com/travel-esim-id-registry/) separates local subscriptions, travel eSIM purchase and foreign roaming. Unknown requirements are labelled explicitly; device-registration exemptions are not described as identity exemptions. The [No-ID eSIM in Europe guide](https://unlistedsim.com/europe-mobile-data-without-id/) brings the common roaming explanation together while keeping local ID requirements separate. Country pages retain country-specific facts and links to the common guides; European country pages are excluded from search indexes. Privacy guides now open with concise answers. The facts page and machine-readable summaries use the same checkout limitations. The account configuration disables referrals. Prices and plan allowances have not changed. ## Changelog in brief | Attribute | Value | | --- | --- | | Initial content baseline | 9 October 2026; no public launch verified here | | Country pages at launch | 33, each with its plans and SIM ID rules | | Prices as of | October 9, 2026 | | Content revisions recorded | 14 and 15 October 2026 | | Next scheduled publication | First transparency report, January 2027 | | Dating rule | A page date changes only when a fact on that page changes | ## 14 October 2026: country pages, Taiwan and four guides - **Country pages moved** from /esim// to /id-rules//, for example [Do you need ID for an eSIM in Japan?](https://unlistedsim.com/id-rules/japan/). They now open with a direct answer and add three sections: whether a local SIM can be bought without ID, which country your IP address will be in, and whether the eSIM has a phone number. The full plan table gave way to a link to the plans. - **Taiwan added** to the [Travel eSIM ID Registry](https://unlistedsim.com/travel-esim-id-registry/), now 34 countries. Its local SIM rule is not sourced yet, so the [Taiwan page](https://unlistedsim.com/id-rules/taiwan/) states none and is kept out of search indexes. - **Kept out of search indexes** until they hold more country-specific sourced facts: Australia, Singapore, Nigeria, South Africa, Canada and Colombia, plus Belgium and Cyprus as before. Their content and our checkout do not change. - **New guides:** [Why do some eSIM sellers ask for ID verification?](https://unlistedsim.com/esim-id-verification/), [Where can you buy a SIM card without ID?](https://unlistedsim.com/sim-card-without-id/), [Which eSIM sellers accept Monero?](https://unlistedsim.com/pay-privately/monero/) and [Is a no-ID eSIM legal?](https://unlistedsim.com/is-no-id-esim-legal/). - **Europe:** the regional Europe page is kept out of search indexes; [mobile data in Europe without ID](https://unlistedsim.com/europe-mobile-data-without-id/) is the Europe page, with the Europe plans. - **No price, plan or policy changed.** ## 9 October 2026: initial content baseline **Store** - Data-only eSIMs for 23 countries with their own plans, plus a [Europe eSIM](https://unlistedsim.com/regions/europe/) (49 countries) and a [global eSIM](https://unlistedsim.com/regions/world/), from $1.09. Prices as of October 9, 2026, on the [pricing page](https://unlistedsim.com/pricing/) and in [pricing.json](https://unlistedsim.com/pricing.json). - On each country page, the network the eSIM connects to there: the largest network in the country, for example Orange in France. - Checkout with no ID, no selfie and no email; a random account number as the login. - Payment in Bitcoin (BTC), Tether (USDT), USD Coin (USDC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Litecoin (LTC), from a prepaid balance (minimum $10). Monero (XMR) is not accepted. **Registries and trackers** - [Travel eSIM ID Registry](https://unlistedsim.com/travel-esim-id-registry/): local SIM rules and travel eSIM status, country by country, with sources and check dates. - [eSIM restrictions tracker](https://unlistedsim.com/esim-restrictions-tracker/), [who sees what](https://unlistedsim.com/who-sees-what/), and the [exit-IP registry](https://unlistedsim.com/exit-ip-registry/) page, which says plainly that routing data per plan is not yet published. - 34 [country pages](https://unlistedsim.com/destinations/), each with its plans and SIM ID rules. **Guides** - [How it works](https://unlistedsim.com/how-it-works/), [eSIM in China](https://unlistedsim.com/esim-china-google-whatsapp/), [eSIMs in Turkey](https://unlistedsim.com/turkey-esim-restrictions/), [Europe without ID](https://unlistedsim.com/europe-mobile-data-without-id/), [long stays](https://unlistedsim.com/long-stays/), [devices](https://unlistedsim.com/devices/), [paying privately](https://unlistedsim.com/pay-privately/), [GrapheneOS](https://unlistedsim.com/grapheneos-esim/) and [travel routers](https://unlistedsim.com/travel-router-esim/). **Comparisons** - [Best no-KYC eSIM](https://unlistedsim.com/best-no-kyc-esim/), [Silent.link alternative](https://unlistedsim.com/silent-link-alternative/), the [alternatives](https://unlistedsim.com/alternatives/) pages and [eSIMs with a phone number](https://unlistedsim.com/esim-phone-numbers/), each with check dates and our disclosure. **Policies** - [What we collect](https://unlistedsim.com/what-we-collect/), [data retention](https://unlistedsim.com/data-retention/), [law enforcement requests](https://unlistedsim.com/law-enforcement-requests/), [transparency report](https://unlistedsim.com/transparency-report/) (first report: January 2027), [refunds](https://unlistedsim.com/refunds/), [terms of sale](https://unlistedsim.com/legal/terms/), [privacy policy](https://unlistedsim.com/legal/privacy/) and [acceptable use policy](https://unlistedsim.com/acceptable-use-policy/). ## What is not published yet? These facts are not on the site yet because they are not confirmed: we write "not yet published" rather than guess. Each one will appear here, with its date, when it is published. - **Exit-IP country and routing per plan** (home routing or local breakout). - **Whether a plan reaches 5G** (its network generation). - **Hotspot rule** per plan. - **Speed after the fair-use allowance** of unlimited plans (fair use: 2 GB a day at full speed). - **Whether Google and WhatsApp work in China** on our plans: not tested yet. - **Long stays:** whether our partner networks restrict a line that stays in roaming for months. We found no published rule for this case (checked 9 October 2026). - **Retention periods** of the optional email and of the logged-in devices list: no separate period is published yet. - **QR code re-issue policy** after a profile is deleted. - **The first transparency report**, due in January 2027 (period: launch to 31 December 2026). ## How do we date changes? A date on this site means that something changed. - **Page dates** change only when a fact on the page changes, never to look fresh. - **Registry rows** carry their own check date. A row checked again without any change keeps its fact and gets the new check date. - **Prices** carry the date of the price list, now October 9, 2026. - **This changelog** lists every change that affects a fact: a price, a plan, a registry row, a policy or a claim. Spelling fixes and layout changes are not listed. ## Changelog: FAQ ### When did UnlistedSIM launch? This changelog records the initial content baseline of 9 October 2026 and revisions on 14 and 15 October. It does not verify a public launch or successful orders. ### Why does a page show an old date? Because nothing on it has changed since that date. We change a page date only when a fact on that page changes, so the date tells you when the content was last true as written. Registry rows also show the date each source was last checked. ### How will I know if a price changes? The new prices appear on the [pricing page](https://unlistedsim.com/pricing/), on each destination page and in [pricing.json](https://unlistedsim.com/pricing.json) at the same time, with a new price date, and the change is listed here. The prices shown now are those of October 9, 2026. ### How will I know if a policy changes? The policy page gets a new date, and this changelog lists what changed and when. That covers the [terms of sale](https://unlistedsim.com/legal/terms/), the [privacy policy](https://unlistedsim.com/legal/privacy/), the [refund rule](https://unlistedsim.com/refunds/), [what we collect](https://unlistedsim.com/what-we-collect/) and the [acceptable use policy](https://unlistedsim.com/acceptable-use-policy/). The terms in force on the day you buy an eSIM apply to that purchase. ### When will the exit-IP data be published? No date is set. The exit-IP country and the routing of each plan are not yet published, and the [exit-IP registry](https://unlistedsim.com/exit-ip-registry/) says so instead of guessing. Until then, we promise no exit-IP country for any plan. When the data is published, it will be listed here with its date. ### When is the first transparency report? The first report is due in January 2027 and will cover the period from launch to 31 December 2026. It will count the requests received and how we answered them, with real figures only. It will be listed here when it is published. --- UnlistedSIM: UnlistedSIM offers an eSIM without ID or email at checkout, from $1.09.

Never send us your account number or your QR code by email. **Quick answer** To contact **UnlistedSIM**, a no-ID eSIM seller paid in crypto, email **support@unlistedsim.com**. We reply within 12 hours, 7 days a week, including help with installing your eSIM. Questions about a specific order go through the client area, where you are signed in with your account number: we never ask for it by email. Courts and authorities follow the [law enforcement requests](https://unlistedsim.com/law-enforcement-requests/) page. No ID and no name are needed to get help. ## Contacts at a glance | Attribute | Value | | --- | --- | | Support email | support@unlistedsim.com | | Reply time | Replies within 12 hours, 7 days a week | | Help with installation and activation | Yes, by email | | Questions about a specific order | From the client area, signed in with your account number | | Never send us | Your account number, your QR code or activation code, a private key or a seed phrase | | Legal requests | See [law enforcement requests](https://unlistedsim.com/law-enforcement-requests/) | | Language | English | | Operator | eSIMGoat LLC, registered in Panama | ## How do I get help with my eSIM? Write to **support@unlistedsim.com**. Email replies within 12 hours, 7 days a week, including help with installing and activating your eSIM. A message we can answer quickly includes: - **your phone model** and its system version, for example iPhone 15 on iOS 26; - **the destination and the plan**, for example Japan, 5 GB for 30 days; - **the step that fails** and what the phone shows, with the exact error message; - **where you are**: at home before the trip, or already abroad; - **for a payment**: the coin, the network, the amount sent and the transaction ID. Never a private key or a seed phrase. Screenshots help, but crop out the QR code and the activation code: anyone who has them can try to install your eSIM. ## Why do questions about an order go through the client area? Because an email cannot prove that you own an account, and we do not want you to send us the one thing that does. We never ask for your account number or your eSIM activation code (QR code) by email or chat. Your account holds no name, and no email unless you chose to add one in the client area. Even then, an email message does not prove who holds the account number. When you write from the client area, signed in with your account number, the order is already identified, and nothing sensitive travels by email. Use the client area for: - an eSIM that has not appeared after a top-up was credited; - a request to credit back an eSIM you never installed ([refunds](https://unlistedsim.com/refunds/)); - a top-up sent with a different amount, which cannot be matched automatically; - the deletion of your account: on request from your account, at any time; the account number, its orders and its balance are then erased. ## What will UnlistedSIM never ask you? We never ask for your account number or your eSIM activation code (QR code) by email or chat. We also never ask for: - an ID document, an ID number, a selfie or a face scan; - your name, your phone number or your postal address; - card or bank details; - a crypto private key, a seed phrase or a wallet password. A message that asks for any of these is not from us, even if it uses our name. Do not answer it, and do not follow its links. ## How do courts and authorities send a legal request? By following the [law enforcement requests](https://unlistedsim.com/law-enforcement-requests/) page. We answer only legally binding orders under the law of Panama, where the operating company is registered. What we could hand over is limited to what we hold: the account number, orders, balance, the status and data used of each eSIM, the logged-in devices list and payment records, plus an email only if the customer added one. We hold no name or ID document linked to an account, as listed on [what we collect](https://unlistedsim.com/what-we-collect/). Requests will be counted in the [transparency report](https://unlistedsim.com/transparency-report/); the first one (launch to 31 December 2026) is due in January 2027. ## How do I report misuse of an UnlistedSIM eSIM? Write to support@unlistedsim.com with the facts you can share: what happened, when, and why you think an UnlistedSIM eSIM is involved. You do not need to be a customer. Fraud, SIM farms, bulk account creation, spam and harassment are forbidden by the [acceptable use policy](https://unlistedsim.com/acceptable-use-policy/). An eSIM used that way can be suspended without refund of the plan. ## Contact: FAQ ### How fast does UnlistedSIM support reply? Email replies within 12 hours, 7 days a week, including help with installing and activating your eSIM. A message with the phone model, the destination, the plan and the exact error gets a useful answer faster. If the question is about a specific order, send it from the client area, so that we can see the order without asking for your account number. ### Can support help me install or activate my eSIM? Yes. Email replies within 12 hours, 7 days a week, including help with installing and activating your eSIM. Tell us the phone model, the system version, the step that fails and what the screen shows. Write before you travel if you can: installing at home, on Wi-Fi, leaves time to fix a problem. Never send the QR code itself; describe it instead. ### Can I send you my account number so you find my order faster? Please do not. We never ask for your account number or your eSIM activation code (QR code) by email or chat. Write from the client area instead: you are already signed in there, so the order is identified without your account number travelling by email. An email message cannot prove that you own an account. ### I received a message that claims to be from UnlistedSIM. Is it real? Check what it asks for. We never ask for your account number, your QR code or activation code, an ID document, card details, a private key or a seed phrase. If a message asks for any of these, or links to a page that does, it is not from us. Do not answer it, and do not follow its links. ### Do I need to give my name or email to contact support? No name is needed. To write by email, you use an email address, and we receive it with your message; an address that does not identify you is fine. We never need your identity to answer, and for order questions the client area avoids email entirely. ### Where is UnlistedSIM based? UnlistedSIM is operated by eSIMGoat LLC, a company registered in Panama. We answer only legally binding orders under the law of Panama, where the operating company is registered. Customers can be anywhere: support works by email and through the client area.

Orders are kept as long as your account exists, so the QR code can be shown again and refunds can be credited, then deleted with the account; the table gives the period for every other item. The periods come from our published rules, word for word. We do not add durations those rules do not give. ### Retention, item by item | Item | Kept? | How long | What deletion does | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Account number | Yes | As long as the account exists | Erased | | Balance | Yes | As long as the account exists; it never expires | Erased, and not refunded | | Orders: plan, destination, ICCID, QR code and activation code | Yes | Order records are kept as long as your account exists, so the QR code can be shown again and refunds can be credited, then deleted with the account | Erased | | Top-ups: coin, network, exact amount, transaction ID | Yes | Kept with the balance history; no separate period published | Not named separately in the published deletion rule | | eSIM status, first-connection date, expiry date and data used (reported by our partner network) | Yes | No separate retention period published | Not named separately in the published deletion rule | | Optional email address | Only if you add it | No separate retention period published; you can remove it in the client area | Not named in the published deletion rule | | Optional password (stored hashed) and two-factor setting | Only if you set them | No separate retention period published | Not named in the published deletion rule | | Logged-in devices: device name, first and last activity | Yes | No retention period published yet | Not named in the published deletion rule | | Support emails | Only if you write | No retention period published yet | Not named in the account deletion rule | | IP addresses | No | Visitor IP addresses are not written to our web server access logs and are never attached to an account | Nothing attached to your account | | Analytics and tracking cookies | No | The site runs no analytics and sets no tracking cookies; outside the client area, your browser only remembers your language choice | Clear the language setting in your browser | | Name, phone number, address, ID document, selfie, date of birth | Never asked | — | Nothing to delete | | Location history and browsing | Not in our records | Location data sits with the mobile networks, under their own policies | Not in our hands | | Your crypto transaction | Public, not ours | Permanently, on its blockchain | Nobody can delete it | ## What does deleting my UnlistedSIM account remove? The account number, its orders and its balance. Deletion is possible on request from your account, at any time; the account number, its orders and its balance are then erased. After deletion, the QR code can no longer be shown again. Top-ups can no longer be applied, and refunds can no longer be credited, because those records are gone. Any remaining balance is erased and is not refunded, so spend it first. ## What stays after I delete my account? Things that are not account records, and account records the published deletion rule does not name: - **The blockchain transaction.** It is public and permanent; nobody can edit it. - **Records held by others.** Mobile networks, exchanges and the apps you use keep their own data under their own rules. See [who sees what](https://unlistedsim.com/who-sees-what/). - **Top-up records** (coin, network, amount, transaction ID). The deletion rule names the account number, its orders and its balance, not the top-up records, so we do not promise that they are erased. - **Other items the rule does not name**: the network-reported status and usage of each eSIM, the optional email, password and two-factor setting, and the logged-in devices list. This page makes no promise about them either. - **Support emails, if you wrote any.** They sit in our mailbox, and the account deletion rule does not name them. No retention period is published for them yet. ## Why are orders kept for the life of the account? Because the account must keep working after payment. Orders let us show the QR code again and apply top-ups to the right eSIM. They also let us credit an eSIM that was never installed back to your balance. A short fixed period would break those three things while you still use the eSIM. The content of each order is listed on [what we collect](https://unlistedsim.com/what-we-collect/). ## Is there a fixed retention period, such as one year? No. Order records follow the account: they stay while it exists, and they are deleted with it. No timer deletes the orders of an account you still use. If you want them gone sooner, delete the account. If our rules change, this page will change with them. ## What about IP addresses and cookies? Visitor IP addresses are not written to our web server access logs and are never attached to an account. The site runs no analytics and sets no tracking cookies; outside the client area, your browser only remembers your language choice. So there is no IP history attached to your account to keep, to delete or to hand over. Your internet provider, or your VPN, keeps its own records under its own policy. UnlistedSIM sells data eSIMs from $1.09; prices are on the [pricing page](https://unlistedsim.com/pricing/). ## Data retention: FAQ ### How long does UnlistedSIM keep my orders? Order records are kept as long as your account exists, so the QR code can be shown again and refunds can be credited, then deleted with the account. An order holds the plan, the destination, the ICCID and the QR code with its activation code. Keeping them lets us show the QR code again and apply top-ups to the same eSIM. ### Can I delete my data sooner? Yes. Deletion is possible on request from your account, at any time; the account number, its orders and its balance are then erased. Use any remaining balance first: it is erased with the account and is not refundable. After deletion, we can no longer show your QR code again or apply a top-up to that eSIM. ### Does UnlistedSIM keep IP address logs? Visitor IP addresses are not written to our web server access logs and are never attached to an account. So no IP history is attached to your account, to delete or to hand over. Your internet provider or your VPN keeps its own records under its own policy. The site runs no analytics and sets no tracking cookies; outside the client area, your browser only remembers your language choice. ### How long are support emails kept? No retention period is published for support emails yet. If you write to support@unlistedsim.com, your address and message are in our mailbox. We never ask for your account number or your eSIM activation code (QR code) by email or chat. Use an address you are comfortable sharing, and include only what support needs to answer you. ### Can my crypto payment be deleted? No, not by us or by anyone else. A transaction on a public blockchain is permanent: its amount, time and addresses stay visible. We keep the coin, the network, the amount and the transaction ID once matched. Account deletion erases the account number, its orders and its balance; the rule does not name top-up records, and nothing can touch the blockchain. ### Does UnlistedSIM keep data after I delete my account? Not the account number, its orders or its balance: they are erased. The published deletion rule does not name top-up records, eSIM usage, support emails or the optional account items, so we do not promise they are erased. The public blockchain transaction and the records other parties hold, such as the mobile networks, remain in any case.

UnlistedSIM asks for no ID document or required email at checkout. That policy does not establish a country exemption: identification of a local subscription, purchase of a travel profile and its use on a visited network are different questions. The [country registry](https://unlistedsim.com/travel-esim-id-registry/) records their scope, source dates and unknowns. Device-registration exemptions do not establish subscriber-identification exemptions, and no legal conclusion is given. ## Country pages: ID rules, plans and prices Each page gives the local SIM rule with its source, what is documented for travel eSIMs in roaming, the plans and the prices. - [Australia](https://unlistedsim.com/id-rules/australia/) — from $1.29 - [Belgium](https://unlistedsim.com/id-rules/belgium/) — from $1.29 - [Brazil](https://unlistedsim.com/id-rules/brazil/) — from $2.99 - [Canada](https://unlistedsim.com/id-rules/canada/) — from $1.89 - [China](https://unlistedsim.com/id-rules/china/) — from $2.09 - [Colombia](https://unlistedsim.com/id-rules/colombia/) — from $5.99 - [Cyprus](https://unlistedsim.com/id-rules/cyprus/) — from $1.29 - [Egypt](https://unlistedsim.com/id-rules/egypt/) — from $2.19 - [France](https://unlistedsim.com/id-rules/france/) — from $1.29 - [Germany](https://unlistedsim.com/id-rules/germany/) — from $1.09 - [Greece](https://unlistedsim.com/id-rules/greece/) — from $1.29 - [Hong Kong](https://unlistedsim.com/id-rules/hong-kong/) — from $5.99 - [India](https://unlistedsim.com/id-rules/india/) — from $2.09 - [Indonesia](https://unlistedsim.com/id-rules/indonesia/) — from $2.09 - [Italy](https://unlistedsim.com/id-rules/italy/) — from $1.29 - [Japan](https://unlistedsim.com/id-rules/japan/) — from $2.09 - [Mexico](https://unlistedsim.com/id-rules/mexico/) — from $1.99 - [Morocco](https://unlistedsim.com/id-rules/morocco/) — from $2.19 - [Nigeria](https://unlistedsim.com/id-rules/nigeria/) — from $5.99 - [Pakistan](https://unlistedsim.com/id-rules/pakistan/) — from $5.99 - [Peru](https://unlistedsim.com/id-rules/peru/) — from $5.99 - [Philippines](https://unlistedsim.com/id-rules/philippines/) — from $2.09 - [Saudi Arabia](https://unlistedsim.com/id-rules/saudi-arabia/) — from $5.99 - [Singapore](https://unlistedsim.com/id-rules/singapore/) — from $2.09 - [South Africa](https://unlistedsim.com/id-rules/south-africa/) — from $5.99 - [South Korea](https://unlistedsim.com/id-rules/south-korea/) — from $2.09 - [Spain](https://unlistedsim.com/id-rules/spain/) — from $1.09 - [Taiwan](https://unlistedsim.com/id-rules/taiwan/) — from $5.99 - [Thailand](https://unlistedsim.com/id-rules/thailand/) — from $2.09 - [Turkey](https://unlistedsim.com/id-rules/turkey/) — from $1.09 - [United Arab Emirates](https://unlistedsim.com/id-rules/united-arab-emirates/) — from $2.19 - [United Kingdom](https://unlistedsim.com/id-rules/united-kingdom/) — from $1.29 - [United States](https://unlistedsim.com/id-rules/united-states/) — from $1.39 - [Vietnam](https://unlistedsim.com/id-rules/vietnam/) — from $2.09 ## One eSIM for several countries A regional plan covers every country of its declared coverage with one eSIM. - [Europe](https://unlistedsim.com/regions/europe/): 49 countries, from $1.29 ($0.89/GB) - [Global](https://unlistedsim.com/regions/world/): 202 countries, from $5.99 ($1.89/GB) ## Should you choose a country plan or a regional plan? For one country, a country plan, when one exists, often costs less per GB than a regional plan: compare both on the country page. For a trip through several countries, a [regional eSIM](https://unlistedsim.com/regions/) saves buying one eSIM per border: the data allowance is used wherever you are in its list. Some country pages show only regional plans. That means we have no plan made for that country yet, and the page lists the regional plans whose declared coverage includes it. Every plan is data only, with no phone number, and we do not claim 5G for our plans. ## Where can a travel eSIM run into trouble? In a few countries, the problem is not ID but the eSIM itself or your phone. Turkey has blocked the websites and apps of at least 35 eSIM sellers since July 2025, and limits foreign phones to 120 days without registration. Apple says eSIMs from foreign carriers cannot be installed inside mainland China. The UAE blocks WhatsApp and FaceTime calls on its networks, according to eSIM sellers. The [restrictions tracker](https://unlistedsim.com/esim-restrictions-tracker/) lists these rules with sources; in all cases, buy and install before you go. ## Questions about destinations ### My country is not in the list. Can I still get an eSIM? Only if a regional plan covers it. The finder above lists every country covered by a country plan or by a regional plan; a country that does not appear there is not covered today. Each regional page shows its full declared coverage list. ### Why do some country pages have no plans of their own? Because we have no plan made for that country yet. Its page shows the regional plans whose declared coverage includes it, with their prices, and still quotes the local SIM ID rule with its source. The data of a regional plan works in every country of its list. ### Do prices differ by country? Yes. Each country and region has its own price list, and the finder shows the lowest price for each one. Across the catalogue, plans start at $1.09. All prices are in US dollars and paid in crypto from a prepaid balance, with a minimum top-up of $10. ### Can I buy the eSIM after I arrive? In most countries you can, but it is safer to buy and install before you leave, on Wi-Fi. In Turkey, many eSIM sellers' websites are blocked, and in mainland China a foreign eSIM cannot be installed on site, according to Apple. We have not verified whether our site loads from either country. ### Which phones work with these eSIMs? Phones that support eSIM and are carrier-unlocked: iPhone XS, XS Max, XR or later (Apple), Pixel 3a or later (Google), and most recent Samsung Galaxy S, Z and some A models, with regional exceptions. Most iPhones sold in mainland China have no eSIM. Dial *#06#: if an EID appears, the phone supports eSIM. See [devices](https://unlistedsim.com/devices/). ### Which countries need ID even for a travel eSIM? UnlistedSIM asks for no ID document or required email at checkout. That policy does not establish a country exemption: identification of a local subscription, purchase of a travel profile and its use on a visited network are different questions. The [country registry](https://unlistedsim.com/travel-esim-id-registry/) records their scope, source dates and unknowns. Device-registration exemptions do not establish subscriber-identification exemptions, and no legal conclusion is given. ## Sources 1.

Check the exact model against the manufacturer's list, then check that the phone is not locked to a carrier. 1. **Find the model.** The marketing name is not enough: Samsung and Apple sell variants without eSIM in some countries, such as most iPhones sold in mainland China and Galaxy phones from mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macao (according to Roamless, an eSIM seller). 2. **Look for an EID.** Dialling `*#06#` shows the IMEI and, on eSIM-capable phones, the EID, the identifier of the eSIM chip. On an iPhone, the EID is also in Settings > General > About. 3. **Check the carrier lock.** On an iPhone, Settings > General > About > Carrier Lock must say "No SIM restrictions" (Apple). On other phones, ask the carrier. A locked phone may install a third-party eSIM and never connect. If an UnlistedSIM eSIM turns out impossible to install and was never installed, it is credited back to your balance. The [refunds page](https://unlistedsim.com/refunds/) has the rule. ## What does a device reveal when it uses a no-ID eSIM? Its IMEI and its approximate location, to every mobile network it uses. Buying with no ID keeps your identity out of our checkout, but it does not change what the network sees. - **IMEI**: the device identifier, sent to each network the device attaches to. Changing eSIM does not change it. - **EID**: the identifier of the eSIM chip, used when the eSIM profile is downloaded. - **Approximate location**: the cells the device connects to. An eSIM is not a VPN: use HTTPS and, if needed, a trusted VPN for traffic confidentiality. The [who sees what](https://unlistedsim.com/who-sees-what/) page lists every party, and the [exit-IP registry](https://unlistedsim.com/exit-ip-registry/) explains which country your IP address will appear in. ## Devices and no-ID eSIMs: FAQ ### Does a no-ID eSIM work on any phone? No. It works only on a phone with an eSIM chip that is not locked to a carrier. That covers the iPhone XS and later, the Pixel 3a and later and most Galaxy S20 and later models, with regional exceptions such as most iPhones sold in mainland China. Check your exact model in the device guides before you buy. ### Can I use an UnlistedSIM eSIM on a laptop? Not directly on a Mac: no Mac has an eSIM as of October 2026. Install the eSIM on an iPhone, a cellular iPad or a travel router, and share the connection. Our hotspot rule per plan is not published yet, so sharing is not guaranteed. Read the [Mac guide](https://unlistedsim.com/devices/mac/) and the [travel router guide](https://unlistedsim.com/travel-router-esim/). ### Can I install one eSIM on two devices? No. An eSIM profile is installed on one device, and most profiles can be downloaded only once. We have not published a transfer or re-issue rule yet. Buy one eSIM per device, and turn a line off rather than deleting it if you want to keep it for later. ### Do I need to register my device or its IMEI with UnlistedSIM? No. Checkout asks for no ID, no selfie and no email, only a crypto top-up from $10. Some countries have their own device rules for long stays, such as Turkey's IMEI registration for foreign phones; the [restrictions tracker](https://unlistedsim.com/esim-restrictions-tracker/) and the [ID registry](https://unlistedsim.com/travel-esim-id-registry/) list them with sources. ### How can I tell if my phone has an eSIM chip? Dial `*#06#`: if an EID number appears next to the IMEI, the phone has an eSIM chip. Then check the exact model against the manufacturer's list, because some regional versions, such as most iPhones sold in mainland China, have no eSIM. Finally, check that the phone is not locked to a carrier: a locked phone may install the profile but never connect. ### Which cryptocurrencies can I pay with? You can pay with Bitcoin (BTC), Tether (USDT), USD Coin (USDC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Litecoin (LTC). We don't accept Monero (XMR). You top up a prepaid balance from $10, then buy the eSIM from it; unused balance never expires but is not refundable. UnlistedSIM asks for no ID and no email at checkout. The [pay privately guide](https://unlistedsim.com/pay-privately/) explains what each coin reveals. ## Sources 1.

How routing and the exit country decide it, what we have not tested yet, and the local rules. - URL: https://unlistedsim.com/esim-china-google-whatsapp/ - Last updated: 2026-10-15 - Publisher: UnlistedSIM (https://unlistedsim.com) Whether Google and WhatsApp work on a travel eSIM in mainland China depends on where its traffic exits. We have not tested our own China plans yet, so we make no prediction for them. Here is the mechanism, what eSIM sellers report, and what to do before you fly. **Quick answer — Do Google and WhatsApp work on an eSIM in China?** Not tested on **UnlistedSIM** plans yet, so we cannot tell you. It depends on where the eSIM's traffic exits: outside mainland China (home routing), Google and WhatsApp are usually reachable, according to the travel site China Guidelines; through Chinese networks, they may be blocked. We have not published the routing of our China plans. Install the eSIM before you enter China. Our China plans start at **$2.09**, with no ID at checkout, paid in crypto. ## eSIM in China: the facts | Attribute | Value | | --- | --- | | Google and WhatsApp on a local Chinese SIM | Usually not reachable directly (China Guidelines, June 2026) | | On a travel eSIM in roaming | Usually reachable when traffic exits outside mainland China, according to China Guidelines; not guaranteed | | What decides it | The routing of the eSIM profile: home routing (traffic exits abroad) or a route through Chinese networks | | UnlistedSIM China plans tested in China | Not yet; we make no prediction for them | | Network our China plans connect to | China Mobile, as a roaming visitor; this alone does not tell where traffic exits | | Exit country of our China plans | Not published yet | | Install a foreign eSIM inside mainland China | Not possible, according to Apple (article 123879): install before you go | | iPhones bought in mainland China with eSIM | iPhone 18 Pro, 18 Pro Max, iPhone Duo, iPhone 17e, iPhone Air only (Apple) | | Hong Kong | Its own mobile operators (CMHK, csl, 3, SmarTone) and its own SIM law | | VPN legality | We make no claim; local laws apply | | Our China plans | From $2.09, 6 plans, 7–30 days | | ID at checkout | None: no ID document, no selfie, no email | | Phone number | None: data only, no +86 number | | Checked | 9 October 2026 | ## China eSIM plans and prices Prices in US dollars, paid in crypto from your prepaid balance.

It depends on where the eSIM's traffic exits. According to the travel site China Guidelines (14 June 2026), Google and WhatsApp usually work when a travel eSIM's traffic leaves mainland China before it reaches the internet, and usually do not on a local Chinese SIM. That difference comes from routing. With a local SIM, your traffic goes through the domestic network, where Google, YouTube, WhatsApp and Instagram "usually cannot be accessed directly", according to the same source. It adds that a travel eSIM that reaches the global internet directly usually needs no VPN, with a warning: if your traffic is routed through local Chinese networks, it may still be blocked. The technical reason is home routing, the usual setup in roaming. The IP address comes from the home network of the eSIM, and all traffic is sent back to that network before it reaches the internet (IETF). If the home network is outside mainland China, the traffic reaches the internet from there. If the profile uses local breakout instead, the traffic leaves from the Chinese network you are connected to, and local filtering applies. This describes the mechanism, not our plans: we have not tested them. ## Why do eSIM sellers report different results? Because each seller's China profile can be routed differently, and their claims are not independent tests: - **Jetpac**, an eSIM seller, writes that its China eSIM keeps Google blocked while WhatsApp works. - **KnowRoaming**, an eSIM seller, says Google, WhatsApp, Instagram, Gmail, Maps and YouTube work on its China eSIM. These are commercial statements read on 9 October 2026 as search snippets. Two sellers, two different results: the brand of the eSIM does not decide access, its routing does. Ask any seller where its China traffic exits before you rely on it. ## Have we tested UnlistedSIM's China plans? No, not yet. We have not tested Google, Gmail, Maps, WhatsApp or other services on our China plans from inside mainland China, and we do not publish the country where their traffic exits yet. So we cannot tell you that Google or WhatsApp will work on them, and we do not. We do not know yet whether our China plans use home routing or local breakout, so we make no prediction. Until a dated test of our China plans is published on the [exit-IP registry](https://unlistedsim.com/exit-ip-registry/), do not count on Google or WhatsApp, and keep an offline copy of what you need: maps, tickets, addresses. ## Can you install a foreign eSIM once you are in China? No, so install it before you leave. Apple writes that "eSIMs from non-China mainland carriers can't be installed while located in China mainland" (article 123879, published 9 September 2026). Apple wrote this in a page about iPhones bought in China; we read it as a general rule for travellers, because the risk is the same and the cost of being wrong is high. Install the eSIM at home on Wi-Fi, check that it appears in your settings, and turn the line on when you land. Do not delete the profile during the trip: a deleted profile may not install again, and you could not reinstall it from inside mainland China anyway. We have not verified whether our website loads from mainland China, so do not plan to buy or top up from there. ## Does an iPhone bought in China support eSIM? Only a few recent models do. Apple lists eSIM support on these iPhones sold in mainland China: iPhone 18 Pro (A3715), iPhone 18 Pro Max (A3718), iPhone Duo (A3721), iPhone 17e (A3635) and iPhone Air (A3518). They hold at most 2 eSIMs, and a travel eSIM can be activated outside China with location services turned on (Apple, article 123879). Other iPhones sold in mainland China have two nano-SIM trays and no eSIM (Apple, article 118669). Some models sold in Hong Kong and Macao also use two nano-SIM cards. For Samsung, third-party sources report that devices from mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macao have no eSIM; Samsung itself says eSIM may not be supported depending on the country of origin. Dial `*#06#`: if an EID number appears, the phone supports eSIM. More: [devices](https://unlistedsim.com/devices/). ## Is Hong Kong different from mainland China? Yes. Hong Kong has its own mobile operators (CMHK, csl, 3 and SmarTone) and its own SIM law. The real-name registration regulation for SIM cards took effect on 1 September 2021, and it does not cover SIM cards issued and activated outside Hong Kong, according to the government consultation paper. A trip to both places can need two kinds of planning: see [eSIM for Hong Kong](https://unlistedsim.com/id-rules/hong-kong/) and [eSIM for China](https://unlistedsim.com/id-rules/china/). ## Is it legal to use a VPN in China? We make no claim on this. One secondary source mentions a ministry rule that restricts VPN use, and we could not verify it. We found no official Chinese source that deals with travel eSIMs in roaming. Local laws apply to you in China, whatever SIM you use. This page explains how routing works; it does not tell you how to avoid any rule, and we do not describe our plans as a way around the firewall. ## What does UnlistedSIM ask, and what does the Chinese network see? We ask for no ID document, no selfie and no email. A random account number is your login, and you pay in crypto (BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC; we don't accept Monero). By contrast, a local SIM in China requires a passport and real-name registration, and new SIM cards have required a face scan since December 2019; how that applies to foreign passports is not documented. A private checkout does not hide subscription identifiers, the device or its location from mobile networks. Our China plans connect to China Mobile, as a roaming visitor. Like any mobile network, it sees your device identifier (IMEI) and your approximate location. Connecting to China Mobile does not by itself mean that your traffic exits in China: that depends on the routing (home routing or local breakout), which we have not published or tested. An eSIM does not itself provide a VPN tunnel. See [who sees what](https://unlistedsim.com/who-sees-what/). ## What should you do before you fly to China? Prepare at home, because some things cannot be fixed on arrival: 1. **Check your phone.** It must support eSIM and be carrier-unlocked. Dial `*#06#` and look for an EID. 2. **Buy and install the eSIM on Wi-Fi before you leave.** A foreign eSIM cannot be installed inside mainland China, according to Apple. 3. **Keep your home SIM active** for bank codes by SMS: our eSIM is data only and has no +86 number. 4. **Download offline maps and save your tickets and addresses**, in case a service you rely on is not reachable. 5. **Turn the eSIM line on when you land**, and allow data roaming for it. 6. **Do not delete the profile** during the trip. Our China plans start at $2.09; the lowest price per GB is $1.08/GB. An eSIM that was never installed is credited back to your balance; an installed eSIM is not refunded. ## Questions about eSIMs in China ### Do I need a VPN with a travel eSIM in China? It depends on where the eSIM's traffic exits, and we have not tested our China plans yet. A travel site reports that a travel eSIM reaching the global internet directly usually needs no VPN; one eSIM seller reports Google blocked on its own China eSIM. We make no claim on VPN legality in China: local laws apply. ### Does WhatsApp work in China with an UnlistedSIM eSIM? Not tested yet, so we make no prediction. Access depends on where the eSIM's traffic exits, and we do not publish the exit country of our China plans yet. One eSIM seller reports WhatsApp working while Google stays blocked on its own China profile. Check the exit-IP registry for a dated test before you rely on it. ### Does Google work in China with an eSIM? It depends on the routing of the profile. Google is usually not reachable on a local Chinese SIM, and usually reachable when roaming traffic exits outside mainland China, according to China Guidelines. Sellers disagree: one says Google works on its China eSIM, another says Google stays blocked on its own. Our plans have not been tested in China yet, so we make no prediction for them. ### Can I install an eSIM after I arrive in China? No. Apple says eSIMs from non-China mainland carriers can't be installed while you are located in mainland China. Install the eSIM at home on Wi-Fi before you leave, then turn the line on when you land. We have also not verified whether our website loads from mainland China. ### Do I need a passport to buy a China eSIM from UnlistedSIM? No. We ask for no passport, no ID document, no selfie and no email. You top up a balance in crypto from $10 and buy the eSIM from it. A local Chinese SIM is different: it needs a passport and real-name registration. Travel eSIMs usually work in roaming on a foreign subscription instead. ### Will I get a Chinese phone number? No. Our eSIMs are data only, with no +86 number, no calls and no SMS. Keep your home SIM active in dual-SIM mode for bank codes, and use apps over data. Some Chinese services ask for a local number; a data-only eSIM cannot receive their codes. ### Does the same eSIM work in Hong Kong and mainland China? Not our China plans: they cover mainland China only. Hong Kong has its own operators, and it is covered by our Global plans, from $5.99, according to their declared coverage. The Global plans also cover mainland China. Check [Hong Kong](https://unlistedsim.com/id-rules/hong-kong/) and [China](https://unlistedsim.com/id-rules/china/) before you buy. ### Can the Chinese network see what I do on a travel eSIM? It sees your device identifier (IMEI) and your approximate location, as any visited network does. With home routing, your traffic content travels back to the home network before it reaches the internet, but an eSIM does not itself provide a VPN tunnel: websites and apps use their own encryption. A private checkout does not hide subscription identifiers, the device or its location from mobile networks. ## Sources 1.

We separate the checkout step, documents requested and destination evidence; unknown requirements remain unknown. **Quick answer — Why do some eSIM sellers ask for ID verification?** Some eSIM profiles require electronic identity verification before purchase. Airalo’s help article, checked 15 October 2026, describes a passport document, sometimes an address, and third-party verification. UnlistedSIM offers an eSIM without ID or email from $1.09 at checkout. Destination and profile requirements are separate; an unconfirmed roaming rule is not a documented exemption. ## What does eKYC mean for an eSIM? | Attribute | Value | | --- | --- | | eKYC | Electronic identity verification before purchase or activation | | Possible documents | A passport or other accepted identity document; address, selfie or liveness check depend on the process | | Airalo verifier | Third-party providers may vary with the eSIM location; its current help article names no single provider | | Airalo country list | Not provided in the help article checked 2026-10-15 | | UnlistedSIM checkout | No ID document, selfie, phone number or email required | | Upstream requirement | If a local network ever required an ID check for a destination, that plan page would say so before you pay | ## Why does Airalo ask me to verify my identity? Airalo’s [help article](https://www.airalo.com/help/getting-started-with-airalo/E8DFWD88SHUX/when-do-i-need-to-verify-my-identity/MEMBY8RNOAT0) says that certain local SIM or eSIM purchases require electronic identity verification. The purchase is held until verification succeeds. It describes uploading a document such as a passport and, where required, entering an address. Different third-party providers may handle verification depending on the eSIM location. We checked the full article on 15 October 2026. It provides no destination list and names no single verifier. Earlier references based on a search snippet are not used here. ## Which countries require eSIM identity verification? The exact product matters. Turkcell’s tourist offer in Türkiye requires a passport for its local SIM or eSIM. Hong Kong’s OFCA describes registration for locally issued SIMs, with foreign roaming addressed separately in legislative records. These are source-specific findings, not a worldwide answer. The [country registry](https://unlistedsim.com/travel-esim-id-registry/) separates local registration, travel-profile checks, roaming and phone registration. Where a source does not address a category, its status stays unknown. Silence about roaming is not an exemption. ## What does an ID check collect, and who processes it? Airalo describes an identity document, an address where required, and referral to a third-party verifier. Other processes can request more: [Turkcell](https://www.turkcell.com.tr/prepaid-tourist-sim-turkey) documents passport scanning, NFC, a liveness check and video acceptance for app activation of its local tourist eSIM. The verification provider, seller and issuing operator may have different processing roles. Read their current privacy notices to establish who receives documents and for how long. We have not audited their systems or retention periods. ## Is eKYC the same thing as SIM registration? No. eKYC describes a verification method. SIM registration describes a rule or operator process connecting a local subscription with a registered holder. A provider may also request documents under its own policy. Being digital does not itself determine whether a check applies. An IMEI rule concerns the device. A phone-tax or IMEI exemption is not evidence of an exemption from subscriber registration. The source scope matters more than the label used in an eSIM advertisement. ## How does UnlistedSIM work without an ID form? A random account number is created for login. You top up a prepaid balance in crypto from $10 and buy a data eSIM, with plans from $1.09. The QR and activation code appear in the account when ready. No passport, selfie, email or phone number is needed at our checkout. If a local network ever required an ID check for a destination, that plan page would say so before you pay. Data that remains is listed on [what we collect](https://unlistedsim.com/what-we-collect/). The network still sees device and subscription identifiers and cell location: [who sees what](https://unlistedsim.com/who-sees-what/). ## What should I check before sharing an identity document? ### Can I buy an eSIM without ID verification? Yes at UnlistedSIM checkout: no document, selfie or email is requested. Plans start at $1.09. If a local network ever required an ID check for a destination, that plan page would say so before you pay. Check the exact destination and profile separately in the [country registry](https://unlistedsim.com/travel-esim-id-registry/). ### Does Airalo use Jumio for every eSIM? Its help article does not say that. As checked on 15 October 2026, it says third-party verification providers can vary by the eSIM location. We do not infer a single named provider from an older search snippet. ### Does Saily require KYC? This page does not establish Saily’s current requirements. Check the exact plan and checkout, and read the seller’s own privacy notice. The [seller comparison](https://unlistedsim.com/best-no-kyc-esim/) marks verified statements and unknowns separately. ### Will my ID be kept after verification? That depends on the seller, verification provider and operator. We have not audited their retention periods. Read their privacy notices before uploading. UnlistedSIM requests no identity document at checkout, so it has no checkout ID document to retain. ### Does buying without ID hide my phone from networks? No. Networks still see device and subscription identifiers and approximate cell location. A no-ID checkout changes what the seller requests; it does not hide the radio connection or provide an end-to-end VPN. ## Which sources support this guide? 1.

This registry lists 16 sellers and what each one offers: a number with every plan, a number on some plans, a number sold separately, or no number at all. It is written for travellers who want to stay reachable abroad. **Quick answer — Does UnlistedSIM include a phone number or SMS?** No. UnlistedSIM sells a data-only eSIM without ID or email from $1.09, without a phone number, normal calls or SMS. Keep a suitable separate line for bank texts and voice calls. Updated October 2026: Apple documents using separate voice and data lines with Dual SIM; charges and SMS delivery depend on your home operator. ## How do the 16 sellers differ on phone numbers? - **1** includes a number with every data purchase (aloSIM) - **5** offer a number on some plans or as an option (Airalo, Airhub, Nomad, Jetpac, Simbye) - **5** sell numbers as a separate product (Silent.link, PikaSim, VoidMob, Yesim, BNESIM; sources differ on PikaSim's US plans) - **5** are data only (UnlistedSIM, Bitrefill, GigSky, Keepgo, Stellar eSim) ## Which travel eSIM sellers offer phone numbers? We sell eSIMs. Our plans are included in this comparison and marked. Quoted words are the seller's own. "esimdb" means the per-plan telephony attribute published by the esimdb aggregator on 9 October 2026. | Seller | Number with the eSIM? | Calls and SMS | How you get it | Source | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | UnlistedSIM (ours) | No | None: data only | Not offered | This site | | aloSIM | Yes | International number through Hushed | Included with every data purchase | alosim.com | | Nomad | On some eSIMs | "Some of Nomad's eSIMs include a local phone number" | Depends on the plan | nomadesim.com | | Airhub | On some plans | Telephony on 96 of 363 plans | Depends on the plan | esimdb | | Airalo | On some plans | Telephony on 48 of 607 plans | Depends on the plan | esimdb | | Jetpac | As an option | "Voice" option available | Option | jetpacglobal.com | | Simbye | On some plans | Numbers for the US, the UK, France and Thailand | Depends on the plan | simbye.com | | Silent.link | Not on DATA.PLUS (data only) | US.PLUS: +1, incoming SMS only; IDENTITY: +1 or +44; no classic voice | Separate plans: US.PLUS $93 a year + $5 balance | silent.link | | PikaSim | No (data eSIM) | Private SMS service sold separately (PikaSim site); another source we read mentions SMS and calls on its US plans, not verified | Sold separately | pikasim.com | | VoidMob | No: data only (tester) | Non-VoIP numbers | Sold separately | voidmob.com; GrapheneOS forum | | Yesim | No (data) | Virtual numbers | Sold separately | yesim.app | | BNESIM | No (data) | International numbers | Sold separately | bnesim.com | | Bitrefill | No | "No calls/SMS", "Data-only" | Not offered | bitrefill.com | | GigSky | No | "data only" | Not offered | gigsky.com | | Keepgo | No | "Data Only" product | Not offered | keepgo.com | | Stellar eSim | No | Data only (third party) | Not offered | mybestsim.com | *Checked on October 9, 2026.* Not tested: we did not check whether any of these numbers receive a bank or WhatsApp text. PikaSim: sources differ on whether its US plans include SMS and calls; we count it under numbers sold separately, as its own site describes. Holafly, Cryptorefills and nadanada are left out: the sources we checked did not say whether they offer a number. Per esimdb, Maya Mobile, Ubigi, Saily and MobiMatter list data-only plans. Licence: CC BY 4.0, cite "UnlistedSIM Phone-Number Registry, 2026". ## Does a travel eSIM come with a phone number? Usually not. A travel eSIM is normally data only: it connects you to mobile internet, and calls and messages go through apps. In our registry, 5 of 16 sellers offer no number at all, and 5 more sell numbers only as a separate product. Only one seller in the list, aloSIM, adds a number to every data purchase: an international number provided through Hushed. Five others offer a number on some plans or as an option. Airalo lists telephony on 48 of its 607 plans and Airhub on 96 of 363, per esimdb. Nomad says "some of Nomad's eSIMs include a local phone number". Jetpac offers a "Voice" option. Simbye lists numbers for the US, the UK, France and Thailand. If a plan page does not mention a number, assume it is data only. ## How do I get bank or WhatsApp texts abroad with a data-only eSIM? An UnlistedSIM eSIM without ID or email supplies data, not an SMS number, from $1.09. Keep your home line active if you need texts sent to that number. Apple’s Dual SIM guide, checked 15 October 2026, supports separate voice and data lines; roaming charges, bank-code delivery and device compatibility depend on the operators involved. On a compatible phone, select the travel eSIM for mobile data and keep data roaming off on the home line unless you intend to use it. Apple’s [Dual SIM instructions](https://support.apple.com/en-us/109317) describe the settings and limitations. Both lines still use mobile networks when active; your home operator can see its own roaming connection. Receiving a bank text is not guaranteed by buying a data plan. Ask the home operator about roaming availability and charges, and check whether the bank offers another recovery method. WhatsApp normally uses the internet connection for an existing account; changing the data line does not create a new SMS-capable number. ## Which eSIM has a US number that receives SMS for a year? Silent.link's US.PLUS plan does: a +1 (United States) number that receives SMS only, for **$93 a year plus a $5 balance**, checked 9 October 2026. It does not send SMS and has no classic voice service. Silent.link also sells IDENTITY plans with +1 or +44 numbers. Other routes in the registry: Simbye lists plans with US numbers, and aloSIM includes an international number with every data purchase. UnlistedSIM sells no numbers. ## Can a number sold with an eSIM receive bank codes? Not reliably, and it is the wrong tool for most travellers. Your bank sends codes to the number it already knows: your home number. Keeping that SIM active is the simple answer. A new number bought with an eSIM is often a virtual or VoIP number. Services often block VoIP numbers for their codes, as prune.co.in, an eSIM seller, notes. Local rules can also limit what a tourist number does. In South Korea, a tourist number does not give access to Korean identity verification for banks and websites, per Korea Experience. This registry is for staying reachable while you travel. It is not a guide to creating or checking accounts with numbers you do not normally use. ## Does UnlistedSIM include a phone number? No. UnlistedSIM plans provide mobile data, without a phone number, ordinary voice calls or SMS. Plans start at $1.09; the current catalogue is on [pricing](https://unlistedsim.com/pricing/). A separate voice line is useful if you need ordinary calls, SMS or access to emergency services. Emergency-call support depends on the device, available networks and local rules; this data plan does not provide a voice subscription. Check the local operator or official travel information rather than assuming app calling replaces emergency voice service. ## Are the numbers sold with eSIMs mobile or VoIP numbers? It depends on the seller, and most do not say. VoidMob describes the numbers it sells as "non-VoIP". Yesim sells "virtual numbers". aloSIM's number comes through Hushed. Silent.link describes US.PLUS as a +1 number for incoming SMS, without stating the line type in the sources we checked. The type matters because services often block VoIP numbers. If you need a specific use, check the seller's own terms on the day you buy. ## How was this phone-number registry built? We read each seller's own pages on 9 October 2026, and used the per-plan telephony attribute published by esimdb when the seller's site did not say. Third-party sources are named in the table. - **What we counted:** whether a number comes with the eSIM, on some plans, as an option, or as a separate product. - **What we did not test:** receiving a text from a bank or from WhatsApp. No number in this list has been tested by us. - **Who is left out:** sellers whose pages did not say, such as Holafly, Cryptorefills and nadanada. - **Licence:** CC BY 4.0. You may reuse the table with a link to this page. We sell eSIMs, and our plans are in the table, marked.

Usually not. Most travel eSIMs are data only: mobile internet, with calls and messages through apps. In our registry of 16 sellers (9 October 2026), only aloSIM adds a number to every data purchase. Five offer a number on some plans or as an option, five sell numbers separately, and five, including UnlistedSIM, offer none. ### Does UnlistedSIM include a phone number? No. UnlistedSIM sells data-only eSIMs with no ID and no email, paid in crypto, from $1.09: no number, no calls, no SMS. Keep your home SIM active in dual-SIM mode for bank texts and calls. On iPhone 13 and later, two lines can stay active at once, per Apple. ### Which eSIM gives a US number that receives SMS? Silent.link's US.PLUS: a +1 number that receives SMS only, for $93 a year plus a $5 balance (checked 9 October 2026). It has no classic voice service. Silent.link's IDENTITY plans offer +1 or +44 numbers. Simbye also lists plans with US numbers. UnlistedSIM does not sell numbers. ### Can I receive bank texts while abroad with a travel eSIM? Yes, if you keep your home SIM active next to the eSIM. Your bank texts the number it knows, so dual SIM is the answer. Your home operator may charge for texts received while roaming; ask it before you leave. A new number bought with an eSIM is not a reliable substitute. ### Will WhatsApp work on a data-only eSIM? Yes, in most countries: WhatsApp runs over the data connection, and your account stays linked to your usual number. Exceptions exist. In the United Arab Emirates, WhatsApp and FaceTime calls are blocked on local networks, per Jetpac and KnowRoaming, and a travel eSIM does not guarantee they work. ### Are eSIM phone numbers VoIP numbers? Some are, and most sellers do not say. VoidMob sells numbers it calls "non-VoIP"; Yesim sells "virtual numbers"; aloSIM's number comes through Hushed. Services often block VoIP numbers for their codes, as prune.co.in notes. We have not tested any of these numbers. ### Can I call emergency services with a data-only eSIM? This data plan does not provide a voice subscription. Emergency-call support depends on the phone, available networks and local rules. Keep a suitable separate voice line and check official local information; do not rely on an ordinary messaging app as an emergency service. ### Does Airalo include a phone number? On a few plans. Per esimdb data of 9 October 2026, 48 of Airalo's 607 plans include telephony; the rest are data only. Airhub lists telephony on 96 of 363 plans. Check the plan page before buying if you need a number. ## Which sources support this guide? 1.

Data only, crypto only; sourced country ID rules and privacy limits. --- # Where are eSIMs blocked or restricted? > Where are eSIMs blocked or restricted? 15 countries checked on 9 October 2026 with sources: Turkey, China, UAE, IMEI rules. UnlistedSIM: no ID, crypto. - URL: https://unlistedsim.com/esim-restrictions-tracker/ - Last updated: 2026-10-15 - Publisher: UnlistedSIM (https://unlistedsim.com) A dated table of what can stop a travel eSIM: blocked seller websites, eSIMs that cannot be installed on arrival, limits on foreign phones (IMEI), blocked calls and new limits on local SIM cards. Every row has a source. **Quick answer** As of 9 October 2026, two of the 15 countries in this tracker restrict the eSIM itself: **Turkey** blocks the websites and apps of at least 35 eSIM sellers, and eSIMs from foreign carriers **cannot be installed inside mainland China**. The others limit foreign phones (IMEI), VoIP calls or local SIM cards, or have rules pending. **UnlistedSIM**, a no-ID eSIM seller paid in crypto (plans from $1.09), publishes this table under CC BY 4.0. > **How should older roaming summaries be read?** This tracker mixes device registration, website access and subscription rules. The current SIM and eSIM ID registry distinguishes their scope: an IMEI exemption is not an exemption from subscriber identification. Turkey also has a historical BTK decision about permanent data roaming; the Turkey guide explains the evidence and unknowns. No successful connection or legal eligibility of an UnlistedSIM profile is established here. ## The tracker at a glance | Attribute | Value | | --- | --- | | Countries tracked | 15 | | Sellers' websites or apps blocked | Turkey: at least 35 eSIM sellers, BTK decisions of 10 and 17 July 2025 | | Foreign eSIM cannot be installed on arrival | Mainland China, according to Apple (article 123879, 9 September 2026) | | VoIP calls blocked | United Arab Emirates (WhatsApp, FaceTime), according to eSIM sellers | | Foreign-phone (IMEI) rules | Turkey, Indonesia, Pakistan, Egypt, Peru, Colombia | | Phone rule explicitly not applied to roaming | Some sources address device registration only; the current ID registry records their scope and unknowns | | New limits on local SIM cards in 2025–2026 | Thailand, South Korea, Vietnam, Japan, Mexico | | Pending | United States: FCC proposal 26-27 on prepaid identification, not adopted | | Checked | 9 October 2026 | | License | CC BY 4.0: reuse it with a link to this page | | Published by | UnlistedSIM (eSIMGoat LLC), which sells eSIMs | ## eSIM restrictions by country (checked 9 October 2026) "No restriction found" and "No rule found" mean that the sources we read say nothing about it on 9 October 2026; they are not a guarantee.

Some eSIM sellers report website and app access restrictions in Turkey. UnlistedSIM access and activation from inside Turkey have not been tested. A historical BTK permanent-data-roaming rule and separate device rules must not be reduced to a single guaranteed duration. The [Turkey evidence guide](https://unlistedsim.com/turkey-esim-restrictions/) gives the source dates and current unknowns. ## Can you install a foreign eSIM in mainland China? No, according to Apple: "eSIMs from non-China mainland carriers can't be installed while located in China mainland" (article 123879, published 9 September 2026). Apple wrote this in a page about iPhones bought in China; the safe reading is to install any travel eSIM before you enter mainland China. Phones bought in mainland China are a second trap. Apple lists eSIM support only on the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, iPhone Duo, iPhone 17e and iPhone Air sold there; other iPhones sold in mainland China use two nano-SIM cards and have no eSIM. Whether Google and WhatsApp work depends on how the eSIM routes traffic, not on the eSIM itself. We have not verified whether foreign eSIM sellers' websites, ours included, load from mainland China. Full detail: [eSIM in China: do Google and WhatsApp work?](https://unlistedsim.com/esim-china-google-whatsapp/) ## Are WhatsApp and FaceTime calls blocked in the UAE? Yes, on UAE networks. VoIP calls through WhatsApp, FaceTime and similar apps are blocked on the local networks, according to eSIM sellers Jetpac and KnowRoaming; mobile data itself works. Sellers disagree on whether a foreign eSIM in roaming brings these calls back, so we do not promise it. A local SIM in the UAE needs a passport and visa (or an Emirates ID), and one source reports a limit of 2 SIMs per operator for visitors. If calls matter, plan for regular calls on your home line, or for the call apps that are allowed locally. ## Which countries limit foreign phones by IMEI, and does roaming count? Device registration, subscriber identification and phone fees have distinct scopes. The current [country registry](https://unlistedsim.com/travel-esim-id-registry/) gives the narrower primary evidence and marks foreign-roaming requirements Unknown when they have not been established. ### Foreign-phone (IMEI) rules and roaming | Country | Rule for a foreign phone with a local SIM | Phone roaming on a foreign SIM | Source | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Turkey | Historical device and permanent-roaming rules differ; current treatment of UnlistedSIM profiles remains unverified. | Sources disagree: not concerned (canibringto), concerned (turkeytravelplanner), or concerned only when the eSIM uses Turkish networks (Yesim) | turkeytravelplanner (2026-07-19); Yesim (2026-08-25) | | Indonesia | Tourists staying 90 days or less get 90 days of network access through an operator outlet; up to 2 devices can be registered at customs within 60 days of arrival | Exempt: tourists who keep their foreign SIM do not register the IMEI (Kominfo, cited by the press) | Bea Cukai Ngurah Rai; detik; DDTC | | Pakistan | Free temporary registration for 120 days from arrival, 1 device, with a Pakistani SIM in your name; duties and taxes after that | Service kept: the DIRBS FAQ keeps an international SIM in roaming connected | PTA DIRBS FAQ; PTA FAQ (2025-07-23) | | Egypt | Unknown in the current primary-source review; older phone-fee reporting does not establish a foreign-roaming exemption. | Unknown in the current primary-source review; older phone-fee reporting does not establish a foreign-roaming exemption. | Egyptian Streets (2026-01-20) | | Peru | Register the phone at an outlet (RENTESEG whitelist), otherwise it may be blocked within 48 working hours; 5 devices per person | No procedure for tourists in roaming (OSIPTEL, quoted by the press) | Infobae (2026-02-23); DPL News | | Colombia | Positive IMEI database (CRC resolution 4986, in force since 1 August 2016); register with the operator within 15 or 20 days, depending on the source | No rule found | Enter.co; Colombia Move | An IMEI rule concerns your phone, whatever SIM is in it. A no-ID checkout does not change it. For stays of several months, read [long stays](https://unlistedsim.com/long-stays/). ## Which countries limit local SIM cards for visitors? Several countries tightened their rules for local SIM cards in 2025 and 2026. These rules target lines sold in the country; for travel eSIMs in roaming, we found no text that applies them, and no text that excludes them either. - **Thailand:** registration in person with a passport, at most 3 SIMs per operator for foreigners, and activation within 60 days, since 16 May 2026 (Tilleke & Gibbins). A live face check for new lines has applied since 18 August 2025, according to the press. - **South Korea:** since 6 July 2026, new lines and operator changes need face recognition, the government mobile ID app, or a certificate issued the same day (The Korea Times). The principle is one person, one line. - **Vietnam:** identities are checked against the national population database (Decree 163/2024), and a face re-check is required at each change of device from 15 April 2026; another source gives 15 June. - **Philippines:** the SIM Registration Act (RA 11934, 2022) covers eSIMs explicitly. A tourist SIM is valid for 30 days and can be extended only with a visa extension. - **United Arab Emirates:** passport and visa; 2 SIMs per operator for visitors, according to a single source. Country by country, with the roaming status: [Travel eSIM ID Registry](https://unlistedsim.com/travel-esim-id-registry/). ## Which rules are changing? The [country registry](https://unlistedsim.com/travel-esim-id-registry/) records the evidence and its dates. Japan’s data-SIM amendment raises questions of commencement and profile scope. Mexico’s line-registration programme distinguishes local service and visitors; an exemption for an UnlistedSIM profile has not been verified. FCC 26-27 is a proposal and does not prove either an adopted US identification obligation or its absence. Vietnam’s older source summaries give different dates for device-change checks. These are questions to verify, not a determination of legal eligibility. ## What does this mean if you buy from UnlistedSIM? Check purchase, installation and network conditions before departure. We have not tested website access or current activation from Turkey or mainland China. No ID document or mandatory email is asked at our checkout, but this does not establish eligibility under local requirements. The [Turkey guide](https://unlistedsim.com/turkey-esim-restrictions/) distinguishes historical permanent-roaming rules from device-registration rules. The [country registry](https://unlistedsim.com/travel-esim-id-registry/) marks unknowns explicitly. Do not infer an exemption from a local SIM source, or a need to pay a phone fee solely from this tracker. ## How is this tracker built? Each row comes from a regulator, a manufacturer, a law firm or the press, read on or before 9 October 2026. When a source is a search snippet, a secondary source or an eSIM seller, we say so in the source list. When sources disagree, we show both and give no verdict. When we found nothing, we write "No rule found". We do not fill gaps. This is not legal advice, and local laws apply. We sell eSIMs: we have an interest in the subject, so every fact here carries its source for you to check. **Reuse:** the table is published under CC BY 4.0. Cite it as "eSIM Country Restrictions Tracker, UnlistedSIM, 9 October 2026" with a link to this page. Corrections with a source: support@unlistedsim.com. **Changelog:** 9 October 2026, first version, 15 countries. ## Questions about eSIM restrictions ### In which countries are eSIMs banned? This tracker records seller-site access restrictions, manufacturer installation conditions, local-SIM registration and phone rules, which are separate. Older entries were checked on 9 October 2026. The [country registry](https://unlistedsim.com/travel-esim-id-registry/) and [Turkey guide](https://unlistedsim.com/turkey-esim-restrictions/) explain current evidence limits; no successful activation or exemption is guaranteed here. ### Will my eSIM stop working after 120 days in Turkey? The often-quoted 120-day phone rule does not settle the separate question of permanent data roaming. The [Turkey restrictions guide](https://unlistedsim.com/turkey-esim-restrictions/) cites a historical BTK decision and explains what remains unverified for current profiles. We have not established the current treatment of an UnlistedSIM profile or a personal requirement to register a phone. ### Can I buy an eSIM after I land in China? Buy it before you go. Apple says eSIMs from non-China mainland carriers can't be installed while you are in mainland China, so buying on arrival does not help. We have also not verified whether foreign sellers' websites, ours included, load from mainland China. Install at home on Wi-Fi and turn the line on when you land. ### Do WhatsApp calls work in Dubai with a travel eSIM? Not reliably. WhatsApp and FaceTime calls are blocked on UAE networks, according to eSIM sellers, and sellers disagree on whether a foreign eSIM in roaming avoids the block. Mobile data and WhatsApp messages are not reported as blocked. If calls matter, plan for regular calls on your home line. ### Do I need to register my phone's IMEI in Indonesia with a travel eSIM? Indonesia’s primary IMEI text distinguishes devices using international roaming. That is evidence about a device rule, not every subscription or a right to indefinite service. Pakistan and Peru have their own device guidance; Egypt’s foreign-roaming treatment remains Unknown in the current [country registry](https://unlistedsim.com/travel-esim-id-registry/). ### Which countries require ID for a travel eSIM? UnlistedSIM asks for no ID document or required email at checkout. That policy does not establish a country exemption: identification of a local subscription, purchase of a travel profile and its use on a visited network are different questions. The [country registry](https://unlistedsim.com/travel-esim-id-registry/) records their scope, source dates and unknowns. Device-registration exemptions do not establish subscriber-identification exemptions, and no legal conclusion is given. ### Can I reuse this data? Yes. The tracker is published under CC BY 4.0: you may copy and adapt it, including commercially, if you credit "eSIM Country Restrictions Tracker, UnlistedSIM" with a link to this page and the version date (9 October 2026). Please keep the source qualifiers, because several rows rely on search snippets or sellers' statements. ### How often is the tracker updated? When a rule changes and when we review the sources. The date at the top of the page changes only when the content changes, and each change is listed in the changelog above. If you know of a rule we missed, send the source to support@unlistedsim.com. ## Sources 1.

Updated October 2026, with plan prices. - URL: https://unlistedsim.com/europe-mobile-data-without-id/ - Last updated: 2026-10-15 - Publisher: UnlistedSIM (https://unlistedsim.com) Compare local SIM identification with a foreign-issued travel subscription. Europe has shared roaming pricing rules, while identity checks need country and operator evidence. This guide consolidates that shared explanation and preserves national differences. **Quick answer — Can I buy an eSIM without ID or email for Europe?** UnlistedSIM offers an eSIM without ID or email for Europe from $1.29, covering 49 countries. Reviewed 15 October 2026: [German](https://www.bundesnetzagentur.de/DE/Fachthemen/Telekommunikation/OeffentlicheSicherheit/Autom_Auskunftsverfahren/FAQ/start.html) and [Spanish](https://www.boe.es/buscar/act.php?id=BOE-A-2007-18243) sources require local prepaid identification; national checks differ. Foreign-roaming identity scope remains unverified. EU roaming pricing rules do not establish a registration exemption. ## What should I check before choosing a Europe plan? | Attribute | Value | | --- | --- | | Europe bundle price | From $1.29 | | Coverage | 49 listed countries; commercial Europe coverage differs from the 27 EU member states | | Product | Data only; no phone number, calls or SMS | | Purchase | No identity document or required email; account number login | | Minimum balance top-up | $10; unused balance is non-refundable | | National source review | Seven EU countries reviewed; other 20 not evaluated here | | Foreign-roaming identity scope | Unverified in the national sources below | | Source review | 15 October 2026 | ## Do all EU countries have the same SIM identification rule? No uniform identity rule can be inferred from EU membership or a Europe eSIM coverage list. Germany's regulator describes document verification before prepaid activation. Spain's statute requires an identity-document register. Belgium's regulator explains several accepted identification routes. These are distinct national sources. An operator procedure is narrower evidence: Orange France's form, TIM's activation instructions and COSMOTE's prepaid form document what those operators ask. They do not establish every operator's procedure or the treatment of an overseas subscription. The EU has 27 member states. This source review covers seven; the other 20 remain unevaluated here. The France, Spain, Italy, Germany, Greece, Belgium and Cyprus entries retain their own evidence with indexing disabled. This guide holds the shared explanation and comparison. ## Which European local SIMs require identification? The table records each source's scope. A local eSIM is distinct from a foreign-issued profile used in roaming. Unknown is not an exemption. | Country | Local prepaid SIM | Local eSIM evidence | Foreign roaming | Source and review | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Germany | Document check before activation, since 1 July 2017 | Regulator describes prepaid services; no separate eSIM exemption established | Unverified | [Bundesnetzagentur](https://www.bundesnetzagentur.de/DE/Fachthemen/Telekommunikation/OeffentlicheSicherheit/Autom_Auskunftsverfahren/FAQ/start.html), section 172 TKG FAQ; 2026-10-15 | | Spain | Identity-document buyer register required | Separate local-eSIM wording not established here | Unverified | [BOE, Ley 25/2007](https://www.boe.es/buscar/act.php?id=BOE-A-2007-18243), additional prepaid provision; 2026-10-15 | | Belgium | Identification mandatory; valid original passport or EU ID accepted in store | BIPT covers prepaid services including internet access | Unverified | [BIPT prepaid cards](https://www.bipt.be/consumers/telephone-internet-tv/consumer-protection/prepaid-cards); 2026-10-15 | | Cyprus | Mandatory identification; deadline 10 November 2025 | Separate local-eSIM wording not established here | Unverified | [OCECPR notice](https://www.gov.cy/en/commissioners/announcement-by-the-office-of-the-commissioner-for-electronic-communications-and-postal-regulation-regarding-mandatory-identification-of-prepaid-sim-cards/); 2026-10-15 | | France | Orange form asks for an identity-document copy | Form establishes Orange prepaid procedure, not every local offer | Unverified | [Orange identification form](https://static.boutique.orange.fr/media-cms/mediatheque/0x0-coupon-identification-carte-prepayee-foot-16320.pdf); 2026-10-15 | | Italy | TIM verifies the subscriber before activation | TIM explicitly includes SIM and eSIM; SPID or document-based video identification | Unverified | [TIM activation instructions](https://www.tim.it/attiva-sim); 2026-10-15 | | Greece | COSMOTE prepaid activation asks for identity documents | Separate local-eSIM procedure not established here | Unverified | [COSMOTE activation](https://www.cosmote.gr/online-kartokinito/?channel=COSMOTESITE&language=EN&orderType=PRE_ACTIVATION); 2026-10-15 | | Other 20 EU member states | Unknown in this review | Unknown in this review | Unknown in this review | No country-specific source established here; 2026-10-15 | Primary evidence means a regulator, statute or operator procedure. It does not make the stated procedure universal. This review gives no legal conclusion. ## Does a foreign travel eSIM follow the local activation procedure? The reviewed national sources do not settle that question for a particular foreign-issued profile. A roaming subscription is issued by an operator outside the visited network; a local SIM is activated as that operator's own subscription. The same antenna name on a phone does not establish identical registration requirements. The table therefore says unverified for foreign roaming. Our promise describes the UnlistedSIM transaction: no identity document and no required email at purchase. It does not turn a missing rule into a documented exemption. The [country registry](https://unlistedsim.com/travel-esim-id-registry/) distinguishes explicit exclusions, operator procedures and unknown scope. ## Does EU roam like at home establish a no-ID exemption? No. [Regulation (EU) 2022/612](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg/2022/612/oj) concerns roaming conditions and pricing within its scope; it does not establish a universal no-ID purchase procedure. An eligible domestic subscription and a separately priced travel bundle are different products. [BIPT's fair-use explanation](https://bipt.be/consumers/faq/fair-use-policy) describes an observation period of at least four months and an alert before a surcharge may apply. Those conditions cannot guarantee that a foreign travel eSIM will work indefinitely. An UnlistedSIM bundle has the allowance and validity displayed for that plan; profile-specific long-stay restrictions remain unverified. Read the [long-stay guide](https://unlistedsim.com/long-stays/) for the evidence limits. ## Does Europe coverage include countries outside the EU? The plan's coverage list determines where it is sold for use. EU membership determines neither the list nor the identity rule. The United Kingdom, Switzerland and other European destinations need their own evidence; the German or Spanish entry cannot be extended to them. For example, the [UK entry](https://unlistedsim.com/id-rules/united-kingdom/) records an official giffgaff activation guide without a passport step. The national statutory position remains unknown: omission from one checklist does not establish every operator's obligations. Read the [Europe coverage list](https://unlistedsim.com/regions/europe/) before purchasing for a route across borders. ## What does an eSIM without ID or email cost for Europe? UnlistedSIM Europe bundles start at $1.29 and cover the 49 listed countries. The bundle price is separate from the minimum prepaid balance top-up of $10. Unused balance is non-refundable and can pay for later eSIMs or recharges. Select by the countries, allowance and validity you need. These are data-only plans: no European phone number, calls or SMS. The QR code and activation code appear in the account when ready. Account email remains optional. The [purchase guide](https://unlistedsim.com/how-it-works/) explains checkout and refund-to-balance conditions. ### Which Europe plans are available? | Data | Validity | Price | Per GB | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 GB | 7 days | $1.29 | $1.29/GB | | 5 GB | 30 days | $6.79 | $1.36/GB | | 10 GB | 30 days | $10.59 | $1.06/GB | | Unlimited (fair use: 2 GB/day at full speed) | 7 days | $17.29 | $2.47/day | | 20 GB — Best price per GB | 30 days | $17.79 | $0.89/GB | | Unlimited (fair use: 2 GB/day at full speed) | 30 days | $43.19 | $1.44/day | *Plans: 6 · Europe eSIM · prices in USD* ## What can the network still see with a no-ID checkout? A mobile connection exposes subscription and device identifiers to the networks involved, along with approximate location from serving cells. Omitting a passport from the UnlistedSIM checkout does not hide the handset from the visited operator. Account data, payment history, network metadata and website traffic are different records. Crypto payments can leave public transaction records. Our [who sees what guide](https://unlistedsim.com/who-sees-what/) explains these limits; our [exit-IP registry](https://unlistedsim.com/exit-ip-registry/) marks unmeasured routing as unknown. A different checkout process does not remove those network records. ## What else should I check about a no-ID Europe eSIM? ### Do I need a passport to buy an UnlistedSIM Europe eSIM? UnlistedSIM asks for no passport or required email at purchase. Local operators may have separate identification procedures. The sources above do not settle foreign-roaming scope, so checkout requirements do not establish a legal exemption. ### Can a Europe data eSIM receive bank SMS? UnlistedSIM includes no phone number, calls or SMS. Bank texts require another active line. Check that line's roaming terms: receiving or making calls abroad may incur charges. ### Can I use a Europe travel eSIM as a permanent local line? A travel bundle has a fixed allowance and validity and no local number. Profile-specific permanent-roaming restrictions remain unverified here. Ask about the intended duration before purchasing; a no-ID checkout does not establish long-stay eligibility. ## Which sources support the shared roaming explanation? 1. [Regulation (EU) 2022/612 on roaming](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg/2022/612/oj) — EUR-Lex (2022-04-06; reviewed 2026-10-15) 2. [Fair use policy for roaming in the EU](https://bipt.be/consumers/faq/fair-use-policy) — BIPT (checked 2026-10-15) --- UnlistedSIM: UnlistedSIM offers an eSIM without ID or email at checkout, from $1.09. Data only, crypto only; sourced country ID rules and privacy limits. --- # eSIM IP address: which country will it show? > eSIM IP address: usually not the country you visit. Home routing vs local breakout, how to check your exit country, and the 8-column registry method. - URL: https://unlistedsim.com/exit-ip-registry/ - Last updated: 2026-10-15 - Publisher: UnlistedSIM (https://unlistedsim.com) Why a travel eSIM often gives you an IP address from another country, what home routing and local breakout mean, why it matters for banking, streaming, China and latency, and exactly what our registry will publish per plan. **Quick answer** **eSIM IP address:** usually not the country you are visiting. With home routing, the usual setup in roaming, your IP address comes from the network that issued the eSIM profile; with local breakout, it is a local address (IETF). **UnlistedSIM**, a no-ID eSIM seller paid in crypto with plans from $1.09, has not published its per-plan exit countries yet: this registry sets out the 8 columns we will publish and how we will measure them. ## Exit IP and routing: key facts | Attribute | Value | | --- | --- | | Home routing (common in roaming) | The IP address is assigned by the network that issued the profile, and all traffic goes back to it (IETF) | | Local breakout | The IP address is assigned by the visited network, and traffic leaves locally (IETF) | | UnlistedSIM per-plan exit countries | Not published yet | | What the registry will publish | Exit country, routing type, median latency to 3 targets, IPv6 yes or no, and for China a dated Google and WhatsApp test | | What it will never publish | Full IP addresses, hostnames, network numbers (ASNs), ICCID or IMSI prefixes | | Licence planned for the data | CC BY 4.0, with a link to this page, once the first dated rows are published | | Encryption | No VPN included; HTTPS and radio-link encryption remain separate | | ID / KYC at checkout | None: no ID document, no selfie, no email | ## Why is my IP address not in the country I am visiting? Because a travel eSIM usually works in roaming, and roaming usually means home routing. Your phone connects to a local antenna, but the subscription belongs to a network in another country. The IETF's analysis of roaming architectures (draft-ietf-v6ops-ipv6-roaming-analysis-03) describes two cases: - **Home routing**: the IP address is allocated by the home network, the one that issued the profile, and all traffic is routed back to that home network. Websites see an IP address in the home network's country. - **Local breakout**: the IP address is allocated by the visited network, and traffic leaves locally. Websites see a local IP address. The same document notes that local breakout gives lower latency, with fewer network hops, because home routing adds a detour through the home network. Which case applies is decided by the network that issued the profile and its agreement with the visited network, not by your phone. ## What is the difference between home routing and local breakout? Who assigns your IP address, and therefore which country websites think you are in. ### Routing types and what they change *Source: IETF draft-ietf-v6ops-ipv6-roaming-analysis-03 (9 August 2014). Our registry will also record any exit that is in neither the visited country nor the issuing network's country.* | Routing type | Who assigns the IP address | Country websites see | Latency | Typical consequence | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Home routing | The network that issued the eSIM profile | The issuing network's country | Higher: traffic makes a detour (IETF) | Your IP country and your location do not match | | Local breakout | The visited network | The country you are in | Lower, with fewer hops (IETF) | Local rules, including website blocking, apply to the connection | ## Which exit country do UnlistedSIM plans use? **We have not published it yet.** We have not measured it plan by plan, so we state nothing per plan until a dated test exists. What decides it: the network that issued the profile of each plan, and the routing agreed with the visited network. The answer can differ between two destinations, and it can change over time. It is not something the buyer chooses at checkout. While the data is missing, assume that your exit IP address may be in a country other than the one you visit. Check it yourself after activation (steps below), and keep this in mind for banking apps and streaming services. For China, read [eSIM in China: do Google and WhatsApp work?](https://unlistedsim.com/esim-china-google-whatsapp/): we have not tested Google or WhatsApp on our plans there. ## What will the Exit-IP & Routing Registry publish? One row per plan and destination, with 8 columns. No column will be filled with an estimate: a value appears only after a dated test. ### The 8 columns of the registry *Planned data licence: CC BY 4.0, from the first published row. Each row will carry its own test date, so its age is visible.* | Column | What it will contain | How it will be measured | | --- | --- | --- | | Plan and destination | The plan as sold on our pages, and the country where it was tested | From the order used for the test | | Test date and city | The day and the city of the measurement | Recorded at the time of the test | | Exit country | The country of the public IP address that websites see | Read from at least two independent IP geolocation services; if they disagree, both answers are shown | | Routing type | Home routing, local breakout, or an exit in a third country | Exit country compared with the visited country and with the country of the issuing network | | Median latency to 3 targets | Round-trip time in milliseconds to three fixed public targets, the same for every row | Median of repeated measurements, with the number of samples shown | | IPv6 | Yes or no: does the connection receive a public IPv6 address? | Checked on the device, then with an IPv6 test service | | China only: Google | Whether Google Search opened on mobile data | Tested in a named city, on a stated date | | China only: WhatsApp | Whether a WhatsApp message was sent and received on mobile data | Tested in a named city, on a stated date | ## How will the exit country and the routing be measured? With the same steps for every plan, so that rows can be compared. ### Test protocol 1. **Buy the plan like any customer** — The eSIM is ordered through the normal checkout and installed on a test phone from its QR code. 2. **Connect in the destination** — Wi-Fi is turned off and mobile data runs on the travel eSIM, in the destination country. A row tested elsewhere will say so. 3. **Read the public IP address** — The IPv4 address, and the IPv6 address if one is assigned, are read from at least two independent IP lookup services. Only the country is published. 4. **Classify the routing** — Same country as the visited one: local breakout. Country of the network that issued the profile: home routing. Any other country: recorded as an exit in a third country, with the country named. 5. **Measure the latency** — Repeated round-trip measurements to three fixed public targets; the median and the number of samples are recorded. 6. **China only: test Google and WhatsApp** — Google Search and a WhatsApp message on mobile data, with the city and the date. A result describes that day and that city, not a guarantee. **What the registry will never publish:** full IP addresses, hostnames, network numbers (ASNs), and ICCID or IMSI prefixes. The exit country, the routing type and the latency answer the reader's question; the rest would identify our commercial partners and individual connections. Corrections will be dated in the [changelog](https://unlistedsim.com/changelog/). ## Why does the exit country matter? Because websites and apps decide what to show, and whether to trust you, from your IP address. - **Banking and login apps.** A bank or an authentication app may flag a login, or lock you out, when your IP country and your location do not match. Keep your home SIM active for SMS codes. - **Streaming and geo-blocks.** Services that license content by country usually decide your catalogue from your IP address, so a home-routed eSIM may show the issuing network's catalogue, not the one of the country you visit or your own. - **China.** A secondary travel guide says a travel eSIM that reaches the global internet directly usually needs no VPN, but warns that traffic routed through local Chinese networks may still be blocked. Jetpac, an eSIM seller, says its China eSIM keeps Google blocked while WhatsApp works. It depends on the routing of each plan, and we have not tested ours. Apple also says eSIMs from carriers outside mainland China cannot be installed there: install before you go. - **Latency.** Home routing adds a detour through the issuing network (IETF). Video calls and games feel it first when the issuing network is far away. ## What do other no-KYC eSIM sellers disclose about exit IPs? Little, and unevenly. The only comparison we found is a forum post: a tester on the official GrapheneOS forum posted results on 21 May 2026 for several no-KYC eSIM sellers, including Silent.link, VoidMob, LNVPN (now nadanada) and PikaSim; read the thread for each result. ### Exit-IP disclosure, as reported by a third-party tester We sell eSIMs. Our plans are included in this comparison and marked. The other rows report a forum user's findings of 21 May 2026, which we have not re-tested; the sellers may have changed since. | Seller | What the tester reported about the exit IP | | --- | --- | | UnlistedSIM (us) | Not published yet: this registry describes what we will publish | | PikaSim | The exit location is shown before connecting | | VoidMob | The exit country and the carrier can be chosen, as reported by the tester (not verified) | | Silent.link | A single exit IP address, visible only by asking support | | LNVPN (now redirects to nadanada) | Read the thread | *Checked on October 9, 2026.* Source: GrapheneOS Discussion Forum, thread 35716, post of 21 May 2026. lnvpn.net/esim redirected to nadanada.me/esim on 9 October 2026. More on these sellers: [PikaSim](https://unlistedsim.com/alternatives/pikasim/), [VoidMob](https://unlistedsim.com/alternatives/voidmob/), [nadanada](https://unlistedsim.com/alternatives/nadanada/), [Silent.link alternative](https://unlistedsim.com/silent-link-alternative/). ## Do I need a VPN with a travel eSIM? If you need encryption, yes: an eSIM does not itself provide a VPN tunnel. - **What the eSIM does not do.** The operators that carry your traffic, the visited network and, with home routing, the issuing network, can see which servers you connect to. HTTPS protects the content of most websites, not the destinations. - **What a VPN changes.** It encrypts the traffic between your device and the VPN server, hides the destinations from the mobile operators, and makes websites see the VPN server's IP address instead of the eSIM's exit IP. - **What a VPN does not change.** The mobile network still sees your device (IMEI) and its approximate location, and the VPN provider sees your traffic instead of the operator. - **Local law.** Some countries restrict VPN use. Check the rules of the country you visit. The [who sees what](https://unlistedsim.com/who-sees-what/) page lists every party that sees part of your connection. ## How can I check my exit IP myself? In two minutes, after you activate the eSIM. 1. **Turn off Wi-Fi**, so the phone uses the travel eSIM's mobile data. 2. **Open two different IP lookup websites** in the browser and note the country each one shows. 3. **Compare IPv4 and IPv6.** Some lookup sites show both; the two addresses can be placed in different countries. 4. **Compare with where you are.** The same country suggests local breakout; another country suggests home routing, or an exit in a third country. 5. **Check again in each new country**, since the routing can differ between destinations. ## Exit IP and travel eSIMs: FAQ ### Will my IP address be in the country I visit with a travel eSIM? Often not. Most travel eSIMs work in roaming, and with home routing the IP address comes from the network that issued the profile, in its country. With local breakout, the address is local. Which case applies depends on the plan and the destination, not on your phone. Check with two IP lookup sites after activation, with Wi-Fi off. ### Which country will my IP be in with an UnlistedSIM eSIM? We have not published it yet. Our per-plan exit countries and routing types will appear in this registry only after dated tests. Until then, assume the exit IP may be in another country than the one you visit. UnlistedSIM, a no-ID eSIM seller paid in crypto, sells plans from $1.09 with no ID and no email. ### What is home routing? Home routing is the roaming setup where the network that issued your eSIM profile assigns your IP address and all your traffic goes back through it, as the IETF describes. Websites then see an IP address in that network's country. It adds a detour, so latency is usually higher than with local breakout. ### What is local breakout? Local breakout is the roaming setup where the visited network assigns your IP address and your traffic leaves locally. Websites see an IP address in the country you are in, local rules apply, and latency is usually lower, with fewer network hops, according to the IETF's analysis of roaming architectures. ### Does a travel eSIM hide my location? No. The visited network sees your device (IMEI) and its approximate location through the cells it uses, whatever the exit IP. Only websites may see another country, because of the IP address. An eSIM does not itself provide a VPN tunnel either. Our checkout asks for no ID, but that is private checkout; networks still see device identifiers and location. ### Do I need a VPN with a travel eSIM? Consider a VPN for an additional tunnel or a chosen exit country. An eSIM does not itself provide that tunnel: the operators can see which servers you contact, while HTTPS protects the content of most sites. A VPN encrypts traffic to its server and changes the IP websites see. It does not hide your device or location from the mobile network. Some countries restrict VPNs. ### Will my banking app work with a travel eSIM? Usually, but it may flag the login if your IP country and your location do not match, which happens with home routing. Some banking or authentication apps may even lock you out until you confirm the login another way. Keep your home SIM active for SMS codes, since UnlistedSIM eSIMs are data only, with no phone number. ### Do Google and WhatsApp work in China with a travel eSIM? It depends on the routing of the plan, and it is not guaranteed. eSIM sellers disagree: Jetpac says its China eSIM keeps Google blocked while WhatsApp works, and KnowRoaming says both work on its China eSIM. We have not tested Google or WhatsApp on our plans in China; the registry will publish a dated test with the city. Install the eSIM before you arrive, as Apple advises. ## Sources 1.

Grouped in six themes: buying, privacy, payment, use, countries and refunds. **Quick answer — What should I know before buying an eSIM with no ID?** UnlistedSIM offers an eSIM without ID or email at checkout, from $1.09, with a random account number for login. Updated October 2026: plans are data only, paid from a crypto balance topped up from $10. Country activation rules remain separate, and mobile networks still see device identifiers and approximate location. ## Buying without ID ### Is there an eSIM that doesn't require ID? Yes. UnlistedSIM sells data-only eSIMs with no ID document, no ID number, no selfie and no email at checkout, paid in crypto, from $1.09. A random account number is your login. Some countries require ID for SIM cards sold locally; the [Travel eSIM ID Registry](https://unlistedsim.com/travel-esim-id-registry/) shows what each law covers and what is documented for a travel eSIM in roaming. ### What does "no KYC" mean at UnlistedSIM? It means no identity check at purchase: no ID document, no ID number, no selfie and no email. It does not change what happens on the network or under local law. The network you connect to still sees your device and its approximate location, and some countries require ID for local SIM cards. If a local network ever required an ID check for a destination, that plan page would say so before you pay. Level by level: [no-KYC eSIM](https://unlistedsim.com/no-kyc-esim/). ### Is an UnlistedSIM eSIM anonymous? No. No-ID checkout does not hide the phone from mobile networks: they still see subscription and device identifiers and approximate location. We keep no ID document or required email, but account, order and payment records exist. See [who sees what](https://unlistedsim.com/who-sees-what/) and [the data list](https://unlistedsim.com/what-we-collect/). ### Do I need an account? Yes, but it holds no name, email or phone number. A random account number is generated at checkout and is your login; no email is needed to log in. The account keeps your balance, your orders and the QR codes of your eSIMs. You may add an email in the client area for receipts, reminders or recovery of the account number; it stays optional. Keep the account number safe. ### Do I need a selfie or a face scan? No. UnlistedSIM never asks for a selfie, a face scan or fingerprints. Biometric checks exist for local SIM cards in some countries: South Korea, for example, checks new local lines by facial recognition or a mobile ID app since 6 July 2026, according to the Korea Times. Those rules target lines sold in the country. Country by country: [Travel eSIM ID Registry](https://unlistedsim.com/travel-esim-id-registry/). ### How do I buy an eSIM without an email? Pick a plan, top up your balance in crypto from $10, and wait for the network confirmations. The eSIM is bought from the balance, and its QR code and activation code appear in your account as soon as it is ready. Install it on Wi-Fi before you leave. Step by step: [how it works](https://unlistedsim.com/how-it-works/). ## Privacy and data ### What data do you keep about me? Four groups: the account number and its balance, your orders and eSIMs, the status and data used of each eSIM as reported by our partner network, and for each top-up the coin, the network, the amount and the transaction ID. The client area also lists your logged-in devices. An email, a password and two-factor authentication are optional. We hold no name, phone number or ID document. Field by field: [what we collect](https://unlistedsim.com/what-we-collect/). ### How long do you keep my data? Orders are kept as long as your account exists, so the QR code can be shown again and refunds can be credited, then deleted with the account. When you delete your account, the account number, its orders and its balance are erased; the published deletion rule names no other item. Each item and its retention rule is listed on [data retention](https://unlistedsim.com/data-retention/), and the fields themselves on [what we collect](https://unlistedsim.com/what-we-collect/). ### Can I delete my account? Yes, on request from your account, at any time; the account number, its orders and its balance are then erased. Deletion is final: any balance left on the account is erased with it and is not paid out, so spend it first. Remove the eSIM profiles from your phone only once their plans are finished, because a deleted profile may not install again. ### Can an eSIM be tracked? Yes, by the mobile network, like any SIM. The network you connect to sees your device identifier (IMEI) and its approximate location from the cell towers, and it carries your traffic. An eSIM bought with no ID removes the identity link at purchase, not the network's view of the device. Each party and what it sees: [who sees what](https://unlistedsim.com/who-sees-what/). ### Which country will my IP address be in? It depends on how the plan is routed, and we have not yet published it plan by plan. With home routing, the IP address comes from the network that issued the eSIM, often in another country; with local breakout, it comes from the visited network (IETF). This decides which country websites see. Status per plan: [exit-IP registry](https://unlistedsim.com/exit-ip-registry/). ### Do you log IP addresses or use analytics? Visitor IP addresses are not written to our web server access logs and are never attached to an account. The site runs no analytics and sets no tracking cookies; outside the client area, your browser only remembers your language choice. The mobile network you connect to keeps its own records under its own rules, and your crypto payment stays visible on its blockchain. See [who sees what](https://unlistedsim.com/who-sees-what/). ### Will you give my data to the police? We answer only legally binding orders under the law of Panama, where the operating company is registered. We can only hand over what we hold: the account number, orders, balance, eSIM status and data used, logged-in devices and payment records (coin, network, amount, transaction ID). No name or ID document is linked to an account, and an email only if the customer added one. Requests will be counted in a transparency report, the first in January 2027. Details: [law enforcement requests](https://unlistedsim.com/law-enforcement-requests/). ### Does an eSIM encrypt my traffic? No. An eSIM is a SIM profile, not a security tool: the mobile network carries your traffic as with any SIM, and the eSIM does not include a VPN. Websites that use HTTPS stay encrypted as usual. Use a VPN if you need to hide your traffic from the network, and check the rules on VPNs where you travel. ### Who runs UnlistedSIM? eSIMGoat LLC, a company registered in Panama. It sells data-only eSIMs with no ID at checkout, paid in crypto, and publishes the registries on this site. We publish no founding year, team size, customer numbers or reviews, only facts we can show. Legal requests follow the law of Panama. More on [about](https://unlistedsim.com/about/). ## Paying in crypto ### Which cryptocurrencies do you accept? We accept Bitcoin (BTC), Tether (USDT), USD Coin (USDC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Litecoin (LTC). USDT is accepted on TRC-20 (Tron) or ERC-20 (Ethereum), and USDC on ERC-20. Send each coin only on the network shown on the payment page: funds sent on another network can't be recovered. There is no card, bank transfer or PayPal option. ### Do you accept Monero (XMR)? No. We don't accept Monero (XMR), and we prefer to say so here rather than at checkout. The coins we accept, BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC, all use public blockchains. How much each one reveals, and how to pay with less exposure, is explained on [pay privately](https://unlistedsim.com/pay-privately/). Sellers that accept XMR, checked in October 2026: [Which eSIM sellers accept Monero?](https://unlistedsim.com/pay-privately/monero/) ### Which crypto reveals the least when I buy an eSIM? Among the coins we accept, the difference comes mostly from your wallet, not the coin. All of them use public blockchains, where the amount, the time and the addresses are visible. A wallet funded from an exchange account that verified your identity links the payment to you; a wallet you control, not tied to your name, reveals less. Coin by coin: [pay privately](https://unlistedsim.com/pay-privately/). ### What is the minimum top-up? $10. You top up a prepaid balance, the eSIM is bought from it, and the rest stays for later eSIMs and top-ups. Unused balance stays on your account and never expires, and it pays for new eSIMs and top-ups, but it is not refundable. Plans start at $1.09, so one top-up can pay for several eSIMs and one network fee instead of several. Prices: [pricing](https://unlistedsim.com/pricing/). ### How long does a crypto payment take to be credited? It is credited after the network confirmations, and their number depends on the coin. The payment table on [how it works](https://unlistedsim.com/how-it-works/) lists the confirmations and their usual times for each coin and network. The eSIM is bought as soon as the top-up is credited, and its QR code appears in your account when it is ready. ### What if I send the wrong amount or use the wrong network? Funds sent on another network, or in another coin, can't be recovered, so always use the network shown. Send the exact amount too: each top-up is matched to your account by its exact amount. If the amount differs, the payment cannot be matched automatically; write to support from the client area with the coin, the network, the amount and the transaction ID. ### Is the deposit address unique to me? No. Deposit addresses are currently fixed per network and shared by all customers; your top-up is identified by its exact amount. On the blockchain, anyone can see that your wallet paid that address. We never print the addresses on this website: the payment page shows the one for your coin and network. ## Using the eSIM ### Does the eSIM include a phone number? No. UnlistedSIM eSIMs are data only: no phone number, no calls and no SMS. Messaging and calling apps work over the data connection with the account you already have, where the local network allows them. Sellers that include a number are compared on [eSIMs with a phone number](https://unlistedsim.com/esim-phone-numbers/). ### Can I still receive bank SMS codes abroad? Yes, on your home SIM, not on the eSIM. Keep your home SIM active next to the eSIM (dual SIM): texts from your bank keep arriving on your usual number. Your home operator may charge for texts and calls received abroad. Keep data roaming off on the home line to avoid data charges. ### Which phones work with the eSIM? Phones that support eSIM and are not locked to a carrier: iPhone XS, XS Max, XR or later (Apple), Pixel 3a or later (Google), and the Samsung models on Samsung's official list. iPhones bought in mainland China, Hong Kong or Macao have exceptions. Check before buying: [devices](https://unlistedsim.com/devices/). ### When should I install the eSIM? Before you leave, at home, on Wi-Fi. Apple says an iPhone must be on Wi-Fi or a hotspot to set up an eSIM, except some eSIM-only models in some countries. For mainland China, installing before entry is required: Apple says foreign eSIMs can't be installed there. Turn the line on when you land. Guide: [how it works](https://unlistedsim.com/how-it-works/). ### Can I use the eSIM as a hotspot? The hotspot rule of each plan is not yet published, so we do not promise that sharing the connection works. Some travel plans on the market limit or block tethering. If you need to connect a laptop or a travel router, read [using an eSIM in a travel router](https://unlistedsim.com/travel-router-esim/) and ask support before buying. ### Is the eSIM 5G? We do not claim 5G for our plans. The network generation of each plan is not yet published, so the plan tables show none. Where a destination has 5G networks, a travel eSIM may or may not use them; the plan tables will show it once it is confirmed. ### What happens if I delete the eSIM from my phone? It may be lost. An eSIM QR code usually works only once, according to eSIM sellers Yesim and eSIMCard, so a deleted profile may not install again, and an installed eSIM is not refunded. Your account can show the QR code again, but we have not published a re-issue policy. Turn the line off instead of deleting it. ### Is "unlimited" really unlimited? Our unlimited plans carry a fair-use cap: fair use, 2 GB a day at full speed. The speed after that allowance is not yet published, and we do not promise one. If you need a known amount of fast data, a fixed plan of 5, 10 or 20 GB is the safer choice. Prices: [pricing](https://unlistedsim.com/pricing/). ### Can I use a travel eSIM for months in one country? Plans last 7 or 30 days; for a longer stay, you buy a new plan from your balance. We do not know yet whether our partner networks restrict a line that stays in roaming for months, and we found no published rule for this case (checked 9 October 2026). Some countries have their own rules for long stays, such as Turkey, where foreign phones can be blocked after 120 days without registration. Details: [long stays](https://unlistedsim.com/long-stays/). ## Countries and laws ### Which countries require ID for a SIM card? Requirements depend on the country, subscription and activation process. The [SIM and eSIM ID rules by country (2026)](https://unlistedsim.com/travel-esim-id-registry/) cites regulators, statutes and operator requirements separately, with explicit unknowns. Its [Europe guide](https://unlistedsim.com/europe-mobile-data-without-id/) compares national rules; EU roaming arrangements do not create one EU-wide identification rule. ### Is it legal to use a travel eSIM without registering it locally? UnlistedSIM asks for no ID document or required email at checkout. That policy does not establish a country exemption: identification of a local subscription, purchase of a travel profile and its use on a visited network are different questions. The [country registry](https://unlistedsim.com/travel-esim-id-registry/) records their scope, source dates and unknowns. Device-registration exemptions do not establish subscriber-identification exemptions, and no legal conclusion is given. ### Does a travel eSIM work in China without a VPN? Not tested yet on our plans, so we make no prediction for them. A China travel guide reports that Google and WhatsApp are generally reachable when an eSIM's traffic exits outside mainland China (home routing), and may be blocked when it goes through Chinese networks. We have not published the routing of our China plans. Install the eSIM before you enter mainland China: Apple says foreign eSIMs can't be installed there. Local laws apply. Details: [eSIM in China](https://unlistedsim.com/esim-china-google-whatsapp/). ### Are eSIMs blocked in Turkey? The eSIMs are not the target; eSIM sellers' websites and apps are. Turkey's regulator (BTK) blocked the sites and apps of at least 35 eSIM providers in July 2025, according to Intellinews. Buy and install before you arrive. Foreign phones can also be blocked after 120 days without registration; sources disagree on whether this applies in roaming. Details: [are eSIMs blocked in Turkey?](https://unlistedsim.com/turkey-esim-restrictions/) ### Can I get mobile data in Europe without ID? With a local prepaid SIM, often not: 19 of the 28 European countries studied by Cullen International require prepaid customers to register (October 2025). UnlistedSIM eSIMs, including the Europe eSIM, are bought with no ID; travel eSIMs usually connect in roaming. The Europe eSIM covers 49 countries from $1.29. Details: [Europe without ID](https://unlistedsim.com/europe-mobile-data-without-id/). ## Refunds and balance ### Can I get a refund? Not to your wallet. An eSIM you never installed, or one we could not deliver, is credited back to your UnlistedSIM balance. An installed eSIM is not refunded, even if you never used its data, and the balance itself is not refundable. Check that your phone supports eSIM and is unlocked before buying. The cases one by one: [refunds](https://unlistedsim.com/refunds/). ### Does my balance expire? No. Unused balance stays on your account and never expires, and it pays for new eSIMs and top-ups, but it is not refundable. You can keep it for your next trip, a data top-up or another destination. Deleting your account erases the balance, so spend it first. ### Can I withdraw my balance in crypto? No. The balance is not refundable and cannot be withdrawn to a wallet. It pays for eSIMs and top-ups on UnlistedSIM, with no expiry date. Because of that, top up close to what you plan to spend: the minimum is $10, and plans start at $1.09. ### What if my eSIM does not work? First check the settings: the eSIM line is on, it is chosen for mobile data, data roaming is allowed on it, and you are in a country the plan covers. Then restart the phone. If it still does not connect, write to support@unlistedsim.com. Email replies within 12 hours, 7 days a week, including help with installing and activating your eSIM. The troubleshooting list is on [refunds](https://unlistedsim.com/refunds/). ## Sources 1.

GrapheneOS can add an eSIM once you turn on Settings > Network & internet > eSIM support, which is off by default and needs no Google Play. **UnlistedSIM**, a no-ID eSIM seller paid in crypto, delivers a QR code and activation code with no ID and no email, from $1.09. We have not published our own GrapheneOS test yet. A tester on the official GrapheneOS forum posted results for several no-KYC eSIM sellers on 21 May 2026. ## eSIM on GrapheneOS: key facts | Attribute | Value | | --- | --- | | eSIMs already installed | Work by default (baseline eSIM support) | | Adding and managing eSIMs | Needs proprietary Google functionality, fully disabled by default | | Where to turn it on | Settings > Network & internet > eSIM support (the toggle persists across reboots) | | Google Play needed? | No: eSIM management does not depend on Google Play and shares no data with it | | Phones | 21 devices with official GrapheneOS support (Pixel 6 to Pixel 10 series, Pixel Fold, Pixel Tablet); the Pixel Tablet has no mobile network | | Two active eSIMs | From the Pixel 7, if the carrier allows it (Google) | | Install methods | QR code, or the activation code (LPA string) typed in | | UnlistedSIM tested on GrapheneOS? | Not yet: no test published | | ID / KYC at checkout | None: no ID document, no selfie, no email | | Payment | Crypto only: BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC, top-up from $10 | ## Does GrapheneOS support eSIM? Yes, with one switch to turn on. The GrapheneOS usage guide says the system has always shipped with baseline eSIM support: eSIMs installed earlier on the device keep working. To add or manage eSIMs, proprietary Google functionality is needed, and GrapheneOS keeps it fully disabled by default. The guide adds three points that matter to privacy-minded users: - eSIM management on GrapheneOS **does not depend on Google Play**, and it never shares data with Google Play, even when Google Play is installed; - it **does not connect to a Google service** unless the carrier itself uses one; - the eSIM support toggle **persists across every boot**. Source: [GrapheneOS usage guide, eSIM support](https://grapheneos.org/usage), checked on 9 October 2026. ## How do I install a no-ID eSIM on GrapheneOS? Turn on eSIM support, then add the eSIM with the QR code or the activation code from your UnlistedSIM account. Install it at home, on Wi-Fi, before you travel. ### Step by step 1. **Turn on eSIM support** — Go to Settings > Network & internet > eSIM support and switch it on (GrapheneOS usage guide). 2. **Open the QR code on another screen** — In your UnlistedSIM account, open My eSIMs: the QR code and the activation code appear as soon as the eSIM is ready, after the crypto top-up is credited. 3. **Add the eSIM** — Go to Settings > Network & internet > SIMs > Add SIM, the path Google documents for Pixel phones, then download an eSIM and scan the QR code. Menu labels can differ between GrapheneOS builds. 4. **If the QR code fails, type the activation code** — The code from your account starts with LPA: and contains the address of the profile server and a matching ID, in the GSMA standard format. Typing it in installs the same profile as the QR code. 5. **If it stops at "Checking network info..."** — The GrapheneOS guide says to enable DSDS in the phone's testing menu, opened with a dialler code, if the installation does not get past that stage despite a stable connection. The code is in the note below. 6. **Choose the eSIM for mobile data and turn on roaming when you land** — Keep your home SIM for calls and SMS, set the travel eSIM for mobile data, and turn on roaming for it: travel eSIMs usually connect in roaming. **Installation stuck at "Checking network info..."?** The GrapheneOS usage guide says that you may need to dial `*#*#4636#*#*` and enable DSDS in the menu that opens, if the eSIM installation does not get past that stage despite a stable internet connection. > **eSIM with a PIN** The GrapheneOS guide recommends leaving eSIM support on after activation if the eSIM is locked with a PIN. You can then disable the eSIM on the lock screen if you forget the PIN. With the toggle off and the PIN forgotten, only the PUK gives access to the device. ## Which Pixel phones can run GrapheneOS with an eSIM? Every phone on GrapheneOS's official list has an eSIM: they are all Pixel phones from the Pixel 6 on, and Google says the Pixel 3a and later support eSIM. The one tablet on the list has no mobile network. As of 9 October 2026, the GrapheneOS FAQ lists official production support for 21 devices: Pixel 10a, Pixel 10 Pro Fold, Pixel 10 Pro XL, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10, Pixel 9a, Pixel 9 Pro Fold, Pixel 9 Pro XL, Pixel 9 Pro, Pixel 9, Pixel 8a, Pixel 8 Pro, Pixel 8, Pixel Fold, Pixel Tablet, Pixel 7a, Pixel 7 Pro, Pixel 7, Pixel 6a, Pixel 6 Pro and Pixel 6. The Pixel Tablet is a Wi-Fi tablet with no mobile network, so it cannot use a mobile eSIM. Google adds two details: from the Pixel 7, two eSIMs can be active at once if the carrier allows it, and the Pixel 10 and later models, except the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, are eSIM-only in the United States. More on Pixel models and identifiers in our [Google Pixel guide](https://unlistedsim.com/devices/google-pixel/). ## What did the GrapheneOS forum test of no-KYC eSIMs find? It reported how several no-KYC eSIMs behaved on GrapheneOS, and warned that buying without KYC does not hide network identifiers or location. A tester on the official GrapheneOS forum posted results on 21 May 2026 for several no-KYC eSIM sellers, including Silent.link, VoidMob, LNVPN (now nadanada) and PikaSim; read the thread for each result. These are a third party's findings, not ours, and the sellers may have changed since. ### No-KYC eSIM sellers in the GrapheneOS forum test We sell eSIMs. Our plans are included in this comparison and marked: UnlistedSIM was not part of the test, and our row says what we have and have not published. Crypto lists come from each seller's own pages, checked on 9 October 2026. | Seller | GrapheneOS activation | Crypto accepted | Exit IP | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | UnlistedSIM (us) | Not tested yet: no test published | BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC; no Monero | Per-plan exit country not published yet | | Silent.link | In the forum test: read the thread | BTC on-chain and Lightning, XMR; USDT and other coins through an exchange service | A single exit IP, visible only by asking support (as reported by the tester) | | LNVPN (now redirects to nadanada) | In the forum test: read the thread | nadanada lists Lightning, BTC, USDT, USDC, XMR and others; cards via Stripe | Read the thread | | VoidMob | In the forum test: read the thread | BTC, ETH, SOL and other major coins; XMR and stablecoins according to the tester | Exit country and carrier can be chosen, as reported by the tester (not verified) | | PikaSim | In the forum test: read the thread | BTC on-chain and Lightning, XMR, ZEC, USDT on Tron and 50+ other coins; cards via Stripe | Exit location shown before connecting (as reported by the tester) | *Checked on October 9, 2026.* Sources: GrapheneOS Discussion Forum, thread 35716, post of 21 May 2026; silent.link, nadanada.me/esim, voidmob.com/esim and pikasim.com, checked on 9 October 2026. lnvpn.net/esim redirected to nadanada.me/esim on 9 October 2026. Seller pages: [PikaSim](https://unlistedsim.com/alternatives/pikasim/), [nadanada](https://unlistedsim.com/alternatives/nadanada/), [VoidMob](https://unlistedsim.com/alternatives/voidmob/), [Silent.link](https://unlistedsim.com/silent-link-alternative/). The tester's conclusions: - **A no-ID purchase does not hide the device from mobile networks.** An eSIM deals with SIM registration and can give an IP address in another country, but it does not itself provide a VPN tunnel. The tester suggests adding a VPN. - **Check the exit IP right after activation**, with an IP checker in the browser. - **Routing transparency matters**: banking or authentication apps may lock you out when your location and your IP address do not match. The tester criticised Silent.link for its single exit IP address, visible only by asking support. We have not published our own per-plan exit countries yet either: the [exit-IP registry](https://unlistedsim.com/exit-ip-registry/) says what we will publish and how we will measure it. ## Is a no-ID eSIM on GrapheneOS anonymous? No. GrapheneOS hardens the phone's software, and a no-ID checkout keeps your identity out of the seller's records, but neither changes what a mobile network sees. - **The visited network sees the device**: its IMEI, the device identifier, and its approximate location through the cells it connects to. - **The profile server sees the eSIM chip**: the EID identifies the chip when the profile is downloaded. - **Websites see the exit IP address** of the mobile connection, which may not be in the country you are visiting. - **An eSIM does not itself provide a VPN tunnel.** Use a VPN if you need encryption. That is why we describe UnlistedSIM as private checkout; networks still see device identifiers and location. The [who sees what](https://unlistedsim.com/who-sees-what/) page lists every party, and [is there an anonymous eSIM?](https://unlistedsim.com/anonymous-esim/) answers the question in full. ## What has UnlistedSIM not tested or published yet? We would rather say it than let you assume it: - **No GrapheneOS test of our own.** We have not published an activation test of our eSIMs on GrapheneOS. The steps above come from the GrapheneOS usage guide and Google's Pixel help. When we publish a dated test (device, build, plan), it will appear on this page. - **No per-plan exit country yet.** The routing of each plan (home routing or local breakout) is not published. - **No hotspot rule yet.** Whether each plan allows tethering is not published. - **No 5G claim.** We do not claim 5G for our plans. - **No Monero.** We don't accept XMR. What is in place: no ID, no selfie, no email at checkout, a random account number as the login, crypto payment, and a QR code and activation code in your account. An eSIM that was never installed, or could not be delivered, is credited back to your balance. ## GrapheneOS and no-ID eSIMs: FAQ ### Do I need Google Play services to add an eSIM on GrapheneOS? No. The GrapheneOS usage guide says eSIM management needs proprietary Google functionality, disabled by default, but does not depend on Google Play and never shares data with it, even when Google Play is installed. It does not connect to a Google service unless the carrier itself uses one. Turn it on in Settings > Network & internet > eSIM support. ### Which no-KYC eSIM works on GrapheneOS? We cannot answer from our own tests yet: UnlistedSIM has not published a GrapheneOS test. A tester on the official GrapheneOS forum posted results on 21 May 2026 for several no-KYC eSIM sellers, including Silent.link, VoidMob, LNVPN (now nadanada) and PikaSim; read the thread for each result. The activation code follows the GSMA standard, so the installation steps do not depend on the seller. ### Can I turn eSIM support off after installing the eSIM? Yes: eSIMs installed earlier keep working with baseline support. The GrapheneOS guide makes one exception: if the eSIM is locked with a PIN, leave eSIM support on, so you can disable the eSIM on the lock screen if you forget the PIN. With the toggle off and the PIN forgotten, only the PUK gives access. ### The installation stops at "Checking network info...". What do I do? The GrapheneOS usage guide says you may need to enable DSDS in the phone's testing menu, which opens with a dialler code, if the installation does not progress past that stage despite a stable internet connection. The exact code is in the installation section of this page. Then try again, with the QR code or the activation code. ### Does GrapheneOS hide my IMEI from the mobile network? No. Every mobile network the phone attaches to sees its IMEI and approximate location, whatever the operating system. Installing a new eSIM does not change the IMEI. A no-ID checkout keeps your identity out of our records, not out of the network's view of the device. An eSIM does not itself provide a VPN tunnel: use a VPN for that. ### Which country will my IP address be in on GrapheneOS? It depends on the plan's routing, not on GrapheneOS. With home routing, the usual setup in roaming, the IP address comes from the network that issued the eSIM profile; with local breakout, it is local. We have not published our per-plan exit countries yet. Check it yourself right after activation: turn Wi-Fi off and open two IP lookup sites in the browser. ### Can I pay for a no-ID eSIM with Monero? Not at UnlistedSIM: we don't accept Monero (XMR). We accept BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC, from a top-up of $10. Silent.link, nadanada (formerly LNVPN) and PikaSim list XMR on their own pages (checked 9 October 2026), and the forum tester reported that VoidMob accepts it. Our [pay privately guide](https://unlistedsim.com/pay-privately/) explains what each coin we accept reveals. ## Sources 1.

[Find your eSIM](https://unlistedsim.com/destinations/) · [See prices](https://unlistedsim.com/pricing/) --- UnlistedSIM: UnlistedSIM offers an eSIM without ID or email at checkout, from $1.09. Data only, crypto only; sourced country ID rules and privacy limits. --- # How do I buy an eSIM without email or sign-up? > Buy an eSIM without email or sign-up: top up in crypto from $10, keep the random account number, get the QR code, install it on Wi-Fi before you leave. - URL: https://unlistedsim.com/how-it-works/ - Last updated: 2026-10-15 - Publisher: UnlistedSIM (https://unlistedsim.com) Seven steps from choosing a plan to your first connection abroad, with the two mistakes that cost travellers their eSIM: installing too late and deleting the profile. **Quick answer — How do I buy an eSIM without an email address?** UnlistedSIM sells an eSIM without ID or email from $1.09. Choose a plan, fund your balance in crypto from $10, and save the random account number used for login. The QR and activation code appear in your account when ready. Updated October 2026: email recovery remains optional; without it, protect that account number. ## What do I need before I buy? | Attribute | Value | | --- | --- | | ID document, ID number, selfie | None | | Email address | Not asked at checkout or needed to log in: a random account number generated for you is your login. An email is optional, in the client area | | Payment | Crypto only: Bitcoin (BTC), Tether (USDT), USD Coin (USDC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Litecoin (LTC); USDT on TRC-20 or ERC-20, USDC on ERC-20 | | Minimum top-up | $10, credited to a prepaid balance | | When the balance is credited | After the network confirmations; their number depends on the coin | | Delivery | QR code and activation code in your account, under My eSIMs, as soon as the eSIM is ready | | Where to install | On Wi-Fi, before you leave; before you enter mainland China | | Phone number | None: data only | | Never do this | Delete an installed eSIM profile | | If you do not install it | The eSIM can be credited back to your balance | ## How do the seven purchase and installation steps work? 1. **Pick a destination and a plan** — Find your country in the destination finder, or choose the Europe or global eSIM for a trip through several countries. First check that your phone supports eSIM and is not locked to a carrier: devices. 2. **Top up in crypto, on the exact network** — Top up $10 or more in BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC. Send the exact amount shown, on the network shown: USDT on TRC-20 or ERC-20, USDC on ERC-20. Funds sent on another network can't be recovered. 3. **Wait for the network confirmations** — Your balance is credited once the network has confirmed the transaction. The number of confirmations depends on the coin: see the table further down this page. 4. **The eSIM is bought from your balance** — If you started from a plan, the eSIM is bought as soon as the top-up is credited. What is left stays on your balance for other eSIMs and top-ups. 5. **Open your QR code in your account** — The QR code and the activation code appear in your account, under My eSIMs, as soon as the eSIM is ready. No email is needed to get them. 6. **Install it on Wi-Fi before you leave** — Scan the QR code from another screen, or type the activation code by hand. Apple says an iPhone must be on Wi-Fi or a hotspot to set up an eSIM, except some eSIM-only models in some countries (Apple 118227). 7. **Turn the line on when you land** — Turn the eSIM line on, choose it for mobile data, and allow data roaming on that line. Keep the profile on your phone after the trip: never delete it while the plan can still be used. ## What is the account number, and why is no email needed? An UnlistedSIM eSIM without ID or email still uses an account: a random number is the login, not an email address. Plans start at $1.09. Updated October 2026: email, password and two-factor settings are optional. Without a recovery email, losing the account number can mean losing access to the balance and QR codes. Keep the account number in a password manager and never publish it in a screenshot or forum post. You can add or remove the optional recovery email in the client area. We never ask for your account number or your eSIM activation code (QR code) by email or chat. The full field list is on [what we collect](https://unlistedsim.com/what-we-collect/). ## How does the crypto payment work? The checkout runs on a prepaid balance. Deposit addresses are never printed on this website: the payment page shows the one for the coin and network you picked. 1. **Top up $10 or more** — Choose the amount and the coin (BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC). The crypto amount and its rate are locked for 30 minutes. 2. **Send it to the address shown, on the exact network** — The payment page shows our deposit address for the coin and network you picked: BTC on Bitcoin, USDT on Tron (TRC-20) or Ethereum (ERC-20), USDC on Ethereum (ERC-20), ETH on Ethereum, SOL on Solana, LTC on Litecoin. Send only that coin on that network: funds sent on another network or in another coin can’t be recovered. The network fee comes on top of the amount. 3. **Send the exact amount shown, then click “I’ve sent the payment”** — Each top-up has its own exact amount (down to the last decimals): that is how we find your payment and link it to your account. 4. **Credited once your payment is checked on the blockchain** — Your balance is credited once we have checked the transaction on the blockchain, after the network has confirmed it. Typical network confirmation times: 5. **One balance for every product** — If you started from a plan, the eSIM is bought as soon as the top-up is credited, and its QR code appears in your account. What is left stays on your balance for top-ups and other destinations. Unused balance stays on your account and never expires, and it pays for new eSIMs and top-ups, but it is not refundable. | Crypto | Network | Confirmations | Usual time | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Bitcoin (BTC) | Bitcoin | 2 | ≈ 20 min | | Tether (USDT) | Tron (TRC-20) | 20 | ≈ 1 min | | Tether (USDT) | Ethereum (ERC-20) | 12 | ≈ 5 min | | USD Coin (USDC) | Ethereum (ERC-20) | 12 | ≈ 5 min | | Ethereum (ETH) | Ethereum | 12 | ≈ 5 min | | Solana (SOL) | Solana | 1 | ≈ 1 min | | Litecoin (LTC) | Litecoin | 6 | ≈ 15 min | Closed the tab? The pending top-up stays under Billing in your account: open it to see the address and the exact amount again. ## When should I install the eSIM? Install it before you leave, at home, on Wi-Fi. Apple's instructions say an iPhone must be connected to a Wi-Fi network or a hotspot to set up an eSIM; in some countries, eSIM-only iPhone models can activate without Wi-Fi ([Apple 118227](https://support.apple.com/en-us/118227)). At home you also have time to ask support if a step fails. When the validity of a plan starts, at installation or at the first connection on the destination network, is not yet published plan by plan. To be safe, install the eSIM shortly before departure, not weeks ahead, and turn the line on only when you arrive. Your account keeps the QR code: orders are kept as long as your account exists, so the QR code can be shown again and refunds can be credited, then deleted with the account. ## How do I install it on an iPhone, a Pixel or a Samsung phone? Every compatible phone accepts the QR code or the activation code typed by hand. - **iPhone** (iPhone XS, XS Max, XR or later, per [Apple 118669](https://support.apple.com/en-us/118669)): in Settings, open Cellular or Mobile Data, add an eSIM, then scan the QR code or enter the details manually. - **Google Pixel** (Pixel 3a or later): Settings > Network & internet > SIMs > Add SIM, per [Google's Pixel help](https://support.google.com/pixelphone/answer/9449293?hl=en). - **Samsung Galaxy** (models on Samsung's official list): Settings > Connections > SIM manager > Add eSIM, then scan the QR code or choose "Enter activation code", per [Samsung UK](https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/mobile-devices/galaxy-esim-and-supported-network-carriers/). Samsung warns that, depending on the country of origin, eSIM may not work even on a listed model. Model by model, with the exceptions for phones bought in mainland China, Hong Kong and Macao: [devices](https://unlistedsim.com/devices/). ## Why must I install before I arrive in China or Turkey? Because installing on arrival can be impossible in both countries. - **China:** Apple states that "eSIMs from non-China mainland carriers can't be installed while located in China mainland" ([Apple 123879](https://support.apple.com/en-us/123879), published 9 September 2026). Install before you board. Whether Google and WhatsApp work on our China plans has not been tested yet: see [eSIM in China](https://unlistedsim.com/esim-china-google-whatsapp/). - **Turkey:** Turkey's telecom regulator (BTK) blocked the websites and apps of at least 35 eSIM providers in July 2025, according to Intellinews. Buying, opening your account or reaching support from inside Turkey may fail, so buy and install before you leave. Details: [are eSIMs blocked in Turkey?](https://unlistedsim.com/turkey-esim-restrictions/) Other countries with purchase, installation or device rules are in the [restrictions tracker](https://unlistedsim.com/esim-restrictions-tracker/). ## How do I turn the eSIM on when I land? Turn on the eSIM line, select it for mobile data, and allow data roaming on that line. 1. **Turn on the eSIM line** in your phone's SIM settings. 2. **Choose it for mobile data.** Your home line can stay on for calls and texts: an iPhone with Dual SIM keeps two lines active ([Apple 109317](https://support.apple.com/en-us/109317)). 3. **Allow data roaming on the eSIM line.** Travel eSIMs usually connect to the local network in roaming, and the phone blocks roaming data until it is allowed for that line. 4. **Keep data roaming off on your home line**, or your home operator may bill you for data used abroad. Calls and texts received on the home line abroad may also be billed by your home operator. No signal after a few minutes? Restart the phone, check that the eSIM line is the one chosen for data, then write to support. > **Never delete an installed eSIM profile** An eSIM QR code usually works only once, according to eSIM sellers Yesim and eSIMCard: a deleted profile may not install again, and an installed eSIM is not refunded. Your account can show the QR code again, but showing it does not make it installable a second time, and we have not published a re-issue policy. To stop using the eSIM, turn the line off instead of deleting it. ## What if something does not work? Write to support@unlistedsim.com. Email replies within 12 hours, 7 days a week, including help with installing and activating your eSIM. Describe the phone model, the step that fails and the exact error message. We never ask for your account number or your eSIM activation code (QR code) by email or chat. If the eSIM was never installed, it can be credited back to your balance; an installed eSIM is not refunded. The full rule is on [refunds](https://unlistedsim.com/refunds/). ## What else should I know? ### Do I need an email address to buy an eSIM? No. UnlistedSIM asks for no email at checkout, and you never need one to log in: a random account number is your login, and the QR code is shown in your account. You may add an email in the client area for receipts, reminders or recovery of the account number; it stays optional. You give no name, phone number, ID document or selfie, and you pay in crypto from $10. ### What happens if I lose my account number? If you added the optional recovery email in the client area, you can use it to recover the account number. Without one, a lost account number cannot be recovered, because nothing else on file shows that the account is yours. Keep the number safe from the start, in a password manager for example. That is the trade-off of an account that holds no identity. ### How long does it take to get the QR code? The QR code appears as soon as the eSIM is ready, after your top-up is credited. The credit depends on the network confirmations of your coin, shown in the payment table on this page with their usual times. We do not promise a delivery time in minutes for the eSIM itself. ### Can I buy the eSIM now and install it later? Yes. The QR code stays in your account: orders are kept as long as your account exists, so the QR code can be shown again and refunds can be credited, then deleted with the account. How long an eSIM can wait before installation, and whether the validity starts at installation or at the first connection, are not yet published plan by plan. Install it shortly before you leave, on Wi-Fi, and turn the line on when you land. ### Can I install the same eSIM on two phones? No. An eSIM profile is downloaded once, to one device, and a QR code usually works only once, according to eSIM sellers Yesim and eSIMCard. If you need data on two devices, buy two eSIMs from the same balance, or share the connection from one phone if the plan allows it. ### Do I need Wi-Fi to install the eSIM? On an iPhone, yes in most cases: Apple says the iPhone must be connected to Wi-Fi or a hotspot to set up an eSIM, except some eSIM-only models in some countries ([Apple 118227](https://support.apple.com/en-us/118227)). That is one more reason to install at home, before you leave. ### Will I get a phone number with the eSIM? No. UnlistedSIM eSIMs are data only: no phone number, no calls and no SMS. Keep your home SIM active next to the eSIM so that bank codes still reach you. Sellers that include a number are listed on [eSIMs with a phone number](https://unlistedsim.com/esim-phone-numbers/). ### Will the eSIM work on a carrier-locked phone? Usually not: on a phone locked to a carrier, the profile can install but never connect. On an iPhone, open Settings > General > About: "No SIM restrictions" next to Carrier Lock means the phone is unlocked, and only the carrier can unlock it ([Apple 109316](https://support.apple.com/en-us/109316)). Check before you buy. ## Which sources support this guide? 1. [Apple Support 118227: setting up an eSIM on iPhone](https://support.apple.com/en-us/118227) — Apple (2026-09-17) 2.

Data only, crypto only; sourced country ID rules and privacy limits. --- # Is it legal to buy an eSIM without ID? > Is a no-ID eSIM legal? Compare sourced local SIM rules, roaming scope, unknown cases and separate device requirements. No legal conclusion. - URL: https://unlistedsim.com/is-no-id-esim-legal/ - Last updated: 2026-10-15 - Publisher: UnlistedSIM (https://unlistedsim.com) A checkout policy does not settle a legal question. We report what named sources address, where a roaming exclusion is explicit, and where the evidence remains unknown. **Quick answer — Is a no-ID eSIM legal?** A checkout policy cannot establish legality for a traveller. UnlistedSIM sells an eSIM without ID or email from $1.09. Checked 15 October 2026: Hong Kong’s guidance excludes inbound-roaming SIMs from providers licensed elsewhere. UnlistedSIM’s exact profile qualification remains unverified. Other destinations need their own evidence; this guide offers no legal conclusion. ## What do the published sources actually establish? They establish narrower facts than a worldwide yes or no. A local registration requirement describes a local subscription. A foreign roaming exclusion addresses roaming under that particular instrument. A device-registration or phone-tax exemption concerns the phone, not necessarily the SIM. The [country registry](https://unlistedsim.com/travel-esim-id-registry/) records those categories separately, with source dates and unknown statuses. It is an editorial record of available evidence, not a determination of obligations for every person, profile or use. ## What does Hong Kong say about foreign roaming SIMs? Hong Kong’s Communications Authority guidance GN-15/2021, section 2.5(b), excludes SIM cards issued by providers licensed outside Hong Kong, including inbound roaming by visitors. The [official guidance](https://www.coms-auth.hk/filemanager/statement/en/upload/569/gn152021.pdf) was checked on 15 October 2026. This is a specific scope statement about that regulation. We have not confirmed that every UnlistedSIM profile meets that exclusion. A travel-product label alone does not establish the issuing provider’s qualification. We do not extend the exclusion to other countries or individual situations. ## Why are SIM registration and phone registration separate? SIM registration concerns the subscriber and line. An IMEI rule concerns the device, which can remain the same when a SIM changes. Some countries also have phone import fees. An exception under one system does not establish an exception under the others. For example, the [BTK decision of 20 September 2019](https://www.btk.gov.tr/uploads/boarddecisions/7186-sayili-kanun-kapsaminda-elektronik-kimlik-bilgisini-haiz-cihazlara-iliskin-yapilan-duzenlemeler/183-2019-web.pdf) discusses permanent data roaming and a threshold of 91 accumulated days within 120 days. It contains transitional 2019 procedures; we have not established its current application to UnlistedSIM profiles. Read the [Turkey restrictions guide](https://unlistedsim.com/turkey-esim-restrictions/) before a long stay. ## Does residence or a long stay change the evidence needed? It can change which rules and operator policies need to be checked. A short visit, residence, imported-device use and permanent roaming are different situations. Our travel plan validity is not a guarantee of permission or continuous network service for a long stay. Check the relevant regulator’s current publication and the issuing operator’s terms. Where the record does not establish how a rule applies to residents or a particular profile, we leave it unconfirmed. See [long stays](https://unlistedsim.com/long-stays/). ## Does this guide cover the legality of cryptocurrency payments? No. This research records SIM, roaming and device rules. It does not assess payment or cryptocurrency law for each country or individual. UnlistedSIM accepts Bitcoin (BTC), Tether (USDT), USD Coin (USDC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Litecoin (LTC), with minimum balance top-ups of $10. Those operational facts do not establish a legal conclusion. Transactions remain visible on public blockchains. Our [payment privacy guide](https://unlistedsim.com/pay-privately/) explains the information exposed by the payment rather than giving a legal assessment. ## What does no ID at UnlistedSIM checkout promise? It describes what we request: no passport, identity document, selfie, phone number or email to purchase or log in. A random account number opens the account. Our eSIMs provide mobile data without a phone number. If a local network ever required an ID check for a destination, that plan page would say so before you pay. Account, order and payment records remain. The mobile network still sees identifiers and cell location. Read [what we collect](https://unlistedsim.com/what-we-collect/) and [who sees what](https://unlistedsim.com/who-sees-what/). ## Which questions remain situation-specific? ### Does no rule found mean a no-ID eSIM is permitted? No. It means the sources reviewed did not establish a rule in that category. The destination, profile, issuing operator and person’s circumstances still need to be checked. ### Is this page legal advice? No. It records the scope of published sources and marks unknowns. It does not determine whether a particular purchase or use is lawful. ### Can a traveller assume a foreign eSIM avoids phone registration? No. The subscription and device are separate. Phone-registration and permanent-roaming rules can remain relevant even where a SIM-registration instrument excludes foreign roaming. ## Which sources support this guide? 1.

This page lists what exists, what never existed, and where the rest of the data really sits. **Quick answer — What can UnlistedSIM hand over to the police?** **Only the records that exist here: an account number and balance, orders with ICCIDs, each eSIM's network-reported status and usage, top-up records with transaction IDs, logged-in devices and the optional items listed below.** UnlistedSIM, a no-ID eSIM seller paid in crypto, holds no ID, no name and no location history. We answer only legally binding orders under the law of Panama, where the operating company is registered. Counts appear in our transparency report from January 2027. ## Legal requests at a glance | Attribute | Value | | --- | --- | | Data that exists | Account number and balance; orders (plan, destination, ICCID, QR code and activation code); status, first-connection date, expiry date and data used of each eSIM, as reported by our partner network; top-up records (coin, network, amount, transaction ID); logged-in devices (device name, first and last activity) | | Data that never exists here | Name, ID document, selfie, phone number, postal address, date of birth, location history, browsing history | | Email address | Only if the person added one in the client area or wrote to support@unlistedsim.com | | Password and two-factor setting | Only if the person set them; the password is stored hashed | | IP addresses | Visitor IP addresses are not written to our web server access logs and are never attached to an account | | Legal basis | We answer only legally binding orders under the law of Panama, where the operating company is registered | | Operating company | eSIMGoat LLC, registered in Panama | | Notice to the customer | No promise either way; no notification policy is published | | Reporting | Counted in the [transparency report](https://unlistedsim.com/transparency-report/), first published in January 2027 | | Contact | support@unlistedsim.com | ## What data could UnlistedSIM hand over? Four groups of records, all tied to a random account number, never to a name: the account with its balance, the orders, the network-reported status and usage of each eSIM, and the top-ups. Add the logged-in devices list and any optional item the person set, such as an email. The table lists them, then everything we never hold. ### What exists here, and what does not | Data | Held? | Details | | --- | --- | --- | | Account number | Yes | Random; it is the customer's login. | | Orders | Yes | Plan, destination, ICCID, QR code and activation code. Order records are kept as long as your account exists, so the QR code can be shown again and refunds can be credited, then deleted with the account. | | Balance | Yes | The prepaid balance of the account. | | Top-up records | Yes | Coin, network, exact amount and transaction ID once matched. The transaction ID points to a public blockchain transaction. | | eSIM status and usage | Yes | Status, first-connection date, expiry date and data used of each eSIM, as reported by our partner network. | | Logged-in devices | Yes | Device name, first and last activity, for each device where the account is open. | | Email address (optional) | Only if added | If the person added one in the client area, for receipts, reminders or recovery of the account number. | | Password and two-factor setting | Only if set | The password is stored hashed, never in readable form. | | Support emails | Only if sent | If the person emailed support@unlistedsim.com, the address and the message are in our mailbox. | | Name, ID document, selfie, date of birth | No | Never asked: no KYC at checkout. | | Email address as a login | No | The login is the account number; no email is asked at checkout or needed to log in. | | Phone number | No | Never asked. Our eSIMs are data only, with no phone number. | | Postal address | No | Never asked. | | Location history | No | Our records hold no location history: location data sits with the mobile networks. | | Browsing history or traffic | No | Traffic goes through the mobile networks, not through us. | | IP address logs | No | Visitor IP addresses are not written to our web server access logs and are never attached to an account. | | Card or bank details | No | Crypto only: BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC. | ## Where do location and device data sit? Location data and the phone's network identifiers sit with the mobile networks, not with us. The visited network sees the phone's IMEI, the eSIM's subscription identity (IMSI) and the cells the phone uses. The network that issued the profile sees the subscription and the visited country. Our own records list no IMEI and no location history; the only device details we keep are the name and the first and last activity of each device logged in to the account. Requests for location or device data concern those operators, under the law of their own country. Each party, and what it sees, is on [who sees what](https://unlistedsim.com/who-sees-what/). ## Which requests does UnlistedSIM answer? We answer only legally binding orders under the law of Panama, where the operating company is registered. The operating company is eSIMGoat LLC, registered in Panama. A request that is not a legally binding order under Panamanian law does not obtain customer data. An order can only obtain records that exist, as listed above. This page describes our practice. It is not legal advice, either to authorities or to customers. ## Can a crypto payment be linked to an UnlistedSIM account? Yes, through our records. If an authority has a transaction ID, our top-up records can show which account number it credited, and that account's orders. It also works the other way: an account's top-up records lead to public transactions and their sending addresses. The identity side, if anyone holds it, sits with an exchange that verified the payer. Every coin we accept runs on a public blockchain, and we don't accept Monero (XMR). ## Will UnlistedSIM notify me, or challenge a request? We make no promise either way. No notification policy is published, so we do not describe one here. We do not promise to resist orders: we answer legally binding orders under Panamanian law, with the records that exist. What we do commit to is counting requests in the [transparency report](https://unlistedsim.com/transparency-report/). ## How are requests reported? As counts, in a transparency report. The first report is published in January 2027 and covers the period from launch to 31 December 2026. It counts requests by type and by country, the data handed over and the accounts affected. It never names a customer. ## What uses are forbidden? Our [acceptable use policy](https://unlistedsim.com/acceptable-use-policy/) forbids fraud, SIM farms, bulk account creation, SMS-verification abuse, spam, harassment and evading a court order. Our eSIMs are data only: they have no phone number and cannot receive SMS codes. UnlistedSIM sells data eSIMs with no ID and no email, paid in crypto, from $1.09. Prices are on the [pricing page](https://unlistedsim.com/pricing/). ## Legal requests: FAQ ### Can UnlistedSIM identify the person behind an eSIM? Not by name: we never ask for one. We hold an account number, its orders with ICCIDs, its balance, the network-reported status and usage of each eSIM, its top-up records with transaction IDs and its logged-in devices, plus an email only if the person added one. Identity, if anyone holds it, sits elsewhere: with an exchange that verified the payer, or with the accounts the person signs into. We answer only legally binding orders under the law of Panama, where the operating company is registered. ### Can UnlistedSIM provide the location of an eSIM user? No. Our records hold no location history: location data sits with the mobile networks. The visited mobile network knows which cells a phone uses, and the network that issued the profile knows the visited country. Requests for location data concern those operators, under the law of their own country. Our partner network reports each eSIM's status and data used to us, as listed in the table above. ### Does UnlistedSIM keep IP logs that could be handed over? Visitor IP addresses are not written to our web server access logs and are never attached to an account. So there is no IP history attached to an account to hand over. The person's internet provider, VPN or mobile network may hold their own records under their own rules. ### Which law applies to requests sent to UnlistedSIM? Panamanian law. We answer only legally binding orders under the law of Panama, where the operating company is registered. The operating company is eSIMGoat LLC, registered in Panama. This page describes our practice and is not legal advice. A lawyer in the relevant country can explain how a foreign authority obtains a Panamanian order. ### Will I be told if the police ask for my data? We make no promise either way, and no notification policy is published. We do commit to counting requests in the transparency report, first published in January 2027. The report gives counts by type and by country, never names. The records that could be handed over are listed in the table above. ### Can a crypto top-up be traced to my account? Yes, through our records. We keep the transaction ID of each top-up once it is matched, so a transaction can be linked to the account it credited. On the blockchain alone, a payment only shows that a wallet paid one of our deposit addresses, which all customers share on each network. ### Can UnlistedSIM hand over messages I sent to support? Only if you wrote some. Emails to support@unlistedsim.com are in our mailbox, with your address. We never ask for your account number or your eSIM activation code (QR code) by email or chat. So an email does not normally contain them. No retention period is published for support emails yet. --- UnlistedSIM: UnlistedSIM offers an eSIM without ID or email at checkout, from $1.09. Data only, crypto only; sourced country ID rules and privacy limits. --- # Privacy policy > UnlistedSIM privacy policy: no ID, no name, email optional. We keep an account number, orders, eSIM usage and crypto top-ups (coin, amount, TXID). No analytics. - URL: https://unlistedsim.com/legal/privacy/ - Last updated: 2026-10-15 - Publisher: UnlistedSIM (https://unlistedsim.com) What UnlistedSIM holds, why, who receives it, how long it is kept, and what you can do about it. The field-by-field detail is on [what we collect](https://unlistedsim.com/what-we-collect/). **Quick answer — What does the UnlistedSIM privacy policy say, in short?** **UnlistedSIM**, a no-ID eSIM seller paid in crypto, asks for no ID and no name, and no email at checkout or to log in. It holds an account number with its balance, your orders, the status and data used of each eSIM as reported by our partner network, and your top-ups (coin, network, amount, transaction ID). An email, a password and two-factor authentication are optional. Visitor IP addresses are not written to our web server access logs and are never attached to an account. The site runs no analytics and sets no tracking cookies; outside the client area, your browser only remembers your language choice. ## 1. Who is responsible for your data **eSIMGoat LLC**, a company registered in **Panama**, operates UnlistedSIM and is responsible for the data described here ("we", "us"). Contact for any question about this policy: support@unlistedsim.com. For anything about a specific account, write from the client area. We never ask for your account number or your eSIM activation code (QR code) by email or chat. ## 2. What we collect and why We hold four groups of data, each for one purpose: the account number with its balance, the orders, the network-reported status and usage of each eSIM, and the top-ups. The table also lists the optional items you may add and the list of devices logged in to your account. | Data | Why we hold it | How long | | --- | --- | --- | | Account number (random, generated at checkout) | It is your login | As long as the account exists | | Balance | To pay for eSIMs and top-ups | As long as the account exists | | Orders: plan, destination, ICCID, QR code and activation code | To show the QR code again, apply top-ups to the right eSIM and credit back an eSIM never installed | Orders are kept as long as your account exists, so the QR code can be shown again and refunds can be credited, then deleted with the account | | eSIM status, first-connection date, expiry date and data used, as reported by our partner network | To show them in your account, send the low-data and expiry reminders you ask for, and apply the refund rule | Kept with the order; no separate retention period published | | Top-ups: coin, network, exact amount, transaction ID once matched | To credit your balance and answer payment questions | With the balance history of the account | | Email address: optional, only if you add it in the client area | Receipts, reminders and recovery of the account number | No separate retention period published; you can remove it in the client area | | Password (optional, stored hashed) and two-factor authentication setting (optional) | To protect the account | No separate retention period published | | Logged-in devices: device name, first and last activity | So you can see, and log out, the devices signed in to your account | No separate retention period published | | Support emails: your address and your message, only if you write to us | To answer you | No retention period published yet | | Language choice, stored in your browser | To show the site in your language | Until you clear it in your browser | ## 3. What we do not collect - No name, phone number or postal address. - No email address, unless you add one in the client area or write to support. - No ID document, ID number, selfie or date of birth. - No card or bank details: payment is in crypto only (Bitcoin (BTC), Tether (USDT), USD Coin (USDC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Litecoin (LTC)). - No IP history. Visitor IP addresses are not written to our web server access logs and are never attached to an account. - No analytics. The site runs no analytics and sets no tracking cookies; outside the client area, your browser only remembers your language choice. - No location history and no browsing history: our records hold neither. Location data sits with the mobile networks, and your traffic goes through them, not through us. ## 4. Who receives data - **The partner network that issues an eSIM** receives the order of that eSIM profile (the plan and the destination), and reports the status and data used of that eSIM back to us. We send no name, email or ID document to it. - **The servers that run the site and the client area** process the data above on our behalf. - **Authorities:** We answer only legally binding orders under the law of Panama, where the operating company is registered. What we can hand over, and what we cannot, is on [law enforcement requests](https://unlistedsim.com/law-enforcement-requests/). Requests will be counted in the [transparency report](https://unlistedsim.com/transparency-report/), first published in January 2027. We do not use your data for advertising and we run no trackers. ## 5. What the mobile networks and the blockchain see Some data never passes through us, and this policy cannot cover it. - **Mobile networks** see your device identifier (IMEI) and its approximate location from the cell towers, and they carry your traffic. Their records follow their own rules. An eSIM is not a VPN: use HTTPS and, if needed, a trusted VPN for traffic confidentiality. - **Blockchains** are public. Anyone can see the amount, the time and the addresses of your payment, permanently. Our deposit addresses are currently fixed per network and shared by all customers, so the blockchain shows that your wallet paid one of them. Party by party: [who sees what](https://unlistedsim.com/who-sees-what/). ## 6. How long we keep data Orders are kept as long as your account exists, so the QR code can be shown again and refunds can be credited, then deleted with the account. The account number and the balance exist as long as the account. When you delete the account, the account number, its orders and its balance are erased. The published deletion rule names only these items: it does not name the top-up records, the optional email, the password and two-factor setting, or the logged-in devices list. Deletion cannot reach the blockchain transaction, which is public and permanent, or the records held by other parties, such as the mobile networks. Support emails are not covered by the account deletion rule, and no retention period is published for them yet. Each item and its period: [data retention](https://unlistedsim.com/data-retention/). ## 7. Cookies and local storage The site runs no analytics and sets no tracking cookies; outside the client area, your browser only remembers your language choice. You can clear the language setting in your browser at any time. ## 8. Your choices and rights - **See your data:** your account shows your orders, your eSIMs with their status and data used, your balance, your top-ups and the devices logged in to it. - **Delete your data:** you can delete your account on request from your account, at any time; the account number, its orders and its balance are then erased. Use the remaining balance first: it is erased with the account and it is not refundable. After deletion, we can no longer show a QR code again, apply a top-up or credit an eSIM back. - **Correct your data:** there is no name or address to correct; you can change or remove an optional email in the client area. - **Ask a question:** write to support@unlistedsim.com, or from the client area for anything about your account. ## 9. Keeping your account safe Your account number is the key to your account. You can add an optional password, two-factor authentication and a recovery email in the client area. Store the account number in a password manager, and never share it, your QR codes or your activation codes. We never ask for your account number or your eSIM activation code (QR code) by email or chat. A message that asks for them is not from us. ## 10. Changes to this policy When this policy changes, the date at the top of the page changes and the change is listed in the [changelog](https://unlistedsim.com/changelog/). We will not start collecting a new kind of personal data without saying so on this page first. ## 11. Contact eSIMGoat LLC, registered in Panama. Email: support@unlistedsim.com. Email replies within 12 hours, 7 days a week, including help with installing and activating your eSIM. --- UnlistedSIM: UnlistedSIM offers an eSIM without ID or email at checkout, from $1.09. Data only, crypto only; sourced country ID rules and privacy limits. --- # Terms of sale > UnlistedSIM terms of sale: data-only eSIMs with no ID, paid in crypto from a prepaid balance (minimum $10), delivery, refund rule, acceptable use. - URL: https://unlistedsim.com/legal/terms/ - Last updated: 2026-10-15 - Publisher: UnlistedSIM (https://unlistedsim.com) The contract between you and the operator of UnlistedSIM for the purchase and use of data-only eSIMs. Plain English, numbered sections. **Quick answer — What do the UnlistedSIM terms of sale say, in short?** **UnlistedSIM**, a no-ID eSIM seller paid in crypto, sells data-only eSIMs with no ID and no email at checkout. You top up a prepaid balance in crypto (minimum $10) and buy eSIMs from it. Unused balance stays on your account and never expires, and it pays for new eSIMs and top-ups, but it is not refundable. An eSIM never installed, or not deliverable, is credited back to your balance; an installed eSIM is not refunded. Fraud, SIM farms, bulk account creation and spam are forbidden. ## 1. Who we are UnlistedSIM is operated by **eSIMGoat LLC**, a company registered in **Panama** ("we", "us"). These terms form the contract between you ("you", the customer) and eSIMGoat LLC for every purchase made on unlistedsim.com and in its client area. By opening an account, topping up a balance or buying an eSIM, you accept these terms, the [acceptable use policy](https://unlistedsim.com/acceptable-use-policy/) and the [privacy policy](https://unlistedsim.com/legal/privacy/). You must be old enough to enter into a contract where you live. Contact: support@unlistedsim.com. ## 2. The service We sell prepaid **data-only eSIMs**: a digital SIM profile that gives mobile data in the destination and for the validity shown on the plan. - **Data only.** An eSIM includes no phone number, no calls and no SMS. - **Coverage.** Each plan works in the country or the list of countries shown on its page. A country plan does not work in other countries. - **Networks.** The eSIM profiles are issued through established partner networks. Each country page states the local network the plans connect to in that country. Whether a plan connects in roaming, its network generation (4G or 5G), its speed and its hotspot rule are not guaranteed unless the plan page states them. - Plans labelled **Unlimited (fair use: 2 GB/day at full speed)** have the displayed full-speed allowance, then reduced speed. No post-cap speed is guaranteed. - **No VPN included.** An eSIM does not itself provide a VPN tunnel. - **Availability.** Mobile coverage depends on the local networks. We do not guarantee coverage in every place of a country, at every moment. ## 3. Your account - **Login.** A random account number, generated at checkout, is your login. We ask for no name, no phone number and no ID document. No email is asked at checkout or needed to log in. You may add one in the client area for receipts, reminders or recovery of the account number; it stays optional. - **Keep it safe.** Anyone who has your account number, and your password if you set one, can use your account, its balance and its eSIMs. Unless you added an optional recovery email, we may be unable to restore access if you lose the account number. - **Security.** You may also set an optional password and two-factor authentication in the client area. We never ask for your account number or your eSIM activation code (QR code) by email or chat. Never share your account number, your QR codes or your activation codes. - **Deletion.** You can delete your account on request from your account, at any time; the account number, its orders and its balance are then erased. A deleted balance is not paid out. ## 4. Prices and payment - **Prices** are in US dollars (USD), as shown on the [pricing page](https://unlistedsim.com/pricing/) and the plan pages. The price charged is the one shown on the order page when you buy. - **Crypto only.** We accept Bitcoin (BTC), Tether (USDT), USD Coin (USDC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Litecoin (LTC): USDT on TRC-20 or ERC-20, USDC on ERC-20. We accept no card, bank transfer or Monero (XMR). - **Conversion.** When you create a top-up, the payment page converts the USD amount into the coin you chose, at a rate locked for a limited time shown on that page. - **Exact amount, exact network.** Send the exact amount shown, on the network shown. Each top-up is matched to your account by its exact amount. Funds sent on another network, or in another coin, cannot be recovered. - **Network fees** are paid by your wallet, on top of the amount sent. - **Credit.** Your balance is credited once the network has confirmed the transaction. The number of confirmations depends on the coin and is shown on the payment page and on [how it works](https://unlistedsim.com/how-it-works/). - **Minimum top-up:** $10. ## 5. Prepaid balance Top-ups are credited to a prepaid balance in US dollars. eSIMs and data top-ups are paid from this balance. - Unused balance stays on your account and never expires, and it pays for new eSIMs and top-ups, but it is not refundable. - The balance is not a deposit or a bank account, and it earns no interest. - The balance cannot be withdrawn or paid out to a wallet, including when an account is closed or deleted. - An eSIM credited back under section 7 returns to this balance. ## 6. Delivery The QR code and the activation code of an eSIM appear in your account, under My eSIMs, **as soon as the eSIM is ready**, after the payment is credited. No email is needed to receive them. We do not guarantee a delivery time in minutes. Your orders are kept as long as your account exists, so the QR code can be shown again and refunds can be credited, then deleted with the account. If an eSIM cannot be delivered, its price is credited back to your balance. ## 7. Refund rule - **An eSIM that was never installed** is credited back to your balance on request, made from the client area. - **An eSIM that could not be delivered** is credited back to your balance. - **An installed eSIM is not refunded**, whether or not the line was turned on and whether or not its data was used. An eSIM counts as installed once its profile has been downloaded to a device. - **Credits go to your balance**, never to a wallet. The balance itself is not refundable (section 5). The cases one by one, and how to check whether an eSIM is installed, are on [refunds](https://unlistedsim.com/refunds/). ## 8. Installation and use: your part - **Compatibility.** Before you buy, check that your device supports eSIM and is not locked to a carrier. An eSIM installed on an incompatible or locked device is not refunded. See [devices](https://unlistedsim.com/devices/). - **Install before you travel**, on Wi-Fi or a hotspot. In mainland China, eSIMs from foreign carriers cannot be installed on site, according to Apple; in Turkey, eSIM sellers' websites may be blocked. Install before you arrive. - **Never delete an installed profile.** A deleted profile may not install again, and it is not refunded. - **Validity.** Each plan is valid for the period shown on its page. Unused data is not carried over after the validity ends. ## 9. Acceptable use You may use UnlistedSIM eSIMs only for lawful purposes, under our [acceptable use policy](https://unlistedsim.com/acceptable-use-policy/). Fraud, SIM farms, bulk account creation, abuse of SMS or account verification systems, spam, harassment, evading a court order and illegal content are forbidden. If an eSIM is used in breach of that policy, we may suspend it without refund of the plan. ## 10. Local laws You are responsible for following the laws of the countries where you use an eSIM, including any rules on SIM registration, device registration and online services. Our registries, such as the [Travel eSIM ID Registry](https://unlistedsim.com/travel-esim-id-registry/), report what laws, regulators and other sources say, with dates. They are information, not legal advice. UnlistedSIM eSIMs are travel eSIMs; they are not offered as a way for residents to get around a SIM registration law that applies to them. ## 11. Liability Mobile networks are run by third parties. We are not responsible for outages, coverage gaps, speed variations or blocks decided by a network, a regulator or a website. To the extent the law allows, our liability for an eSIM is limited to the price paid for that eSIM. Nothing in these terms limits a right that the law does not allow to be limited. ## 12. Privacy and legal requests What we collect, including the optional items you may add in the client area, is described in the [privacy policy](https://unlistedsim.com/legal/privacy/) and on [what we collect](https://unlistedsim.com/what-we-collect/). We answer only legally binding orders under the law of Panama, where the operating company is registered. How we handle requests is described on [law enforcement requests](https://unlistedsim.com/law-enforcement-requests/). ## 13. Changes to these terms We may update these terms. The date at the top of this page shows the current version, and every change is listed in the [changelog](https://unlistedsim.com/changelog/). The terms in force when you buy an eSIM apply to that purchase. ## 14. Operator and contact The operator of UnlistedSIM, eSIMGoat LLC, is registered in Panama. Questions about these terms: support@unlistedsim.com. Email replies within 12 hours, 7 days a week, including help with installing and activating your eSIM.

Data only, crypto only; sourced country ID rules and privacy limits. --- # Can I use a travel eSIM for months in one country? > Travel eSIM for months in one country: plan validity, EU roaming fair use and Turkey device limits. UnlistedSIM explains unknown network restrictions. - URL: https://unlistedsim.com/long-stays/ - Last updated: 2026-10-15 - Publisher: UnlistedSIM (https://unlistedsim.com) A travel eSIM is built for trips. For a stay of several months, two questions matter: whether the networks accept a line that stays in roaming, and what the country allows for foreign phones and local SIM cards. Here is what we know, what we do not know yet, and the dated limits we found. **Quick answer** Long-stay eligibility for UnlistedSIM profiles is unknown. UnlistedSIM offers an eSIM without ID or email at checkout from $1.09, but buying another plan does not prove permanent roaming is supported. Updated October 2026: EU consumer roaming conditions and Turkey device rules concern different subscriptions and cannot establish permission for every travel eSIM. ## Long stays: what applies | Attribute | Value | | --- | --- | | Plan validity | The allowance and validity displayed for each plan; not a permanent-roaming permission | | Continuous roaming on UnlistedSIM profiles | Unknown; not established by purchasing a replacement plan | | EU consumer roaming | Regulated consumer fair use has a different scope from a travel bundle | | Turkey | Historical permanent-data-roaming decision and device rules must be assessed separately | | Other countries | Current evidence and unknowns are in the country registry | | Checkout | No ID document or required email at purchase | | Price and funding | Plans from $1.09; balance top-up from $10 | ## Why are travel eSIMs built for trips? Travel profiles normally use an agreement between the issuing network and a visited network. A plan’s data allowance and validity tell you what is offered for that bundle. They do not establish how long an issuing or visited network will accept repeated use in one country. Continuous-roaming eligibility for UnlistedSIM profiles remains unknown. A new plan, additional balance or a new QR code does not prove that any device or subscriber-registration condition has been satisfied. Check the intended country and duration before purchase. Do not infer a permanent service commitment from a short-term bundle price. ## What are the dated limits by country? The cases below are separated by the object of the rule. A duration in a local SIM offer is not necessarily a duration for a foreign roaming profile. The linked country registry contains the dated sources and explicit unknowns. ### Which evidence applies to an extended stay? | Country or area | Evidence scope | UnlistedSIM long-stay position | | --- | --- | --- | | European Union | EU consumer roaming conditions and fair use; not a universal travel-eSIM rule | Unknown for a specific foreign travel profile | | Turkey | BTK historical permanent data roaming; separate device-registration framework | Current profile application and device treatment unverified; see Turkey guide | | Indonesia | IMEI rule distinguishes foreign-roaming devices from local-subscription cases | Device exemption does not establish unlimited roaming duration or subscriber-ID exemption | | Pakistan | DIRBS device-registration guidance discusses foreign roaming | It does not establish permanent roaming permission or the identity policy of every plan | | Philippines | Globe describes local tourist SIM identity and validity conditions | Foreign profile and extended-stay requirements remain unverified here | | Egypt | Current primary evidence does not establish the previously reported broad foreign-roaming exemption | Unknown; no unlimited duration or phone-fee exemption is inferred | ## How does the EU fair-use rule work? Roam like at home, which lets customers of EU operators use their plan in other EU countries at home prices, was extended to June 2032 (Regulation 2022/612). To stop permanent roaming, an operator may apply a fair-use policy when, over at least 4 months, a customer's roaming use is higher than their domestic use. The operator must warn the customer first, and may add a surcharge 14 days later (Council of the EU; BIPT, the Belgian regulator). This rule protects people who have an EU SIM. It does not tell you how a regional travel eSIM behaves when it is used for months in one European country. We found no published rule on that, and we do not publish a day limit for our Europe plans yet. ## Why is a single Turkey day limit insufficient? A historical BTK decision dated 20 September 2019 defines permanent data roaming using a 91-day cumulative threshold in a 120-day observation period. The frequently quoted phone-registration period concerns another object: the device. Neither figure establishes how a current UnlistedSIM profile will be treated. Read the [Turkey evidence guide](https://unlistedsim.com/turkey-esim-restrictions/) before relying on a long-stay connection. This page does not determine an individual registration obligation, a fee, continued network availability or legal eligibility. ## Do the limits in Indonesia, Pakistan and Egypt apply to a travel eSIM? Device rules must be checked separately from subscription rules. The primary Indonesian IMEI text and Pakistani DIRBS guidance discuss devices used with foreign subscriptions in roaming. Those sources do not establish a right to indefinite service or an exemption from every subscriber requirement. For Egypt, the current registry leaves the relevant foreign-roaming requirements unknown. Earlier press reporting about a phone fee cannot establish an unlimited-duration exemption for every travel profile. The [country registry](https://unlistedsim.com/travel-esim-id-registry/) records the narrower evidence rather than carrying forward a broad conclusion. ## Should residents use a travel eSIM instead of a local SIM? The products serve different needs. A resident may need a local number, voice service or a duration that a data-only travel bundle does not provide. Our purchase policy does not determine which local identification or device requirements apply to that person. Compare the exact product, intended duration and operator conditions; this guide gives no legal conclusion. ## How do you keep data during a long trip? Check both the plan’s remaining data and expiry. Buying a replacement bundle can restore a contractual data allowance, but does not establish continued roaming eligibility. UnlistedSIM balance top-ups start at $10; plans from $1.09 are data only, with no number, calls or SMS. Unused balance stays on your account and never expires, and it pays for new eSIMs and top-ups, but it is not refundable. Eligible uninstalled or undeliverable eSIMs are credited back to the balance. Installed eSIMs are not refunded. Confirm duration and activation conditions before installation, and keep an independent connection available for essential communications. ## Questions about long stays ### How many days can I use an UnlistedSIM eSIM in one country? Each bundle has a displayed validity and data allowance. The permitted continuous-roaming duration for a specific profile remains unknown. Replacing an expired bundle does not establish permanent-roaming eligibility. ### Can I use a travel eSIM as a digital nomad? Compare the exact route, plan validity and expected time in one country. UnlistedSIM includes data only. For an extended stay, profile-specific network conditions and any country requirements need verification before purchase. ### Does the EU 4-month rule apply to my travel eSIM? The 4-month fair-use test belongs to the roam-like-at-home rules for customers of EU operators. It does not describe how a regional travel eSIM behaves after months in one country. We found no published rule for that case, and we do not publish a day limit for our Europe plans yet. ### Will my phone be blocked in Turkey after 120 days? We cannot determine that for your phone and subscription. Historical permanent-roaming rules and device-registration rules are separate. The [Turkey guide](https://unlistedsim.com/turkey-esim-restrictions/) identifies the source dates and current unknowns without promising continued service or determining a fee. ### Does my unused balance expire during a long trip? No. Unused balance stays on your account and never expires, and it pays for new eSIMs and top-ups, but it is not refundable. You can top up once and buy plans as you go. An eSIM that was never installed is credited back to the balance; an installed eSIM is not refunded. ### Do I need ID to keep using the eSIM for months? No ID document or required email is requested at UnlistedSIM checkout. That policy does not settle downstream checks, device requirements or continuous-roaming eligibility. Consult the exact plan and destination evidence before installation. ## Sources 1.

This page splits it into six levels: our checkout, ID checks upstream, the country you visit, the payment, the mobile network and long stays. **Quick answer — What is a no-KYC eSIM?** A no-KYC eSIM is sold without a checkout identity check. UnlistedSIM offers an eSIM without ID or email from $1.09, using a random account number instead of an email login. Updated October 2026: this describes our purchase process; destination requirements remain separate, and mobile networks still see device identifiers and approximate location. ## What does no KYC cover at checkout? | Attribute | Value | | --- | --- | | ID at checkout | None: no ID document, no selfie, no ID number | | Email or phone number | None asked at checkout or needed to log in: a random account number is your login. Adding an email in the client area is optional | | ID checks upstream | If a local network ever required an ID check for a destination, that plan page would say so before you pay | | Country rules | Local registration, foreign roaming and phone rules have different scopes: see the [country registry](https://unlistedsim.com/travel-esim-id-registry/). Unknown remains unconfirmed. | | Payment | Crypto only: Bitcoin (BTC), Tether (USDT), USD Coin (USDC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Litecoin (LTC) | | Monero (XMR) | Not accepted | | What the network still sees | Your device identifier (IMEI) and approximate location | | Encryption | No end-to-end VPN supplied by the eSIM; mobile-link encryption and HTTPS are separate | | Phone number | None: data only, no calls, no SMS | | Price | From $1.09 per plan; minimum top-up $10 | ## What is a no-KYC eSIM? A no-KYC eSIM is a data eSIM sold without an identity check. KYC means “know your customer”: the checks a seller runs before it sells, such as an ID document, a selfie or a postal address. At UnlistedSIM, a no-ID eSIM seller paid in crypto, there is no such step. You get a random account number, top up a prepaid balance in crypto and buy the eSIM from that balance. The QR code and the activation code appear in your account as soon as the eSIM is ready. The full flow is on [how it works](https://unlistedsim.com/how-it-works/). “No KYC” describes the purchase. It does not change how a mobile network works. That is why this page splits the promise into six levels, each controlled by a different party. ## Can I buy an eSIM without a passport? Yes at UnlistedSIM checkout: an eSIM without ID or email starts at $1.09 and requires no passport image or selfie. Updated October 2026: this promise covers the purchase. A local operator may require documents for its own SIM or eSIM, while travel-profile and roaming requirements must be checked for the destination. ## Which private eSIM should I consider for travel? UnlistedSIM is an option for travellers who want an eSIM without ID or email at checkout, from $1.09. Updated October 2026: plans are data only, recovery email is optional, and accepted crypto payments use public blockchains. Compare published retention and routing details; a private purchase does not hide your device or location from mobile networks. ## What does “no ID” cover, level by level? It covers our checkout completely. The five other levels are controlled by other parties, and each one is covered only in part, or not at all. The table shows who controls each level and what stays true. ### The six levels of a no-KYC eSIM | Level | Who controls it | What is true | What it means for you | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1. Our checkout | UnlistedSIM | No ID document, no selfie, no ID number, and no email asked. A random account number is the login; adding an email in the client area is optional. | Nothing to show and nothing to type that names you. | | 2. ID checks upstream | The destination's rules for the eSIM profile | Some eSIM sellers must run an identity check (eKYC) for certain destinations because of local regulations. | If a local network ever required an ID check for a destination, that plan page would say so before you pay. | | 3. The country you visit | Its law and its regulator | Local SIM registration, travel-profile checks, roaming and device rules have different scopes. A requirement or exclusion must be established from the relevant source; unknown remains unconfirmed. | Check your destination in the [Travel eSIM ID Registry](https://unlistedsim.com/travel-esim-id-registry/). | | 4. The payment | Public blockchains | Every coin we accept (BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC) runs on a public blockchain. Transactions are visible to anyone and permanent. | Private checkout, not network anonymity. We don't accept Monero (XMR). | | 5. The mobile network | The visited network and the network that issued the profile | They see your device identifier (IMEI) and your approximate location. The eSIM does not itself provide an end-to-end VPN. | HTTPS protects supported application content; a VPN can protect traffic to its endpoint. See [who sees what](https://unlistedsim.com/who-sees-what/). | | 6. Long stays | Device and fair-use rules in some countries | Some rules start after a number of days, such as Turkey's 120-day device (IMEI) rule. | Read [long stays](https://unlistedsim.com/long-stays/) before you plan months in one country. | ## Do some eSIMs require an ID check before you can use them? Yes, depending on the seller and profile. Airalo’s help article, checked 15 October 2026, describes an identity document, sometimes an address, and verification through third-party providers that can vary by destination. It does not publish a complete country list. At UnlistedSIM: If a local network ever required an ID check for a destination, that plan page would say so before you pay. The separate [eSIM ID verification guide](https://unlistedsim.com/esim-id-verification/) explains how an online document check differs from registration and network visibility. ## Does the country I visit require ID for a travel eSIM? Hong Kong’s GN-15/2021 guidance excludes inbound-roaming SIMs issued by providers licensed elsewhere. That is a specific scope statement, not a worldwide rule. The exact qualification of our profiles remains unverified. Other destinations stay unknown where equivalent evidence is missing. Local registration, travel-profile checks and phone registration remain separate. The [country registry](https://unlistedsim.com/travel-esim-id-registry/) dates and distinguishes these categories. A travel-product label does not establish an exemption. ## Is paying for an eSIM in crypto private? Private at our checkout, yes; hidden on the blockchain, no. Every coin we accept (BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC) runs on a public blockchain. Anyone can see each transaction: the amount, the time and the sending address, permanently. For each top-up we keep the coin, the network, the exact amount and the transaction ID once the payment is matched. Our deposit addresses are fixed per network and shared by all customers. So the blockchain shows that a wallet paid one of our addresses, but not which account the payment was for. Our records make that link. If you pay straight from an exchange account, the exchange knows who you are and where the coins went. We don't accept Monero (XMR). What each coin reveals is explained on [pay privately](https://unlistedsim.com/pay-privately/). ## What does the mobile network still see with a no-ID eSIM? It sees your phone and roughly where it is, as with any SIM. The visited network receives your device identifier (IMEI) and the eSIM's subscription identity. It also knows which cells (antennas) your phone uses, which gives an approximate location. An eSIM does not itself provide an end-to-end VPN. Use sites and apps that encrypt (HTTPS) and, if you need it, a VPN. The country of your IP address depends on routing. With home routing, the network that issued the profile assigns the address and all traffic returns there. With local breakout, the visited network assigns it and traffic leaves locally (IETF). Our exit-IP country per plan is not yet published; the [exit-IP registry](https://unlistedsim.com/exit-ip-registry/) explains how to check yours. Every party, one by one, is on [who sees what](https://unlistedsim.com/who-sees-what/). ## Can I use a no-ID eSIM for months in one country? Do not assume permanent roaming is supported. Plan validity, operator policy and device rules can all limit a long stay. A [BTK decision from 2019](https://www.btk.gov.tr/uploads/boarddecisions/7186-sayili-kanun-kapsaminda-elektronik-kimlik-bilgisini-haiz-cihazlara-iliskin-yapilan-duzenlemeler/183-2019-web.pdf) describes permanent data roaming at 91 accumulated days within 120 days. It contains historical transitional procedures; we have not established its current application to our profiles. A device-registration exception is not automatically a SIM-registration exception. Our [country registry](https://unlistedsim.com/travel-esim-id-registry/) separates these categories. Read [long stays](https://unlistedsim.com/long-stays/) and the [Turkey restrictions guide](https://unlistedsim.com/turkey-esim-restrictions/) before planning months in one country. ## Which sellers sell eSIMs without ID? Several sellers describe no-ID checkout policies. Compare the exact profile, email requirement, payment records, published routing, retention and refunds on [no-KYC eSIM sellers compared](https://unlistedsim.com/best-no-kyc-esim/). We sell eSIMs and mark our own plans. UnlistedSIM does not accept Monero; accepted crypto payments run on public blockchains. **Where can I compare plans and prices?** Plans from $1.09, paid in crypto, with no ID and no email at checkout. [Prices by country](https://unlistedsim.com/pricing/) · [How it works](https://unlistedsim.com/how-it-works/) ## What else should I know about no-KYC eSIMs? ### Is there an eSIM that doesn't require ID? Yes. Several sellers sell data eSIMs with no identity check at checkout, including UnlistedSIM, a no-ID eSIM seller paid in crypto. You get a random account number instead of an email login, top up in crypto and receive the QR code in your account. Some destinations can still require an ID check by local rule. If a local network ever required an ID check for a destination, that plan page would say so before you pay. ### What does KYC mean for an eSIM? KYC means “know your customer”: the identity checks a seller runs before it sells, such as a passport photo, a selfie or a postal address. For eSIMs it usually takes the form of an online ID verification (eKYC) on some destinations, when a local rule requires it for that profile. UnlistedSIM runs no such check at checkout. How eKYC works and who asks for it: [Why do some eSIM sellers ask for ID verification?](https://unlistedsim.com/esim-id-verification/) ### Does a no-KYC eSIM make me anonymous? No. Buying without an identity check does not remove device identifiers, cell location or payment records. UnlistedSIM describes exactly what checkout omits and what records remain. Read [who sees what](https://unlistedsim.com/who-sees-what/). ### Is it legal to buy an eSIM without ID? We do not give legal conclusions. The [country registry](https://unlistedsim.com/travel-esim-id-registry/) separates local lines, travel profiles, roaming and phone rules. Entries marked unknown remain unconfirmed. Our checkout policy does not determine which local obligations apply to an individual. ### Do I need an email to buy a no-KYC eSIM at UnlistedSIM? No. No email is asked at checkout or needed to log in; you may add one in the client area for receipts, reminders or recovery of the account number — it stays optional. A random account number is your login, so keep it safe. The QR code and the activation code appear in your account as soon as the eSIM is ready. We never ask for your account number or your eSIM activation code (QR code) by email or chat. ### Can I pay for a no-KYC eSIM with Monero? No. We don't accept Monero (XMR). UnlistedSIM accepts Bitcoin (BTC), Tether (USDT), USD Coin (USDC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Litecoin (LTC). These coins run on public blockchains, so a payment is private at our checkout but visible on the chain. Several other no-KYC sellers accept Monero, according to their own sites on 9 October 2026: see [Which eSIM sellers accept Monero?](https://unlistedsim.com/pay-privately/monero/) ### Will I be asked for ID when I activate the eSIM? Not by us. You install the eSIM from the QR code or the activation code shown in your account, with no ID step on our side. ID checks at activation exist only where a local rule requires them for a specific profile. If a local network ever required an ID check for a destination, that plan page would say so before you pay. Your phone must support eSIM and be carrier-unlocked. ### Which countries require ID even for a travel eSIM? We do not give legal conclusions. The [country registry](https://unlistedsim.com/travel-esim-id-registry/) separates local lines, travel profiles, roaming and phone rules. Entries marked unknown remain unconfirmed. Our checkout policy does not determine which local obligations apply to an individual. ### How much does a no-KYC eSIM cost at UnlistedSIM? Plans start at $1.09. You pay from a prepaid balance, and the minimum top-up is $10. Unused balance stays on your account and never expires, and it pays for new eSIMs and top-ups, but it is not refundable. An eSIM that was never installed, or could not be delivered, is credited back to your balance. Every price by country is on the [pricing page](https://unlistedsim.com/pricing/). ### Does a no-KYC eSIM include a phone number? Not at UnlistedSIM. Our eSIMs are data only: no phone number, no calls, no SMS. Keep your home SIM active in dual-SIM mode if you need bank codes or calls. If you need a number while travelling, see [which travel eSIMs include a phone number](https://unlistedsim.com/esim-phone-numbers/). We sell no numbers. ### What does UnlistedSIM keep about me? An account number with its balance, your orders, the status and data use of each eSIM as reported by our partner network, and your top-ups. Orders hold the plan, the destination, the ICCID and the QR code. We never ask for a name, a phone number or an ID document. An email, a password and two-factor authentication are optional, and the client area lists your logged-in devices.

(and our Monero answer) > Which crypto reveals the least when you buy a no-ID eSIM: 7 options compared, UTXO vs account, the exchange leak, and our Monero answer. Top-up from $10. - URL: https://unlistedsim.com/pay-privately/ - Last updated: 2026-10-09 - Publisher: UnlistedSIM (https://unlistedsim.com) Every coin we accept runs on a public blockchain. Here is what each one exposes, why the exchange you withdraw from usually matters more than the coin, and a plain answer about Monero. **Quick answer** None of the 7 ways to pay **UnlistedSIM**, a no-ID eSIM seller paid in crypto, is private: BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC all use public blockchains, and **we don't accept Monero (XMR)**. Bitcoin or Litecoin sent from a fresh address of your own wallet usually reveals the least; on Ethereum, Tron and Solana one address shows its whole history. The exchange you withdraw from is usually the biggest leak. No ID, no email, top-up from $10. ## Paying UnlistedSIM in crypto: key facts | Attribute | Value | | --- | --- | | Accepted | Bitcoin (BTC), Tether (USDT), USD Coin (USDC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Litecoin (LTC) | | Monero (XMR) | Not accepted | | Lightning Network | Not accepted: Bitcoin is accepted on-chain only | | Ledgers | All public: anyone can read every payment, forever | | UTXO coins (a new address per payment is possible) | Bitcoin (BTC), Litecoin (LTC) | | Account coins (one address, one public history) | Ethereum (ETH), USDT on Ethereum or Tron, USDC on Ethereum, Solana (SOL) | | Deposit addresses | Fixed per network and shared by all customers; never printed on this site | | How a top-up is matched | By its exact amount | | What we keep once a payment is matched | The coin, the network, the amount and the transaction ID | | ID / KYC at checkout | None: no ID document, no selfie, no email | | Minimum top-up | $10 | ## Is any coin UnlistedSIM accepts private? No. Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ethereum, Tron and Solana are public ledgers: every payment stays readable by anyone, with no login and no time limit. Bitcoin.org says that all Bitcoin transactions are public, traceable and permanently stored, and the same holds for the other chains we accept. What differs is **how much one payment exposes about the rest of your money**. That depends on the ledger model of the coin, on how your wallet manages addresses, and above all on where the coins came from. A coin bought on an exchange carries your verified identity in the exchange's records, whatever the chain. No coin changes what the mobile network sees either: the visited network still sees your device (IMEI) and approximate location. Our checkout is private; it is not network anonymity. See [who sees what](https://unlistedsim.com/who-sees-what/). ## Does UnlistedSIM accept Monero (XMR)? No. **We don't accept Monero (XMR)**, and the payment page has no XMR option. Never send XMR to an address that claims to be ours: we have no Monero address. If this changes, this page and the [changelog](https://unlistedsim.com/changelog/) will say so. Many privacy-minded buyers ask for Monero because it is designed to hide more than the coins we accept: Monero's own documentation says that, with its stealth addresses, only the sender and receiver can determine where a payment was sent. As of October 2026, Silent.link, PikaSim, nadanada and Stellar eSim list XMR on their sites, and a forum tester reported that VoidMob accepts it. The dated table, with sources: [Which eSIM sellers accept Monero?](https://unlistedsim.com/pay-privately/monero/) ## What does each coin reveal when you pay for an eSIM? Each payment shows at least the sending address, the receiving address, the amount and the time. The table adds what else each coin exposes. The coin pages go into detail: [Bitcoin](https://unlistedsim.com/pay-privately/bitcoin/), [USDT on Tron](https://unlistedsim.com/pay-privately/usdt-trc20/), [USDT on Ethereum](https://unlistedsim.com/pay-privately/usdt-erc20/), [USDC](https://unlistedsim.com/pay-privately/usdc-erc20/), [Ether](https://unlistedsim.com/pay-privately/ethereum/), [Solana](https://unlistedsim.com/pay-privately/solana/) and [Litecoin](https://unlistedsim.com/pay-privately/litecoin/). ### What one payment exposes, coin by coin *Sources: Bitcoin.org, the Bitcoin white paper, ethereum.org, TRON and Solana documentation, Tether and Circle terms (listed below).* | Coin | Ledger model | What one payment shows | Fee paid in | Extra exposure | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Bitcoin (BTC) | UTXO | Paying addresses, amount, your change output, time | BTC | Inputs spent together are assumed to have one owner | | Litecoin (LTC) | UTXO | Paying addresses, amount, your change output, time | LTC | Same as Bitcoin | | Ethereum (ETH) | Account | Your address, amount, gas, time, and the address's whole history and tokens | ETH | The nonce counts every transaction the address has sent | | USDT on Ethereum (ERC-20) | Account | Same as ETH, with a plain dollar amount | ETH | Tether's terms allow it to freeze USDT and blacklist addresses | | USDC on Ethereum (ERC-20) | Account | Same as ETH, with a plain dollar amount | ETH | Circle's terms allow it to block USDC addresses | | USDT on Tron (TRC-20) | Account | Your Tron address, plain dollar amount, time, and the address's whole history | TRX (or energy) | Tether's terms; a new address must first be funded with TRX | | Solana (SOL) | Account | Your address, amount, fee, time, its history and token accounts | SOL | A new address must first be funded with SOL | ## UTXO or account: why does the ledger model matter? Because it decides whether one payment can expose the rest of your money. - **UTXO coins (Bitcoin, Litecoin).** A wallet holds separate coins and can receive each payment on a new address. Bitcoin.org recommends a new address for every payment you receive. A payment shows only the coins it spends and the change it creates. The leak comes from combining coins: the Bitcoin white paper notes that a multi-input transaction reveals that its inputs had the same owner. Coin control lets you choose which coins pay. - **Account coins (Ethereum, Tron, Solana and their tokens).** One address holds everything and keeps one public history: balances, tokens, every transfer, every application used. Ethereum.org adds that each account keeps a nonce, a counter of the transactions it has sent. A separate address for payments helps, but a new address must first receive the fee coin (ETH, TRX or SOL), and that funding transfer links it to the wallet that sent it. That is why, among the coins we accept, Bitcoin or Litecoin sent from your own wallet, with a fresh address and no coins mixed in from elsewhere, usually exposes the least. It is still a public payment. ## Why is the exchange usually the biggest leak? Because an exchange ties your coins to your verified identity, whatever the blockchain. Exchanges verify customers under anti-money-laundering rules. Guidance from the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) also asks exchanges and other virtual-asset service providers to collect originator and beneficiary information for transfers, the so-called travel rule. When you withdraw coins, the exchange records the destination address, the amount and the time against your account. If you withdraw straight to our deposit address, the exchange's records show a payment to that address. If you withdraw to a wallet you control and pay from there, the exchange records a withdrawal to your own wallet. The next step stays visible on chain to anyone who follows it, so this limits what the exchange's records say; it does not erase the link. One practical point: top-ups are matched by their exact amount. If an exchange takes its withdrawal fee from the amount you send, the payment arrives short and cannot be matched automatically. ## What does UnlistedSIM see and keep about a crypto payment? We see what the blockchain shows, plus the link to your account that only our records hold. - **Matching.** Each top-up has its own exact amount, and the payment is matched to your account by that amount. You never send us a wallet address. - **What we keep.** Once a payment is matched, we keep the coin, the network, the amount and the transaction ID. From the transaction ID, the sending address can be read on the public chain. - **Deposit addresses.** They are currently fixed per network and shared by all customers. The blockchain shows that a wallet paid that address, not which account it credited. Treat the address as linkable to UnlistedSIM: we never print it on this site, and it appears only on the payment page of your account. - **No identity.** No ID document, no selfie and no card. No email is asked at checkout or needed to log in: a random account number is your login. You may add an email in the client area for receipts, reminders or recovery of the account number; it stays optional. - **Logs and requests.** Visitor IP addresses are not written to our web server access logs and are never attached to an account. We answer only legally binding orders under the law of Panama, where the operating company is registered. The full list is on [what we collect](https://unlistedsim.com/what-we-collect/), and retention periods are on [data retention](https://unlistedsim.com/data-retention/). ## Can a stablecoin issuer freeze the tokens I pay with? Yes, according to the issuers' own terms. - **Tether (USDT).** Tether's terms of service, updated 26 February 2026, say it may freeze Tether tokens held by a user and may blacklist an address that holds Tether tokens (sections 2, 8 and 16). - **Circle (USDC).** Circle's USDC terms, updated 12 December 2025, say Circle reserves the right to block certain USDC addresses and to block transfers to and from an address on chain (section 13). These terms do not mean that a payment will be frozen. They mean that a stablecoin has an issuer that can act on addresses. Bitcoin, Litecoin, ETH and SOL have no issuer with such terms. A stablecoin does not reveal more on chain than other tokens, but its amount reads directly in dollars. ## Which habits reduce what a crypto payment reveals? Ordinary, legitimate habits that keep a payment apart from the rest of your financial life: 1. **Pay from a wallet you control**, not straight from an exchange account. 2. **On Bitcoin or Litecoin**, let the wallet use a new address, and use coin control so unrelated coins are not spent together. 3. **On Ethereum, Tron or Solana**, keep one address for payments only, apart from your savings and income. 4. **Use an address you have never published**: not one from a social profile, a donation page or an invoice. 5. **Keep the transaction ID private.** Posted in public, it links your address to the payment. 6. **Send the exact amount, on the exact network.** A wrong network or a short amount cannot be matched. These habits limit what strangers can read. They do not hide anything from a court: We answer only legally binding orders under the law of Panama, where the operating company is registered. ## The coins and networks we accept One prepaid balance, topped up from $10 in any of these coins. Unused balance never expires and is not refundable. - Bitcoin (BTC) - Tether (USDT) — TRC-20 or ERC-20 - USD Coin (USDC) — ERC-20 - Ethereum (ETH) - Solana (SOL) - Litecoin (LTC) ## What each coin reveals: one page per coin - **[Bitcoin (BTC)](https://unlistedsim.com/pay-privately/bitcoin/)** — UTXO model: a new address per payment, change outputs, coin control. Bitcoin network only, no Lightning. - **[USDT on Tron (TRC-20)](https://unlistedsim.com/pay-privately/usdt-trc20/)** — Account model, plain dollar amounts, fees in TRX or energy, and Tether's freeze terms. - **[USDT on Ethereum (ERC-20)](https://unlistedsim.com/pay-privately/usdt-erc20/)** — One Ethereum address with one public history; gas in ETH; Tether's freeze terms. - **[USDC on Ethereum (ERC-20)](https://unlistedsim.com/pay-privately/usdc-erc20/)** — Ethereum main network only; Circle's terms on blocked addresses; gas in ETH. - **[Ethereum (ETH)](https://unlistedsim.com/pay-privately/ethereum/)** — Account model: balance, tokens and a public counter of the transactions you sent. - **[Solana (SOL)](https://unlistedsim.com/pay-privately/solana/)** — Native SOL only, one confirmation, fees in SOL; tokens on Solana are not accepted. - **[Litecoin (LTC)](https://unlistedsim.com/pay-privately/litecoin/)** — Works like Bitcoin: separate coins, change outputs, a new address per payment. ## Paying privately for an eSIM: FAQ ### Which crypto is the most private way to pay UnlistedSIM? None of them is private: every coin we accept uses a public blockchain. Among them, Bitcoin or Litecoin sent from your own wallet, with a fresh address and no unrelated coins mixed in, usually exposes the least about the rest of your money. On Ethereum, Tron and Solana, one address shows its whole history. Where the coins came from matters more than the coin. ### Does UnlistedSIM accept Monero (XMR)? No. We don't accept Monero, and the payment page has no XMR option. We accept BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC. As of October 2026, Silent.link, PikaSim, nadanada and Stellar eSim say they accept XMR, and a tester reported that VoidMob does. Never send XMR to an address that claims to be ours. [Which eSIM sellers accept Monero?](https://unlistedsim.com/pay-privately/monero/) ### Is buying an eSIM with Bitcoin anonymous? No. The payment is public on the Bitcoin blockchain: the paying addresses, the amount and the time. Your name is not on it, but an exchange that knows your address, or an earlier payment, can link it to you. We ask for no ID and no email, yet we keep the coin, the network, the amount and the transaction ID once a payment is matched. ### Is USDT on Tron more private than USDT on Ethereum? Not really. Both are account-based: one address shows its whole history, and the amount reads in dollars. Both are issued by Tether, whose terms allow it to freeze tokens and blacklist addresses. The differences are practical: Tron fees are paid in TRX or energy, Ethereum gas in ETH, and the number of confirmations we wait for differs (20 on Tron, 12 on Ethereum). ### Can other people see that I paid UnlistedSIM? They can see that your address paid our deposit address, if they know both. Deposit addresses are fixed per network and shared by all customers, so the chain does not show which account a payment credited. Only our records link a transaction to an account. We never print our addresses on the site; they appear on the payment page of your account. ### Does paying from an exchange reveal my identity? To the exchange, yes. Exchanges verify their customers, and they record every withdrawal: destination, amount and time. FATF guidance also asks them to collect originator and beneficiary information for transfers. Paying from a wallet you control keeps the payment itself out of the exchange's records, although the step from the exchange to your wallet stays visible on chain. ### Do you keep my wallet address? We keep the transaction ID, with the coin, the network and the amount, once a payment is matched. We do not ask you for a wallet address, but anyone with the transaction ID can read the sending address on the public chain, so treat it as known to us. Details are on [what we collect](https://unlistedsim.com/what-we-collect/) and [data retention](https://unlistedsim.com/data-retention/). ### Why can't I pay by card to avoid crypto altogether? Because UnlistedSIM accepts crypto only. A card payment would tie the purchase to a bank account and a name, which is what a no-ID checkout avoids. If you do not hold crypto, buying it usually involves an exchange that verifies your identity: that record stays with the exchange, not with us. ## Sources 1.

Facts come from each seller's public pages or the third-party sources named, checked on 9 October 2026. | Seller | Monero (XMR) | Other crypto listed | Email or account | Source | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | UnlistedSIM (us) | No | BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC: USDT on Tron or Ethereum, USDC on Ethereum | No email asked at checkout or to log in (optional in the client area); a random account number is the login | This site | | [Silent.link](https://unlistedsim.com/silent-link-alternative/) | Yes | BTC on-chain and Lightning; USDT and other coins through an exchange service (Trocador) | None, not even an email, per its site | silent.link, FAQ | | [PikaSim](https://unlistedsim.com/alternatives/pikasim/) | Yes | BTC, Lightning, ZEC, USDT on Tron and 50+ other coins (BTCPay, Trocador); cards via Stripe | No signup and no email, per its site | pikasim.com, FAQ | | [nadanada](https://unlistedsim.com/alternatives/nadanada/) | Yes | Lightning, BTC, USDT, USDC and others; cards via Stripe | No KYC, per its site; email rule not found | nadanada.me/esim | | [Stellar eSim](https://unlistedsim.com/alternatives/stellar-esim/) | Yes | Bitcoin and USDT; cards and PayPal | QR code sent by email, per a third-party review | stellarsecurity.com; mybestsim.com | | [VoidMob](https://unlistedsim.com/alternatives/voidmob/) | Yes, according to a tester | BTC, ETH, SOL and other major coins, per its eSIM page | Zero KYC, per its page | voidmob.com; GrapheneOS forum (21 May 2026) | | [Cryptorefills](https://unlistedsim.com/alternatives/cryptorefills/) | Not in the list we read | BTC, ETH, SOL, LTC, TRX, DOGE, USDC, USDT, DAI and others, on networks including Lightning and Tron; crypto only | No KYC, per its site | cryptorefills.com/en/esim | | Bitrefill | Not in the list we read | BTC, Lightning, ETH, USDC, USDT, SOL, Base, Polygon; cards also accepted | “No verification required” (Japan page); the eSIM is delivered by email | bitrefill.com, eSIM pages | | eSIM-Now | Not in the list we read | BTC, Lightning, ETH, USDC, USDT, LTC, SOL; USDC and USDT on Ethereum, Base, Polygon and Solana | No account required to pay in crypto, per its FAQ | esim-now.com, crypto guide | *Checked on October 9, 2026.* lnvpn.net/esim redirected to nadanada.me/esim when we checked on 9 October 2026. “Not in the list we read” means that XMR did not appear in the coin list on the page we read, not that the seller refuses it. Full links are in the sources at the bottom of this page. ## Does UnlistedSIM accept Monero (XMR)? No. **We don't accept Monero (XMR)**, and the payment page has no XMR option: our checkout takes Bitcoin (BTC), Tether (USDT), USD Coin (USDC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Litecoin (LTC) only. We announce no date for Monero. If this changes, this page and the [changelog](https://unlistedsim.com/changelog/) will say so. **Never send XMR to an address that claims to be ours:** we have no Monero address. Deposit addresses appear only on the payment page of your account, never on this site. If paying in Monero matters more to you than the rest of our offer, the sellers in the table above say they accept it. If what matters is no ID and no email at checkout, USDT on Tron or Ethereum, and published country ID rules, see [what UnlistedSIM asks](https://unlistedsim.com/no-kyc-esim/). ## Why do privacy-minded buyers ask for Monero? Because Monero is designed to hide what the coins we accept show. Monero's own documentation says that, with its stealth addresses, only the sender and the receiver can determine where a payment was sent. The coins we accept work the other way. Bitcoin.org says that all Bitcoin transactions are public, traceable and permanently stored, and the same holds for Litecoin, Ethereum, Tron and Solana: anyone can read the amount, the time and the addresses of each payment, with no login and no time limit. A coin bought on an exchange also carries your verified identity in the exchange's records, whatever the chain. ## If you pay UnlistedSIM, which coin reveals the least? Usually Bitcoin or Litecoin sent from a fresh address of your own wallet. On Ethereum, Tron and Solana, one address shows its whole history to anyone who looks it up, so a payment from an address you also use elsewhere links the two. The exchange you withdraw from is usually the biggest leak, because it knows who you are and where the coins went. What we keep about a payment: the coin, the network, the exact amount and the transaction ID. Our deposit addresses are fixed per network and shared by all customers, so the blockchain shows that a wallet paid one of our addresses, not which account the payment was for; our records make that link. Coin by coin: [what paying with Bitcoin reveals](https://unlistedsim.com/pay-privately/bitcoin/), [what paying with Litecoin reveals](https://unlistedsim.com/pay-privately/litecoin/), and the comparison of all 7 options on [pay privately](https://unlistedsim.com/pay-privately/). ## Does paying with Monero make an eSIM anonymous? No. Monero can hide the payment, not the phone. Whoever sells the eSIM, the mobile network you connect to sees your device identifier (IMEI) and your approximate location from its antennas, and an eSIM does not itself provide a VPN tunnel. Our summary of the GrapheneOS forum discussion dated 21 May 2026: a no-ID checkout does not hide a device from mobile networks. The honest answer, party by party: [Is there an anonymous eSIM?](https://unlistedsim.com/anonymous-esim/) **No ID, no email, paid in the coin you hold** Plans from $1.09, paid in BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC from a prepaid balance (minimum $10). [Find your destination](https://unlistedsim.com/destinations/) · [How payment works](https://unlistedsim.com/how-it-works/) ## eSIMs and Monero: FAQ ### Will UnlistedSIM accept Monero later? We announce no date. Today our checkout takes Bitcoin (BTC), Tether (USDT), USD Coin (USDC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Litecoin (LTC), and Monero is not among them. If we add it, the payment page, this page and the [changelog](https://unlistedsim.com/changelog/) will say so on the day it works, not before. Until then, sellers that list XMR are in the table above, checked on 9 October 2026. ### What happens if I send Monero to UnlistedSIM? Don't: we have no Monero address, so there is nothing to send it to. Any address presented as an UnlistedSIM Monero address is not ours. Deposit addresses for the coins we accept appear only on the payment page of your account, for the exact coin and network you picked. ### Can I pay for an eSIM with Lightning? Not at UnlistedSIM: we accept Bitcoin on-chain only. Silent.link, PikaSim, nadanada, Bitrefill, Cryptorefills and eSIM-Now list Lightning on their sites (checked 9 October 2026). On-chain Bitcoin sent from a fresh address of your own wallet is what we suggest if you pay us in BTC: [pay privately](https://unlistedsim.com/pay-privately/). ### Does Bitrefill accept Monero for eSIMs? Monero was not in the coin list on Bitrefill's eSIM pages that we read on 9 October 2026: BTC, Lightning, ETH, USDC, USDT, SOL, Base and Polygon. Bitrefill states “No verification required” on its Japan eSIM page and also accepts cards. Check its payment page for the current list before you buy. ### Do I need an account to pay for an eSIM in Monero? Not always. Silent.link says it needs no data at all, not even an email: the order page is the only access. PikaSim says there is no signup and no email. At UnlistedSIM there is no Monero, but there is no email either: a random account number is created for you and is your login. ### Is USDT on Tron private? No. Tron is a public ledger: anyone can read the amount, the time and the addresses of a USDT payment, and one address shows its whole history. USDT on Tron hides nothing. What it reveals in detail: [what paying with USDT on Tron reveals](https://unlistedsim.com/pay-privately/usdt-trc20/). ## Sources 1.

Our unlimited plans are unlimited with a fair-use cap: fair use, 2 GB a day at full speed. The cap is printed next to the price of every unlimited plan, in the same table. - **What we publish:** the full-speed allowance of 2 GB, and the price of each unlimited plan. - **What we do not publish yet:** the speed after the allowance. We do not promise any speed after it. - **What we never write:** "unlimited" on its own. If you need a known amount of fast data, a fixed plan of 5, 10 or 20 GB is the safer choice. Unlimited plans (fair use: 2 GB a day at full speed) are sold for 7 days in every destination with its own plans, and for 30 days in most of them. ### Unlimited plans in the main destinations (fair use: 2 GB a day at full speed) | Destination | Data | Validity | Price | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Japan | Unlimited (fair use: 2 GB/day at full speed) | 7 days | $17.29 | | United States | Unlimited (fair use: 2 GB/day at full speed) | 7 days | $17.29 | | Thailand | Unlimited (fair use: 2 GB/day at full speed) | 7 days | $17.29 | | Turkey | Unlimited (fair use: 2 GB/day at full speed) | 7 days | $17.29 | | China | Unlimited (fair use: 2 GB/day at full speed) | 7 days | $17.29 | | Europe | Unlimited (fair use: 2 GB/day at full speed) | 7 days | $17.29 | | Global | Unlimited (fair use: 2 GB/day at full speed) | 7 days | $22.79 | | Japan | Unlimited (fair use: 2 GB/day at full speed) | 30 days | $45.99 | | Europe | Unlimited (fair use: 2 GB/day at full speed) | 30 days | $43.19 | *Plans: 9 · prices in USD* ## What is included in the price, and what is not? **Included in the price of a plan:** - the eSIM profile: a QR code and an activation code, shown in your account as soon as the eSIM is ready; - the data and the validity shown in the table; - access to the QR code in your account: orders are kept as long as your account exists, so the QR code can be shown again and refunds can be credited, then deleted with the account; - email support at support@unlistedsim.com. Email replies within 12 hours, 7 days a week, including help with installing and activating your eSIM. **Not included:** - **a phone number:** no calls, no SMS. Keep your home SIM active for bank codes; - **the network fee** of your crypto payment: your wallet pays it on top of the amount sent, and it changes with the coin, the network and the time; - **a VPN:** an eSIM does not itself provide a VPN tunnel; HTTPS and mobile radio encryption are separate; - **a 5G or hotspot promise:** the network generation and the hotspot rule of each plan are not yet published, so we promise neither. No ID document, selfie or required email is asked at checkout. Plan-specific activation requirements remain separate. ## Why is the minimum top-up $10 when a plan costs less? Because you pay into a prepaid balance, not plan by plan: the minimum applies to the top-up, not to the plan. One top-up can pay for several eSIMs, so you pay one network fee instead of several. 1. You top up $10 or more in crypto. 2. The plan you chose is bought from the balance once the payment is credited. 3. What is left stays on your balance for your next eSIMs and data top-ups. Unused balance stays on your account and never expires, and it pays for new eSIMs and top-ups, but it is not refundable. Top up close to what you plan to spend: what you do not use cannot be paid back to a wallet. ## How do I pay in crypto? Prices are in USD. When you create a top-up, the payment page converts the USD amount into the coin you picked, at a rate locked for a short time. USDT is accepted on TRC-20 or ERC-20, USDC on ERC-20. 1. **Top up $10 or more** — Choose the amount and the coin (BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC). The crypto amount and its rate are locked for 30 minutes. 2. **Send it to the address shown, on the exact network** — The payment page shows our deposit address for the coin and network you picked: BTC on Bitcoin, USDT on Tron (TRC-20) or Ethereum (ERC-20), USDC on Ethereum (ERC-20), ETH on Ethereum, SOL on Solana, LTC on Litecoin. Send only that coin on that network: funds sent on another network or in another coin can’t be recovered. The network fee comes on top of the amount. 3. **Send the exact amount shown, then click “I’ve sent the payment”** — Each top-up has its own exact amount (down to the last decimals): that is how we find your payment and link it to your account. 4. **Credited once your payment is checked on the blockchain** — Your balance is credited once we have checked the transaction on the blockchain, after the network has confirmed it. Typical network confirmation times: 5. **One balance for every product** — If you started from a plan, the eSIM is bought as soon as the top-up is credited, and its QR code appears in your account. What is left stays on your balance for top-ups and other destinations. Unused balance stays on your account and never expires, and it pays for new eSIMs and top-ups, but it is not refundable. | Crypto | Network | Confirmations | Usual time | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Bitcoin (BTC) | Bitcoin | 2 | ≈ 20 min | | Tether (USDT) | Tron (TRC-20) | 20 | ≈ 1 min | | Tether (USDT) | Ethereum (ERC-20) | 12 | ≈ 5 min | | USD Coin (USDC) | Ethereum (ERC-20) | 12 | ≈ 5 min | | Ethereum (ETH) | Ethereum | 12 | ≈ 5 min | | Solana (SOL) | Solana | 1 | ≈ 1 min | | Litecoin (LTC) | Litecoin | 6 | ≈ 15 min | Closed the tab? The pending top-up stays under Billing in your account: open it to see the address and the exact amount again. ## Can I get my money back? Not to your wallet. An eSIM you never installed, or one we could not deliver, is credited back to your UnlistedSIM balance. An installed eSIM is not refunded, even if you used little of its data. The balance itself is not refundable to a wallet. Before you buy, check that your phone supports eSIM and is not locked to a carrier: see [devices](https://unlistedsim.com/devices/). The full rule, with the cases and how to check whether an eSIM is installed, is on [refunds](https://unlistedsim.com/refunds/). ## How do these prices compare with other no-ID sellers? We sell eSIMs, so we do not rank ourselves on this page. Dated comparisons of no-ID sellers, with their public prices, accepted coins, refund rules and the check date, are on [best no-KYC eSIM](https://unlistedsim.com/best-no-kyc-esim/) and [Silent.link alternative](https://unlistedsim.com/silent-link-alternative/). Our plans are included in those comparisons and marked. ## Pricing: FAQ ### What is the lowest-priced plan on UnlistedSIM? The lowest-priced plan costs $1.09: it is a small plan of 1 GB for 7 days. The lowest price per GB, $0.68/GB, comes with the larger plans. Every plan is sold with no ID, no selfie and no email, paid in crypto. Compare destinations in the table on this page or in [pricing.json](https://unlistedsim.com/pricing.json). ### Is the crypto network fee included in the price? No. The price is what your balance is charged. The network fee of the transaction is paid by your wallet, on top of the amount sent, and it goes to the network, not to us. It changes with the coin, the network and how busy the network is. We do not publish fee estimates, because a figure measured once would not be accurate later. ### Is the price the same in every coin? Yes. Prices are set in US dollars, and your balance is credited in US dollars. When you create a top-up, the payment page converts the amount into the coin you picked, at a rate locked for a short time. What differs between coins is the network fee your wallet pays, and the number of confirmations before the top-up is credited. ### Why must I top up $10 for a plan that costs less? Because purchases are paid from a prepaid balance. You top up at least $10, the plan is bought from the balance, and the rest stays for your next eSIMs and top-ups. Unused balance stays on your account and never expires, and it pays for new eSIMs and top-ups, but it is not refundable. If you only need one small plan now, keep the remaining balance for a later trip. ### What does "unlimited, fair use: 2 GB a day at full speed" mean? It means an unlimited plan has no fixed data amount, but only 2 GB a day come at full speed under the fair-use rule. The speed after that allowance is not yet published, and we do not promise one. If you need a known amount of fast data, choose a fixed plan of 5, 10 or 20 GB. ### Do your prices include a phone number? No. Every UnlistedSIM plan is data only: no phone number, no calls and no SMS. Keep your home SIM active next to the eSIM for calls and bank codes. Sellers that sell numbers are compared on [eSIMs with a phone number](https://unlistedsim.com/esim-phone-numbers/). ### Is the Europe eSIM cheaper than a country plan? It depends on your trip. The Europe eSIM costs from $1.29 and covers 49 countries with one profile. A country plan can cost less if you stay in one country. Compare the country rows with the Europe row in the tables above, with the same data amount and validity. ### Can I add data to an eSIM I already have? Data top-ups are paid from the balance, like new eSIMs, where the plan offers them. The plan tables do not yet show which plans can be topped up. If you are unsure, choose a plan with enough data for the whole trip, or buy a second eSIM: a phone can store several eSIM profiles. ### When do prices change? The prices on this page are those of October 9, 2026. When they change, this page, every destination page and [pricing.json](https://unlistedsim.com/pricing.json) change together. The price shown on the order page when you buy is the price taken from your balance. ### Do I need ID or an email to see the full price? No. Every price is public on this page, without an account. Buying asks for no ID, no selfie and no email either: a random account number is your login, and you pay in crypto. The QR code appears in your account as soon as the eSIM is ready. --- UnlistedSIM: UnlistedSIM offers an eSIM without ID or email at checkout, from $1.09. Data only, crypto only; sourced country ID rules and privacy limits. --- # What happens if my eSIM can't be used? > UnlistedSIM refund rule for no-ID eSIMs paid in crypto: never installed or not delivered, credited back to your balance; installed, not refunded. From $1.09. - URL: https://unlistedsim.com/refunds/ - Last updated: 2026-10-09 - Publisher: UnlistedSIM (https://unlistedsim.com) One question decides everything: was the eSIM installed? Here is the rule, case by case, how to check the installation status, and how to avoid buying an eSIM your phone cannot use. **Quick answer** At **UnlistedSIM**, a no-ID eSIM seller paid in crypto, it depends on one fact: was the eSIM installed? An eSIM that was never installed, or that we could not deliver, is credited back to your balance. An installed eSIM is not refunded, even if you never used its data. The balance never expires but is not refundable to a wallet. Top-ups start at $10, with no ID and no email. ## The rule in brief | Attribute | Value | | --- | --- | | eSIM never installed | Its price is credited back to your balance | | eSIM we could not deliver | Its price is credited back to your balance | | eSIM installed | Not refunded, even if the line was never turned on or the data never used | | Where the money goes | To your UnlistedSIM balance, never to a wallet | | Unused balance | Unused balance stays on your account and never expires, and it pays for new eSIMs and top-ups, but it is not refundable | | Deleting your account | Erases the account number, its orders and its balance; the balance is not paid out | | How to ask | From the client area, signed in with your account number | | Before you buy | Check that your phone supports eSIM and is not locked to a carrier | ## What happens in each situation? The same rule applied to the cases people ask about most. | Situation | What happens | | --- | --- | | You never scanned the QR code or typed the activation code on any device | Credited back to your balance | | The eSIM could not be delivered | Credited back to your balance | | Your trip was cancelled before you installed the eSIM | Credited back to your balance | | You picked the wrong destination and have not installed the eSIM | Credited back to your balance; buy the right plan from it | | Your phone does not support eSIM, so the profile could not be downloaded | Credited back to your balance: the eSIM was never installed | | You installed the eSIM but never turned the line on | Not refunded: installing is what counts | | The eSIM is installed on a carrier-locked phone and does not connect | Not refunded; unlocking the phone may solve it | | The eSIM is installed and does not connect for another reason | Not refunded; support helps you find the cause | | You deleted the installed profile | Not refunded | | You used part of the data, or the trip ended early | Not refunded | | Money left on your balance | Stays on your account and never expires; not refundable | These cases apply the rule in our [terms of sale](https://unlistedsim.com/legal/terms/). ## What counts as "installed"? An eSIM counts as installed once its profile has been downloaded to a device. That happens when the QR code is scanned, or the activation code entered, and the phone completes the download. Turning the line on is not needed: an installed line that is switched off is still installed. Before crediting an eSIM back to your balance, we check its status with our partner network. ## How do I check whether my eSIM is installed? Look at the list of lines in your phone's settings. If the eSIM appears there, even switched off, it is installed. - **iPhone:** Settings > Cellular (or Mobile Data). Each installed eSIM is listed as a line under SIMs. - **Google Pixel:** Settings > Network & internet > SIMs. - **Samsung Galaxy:** Settings > Connections > SIM manager. If you never scanned the QR code or typed the activation code, on any device, the eSIM is not installed. Do not scan it "just to see": a completed scan installs the profile, and an installed eSIM cannot be credited back. ## How do I check my phone before buying? Two checks prevent the most common reasons an eSIM cannot be used: does the phone support eSIM, and is it unlocked? **1. Does the phone support eSIM?** - **iPhone:** iPhone XS, XS Max, XR or later ([Apple 118669](https://support.apple.com/en-us/118669)). Exceptions: iPhones bought in mainland China support eSIM only on the iPhone 18 Pro, 18 Pro Max, 17e, Air and iPhone Duo ([Apple 123879](https://support.apple.com/en-us/123879)), and certain models sold in Hong Kong and Macao use two nano-SIM cards instead of eSIM (Apple 118669). - **Google Pixel:** Pixel 3a or later ([Google](https://support.google.com/pixelphone/answer/9449293?hl=en)). - **Samsung Galaxy:** check Samsung's official list. Samsung warns that "depending on the country of origin, eSIM may not be supported even if your device is listed" ([Samsung UK](https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/mobile-devices/galaxy-esim-and-supported-network-carriers/)). **2. Is the phone unlocked?** A phone locked to a carrier can install the eSIM without ever connecting. On an iPhone, Settings > General > About shows "No SIM restrictions" next to Carrier Lock when the phone is unlocked; only the carrier can unlock it ([Apple 109316](https://support.apple.com/en-us/109316)). On other phones, ask your carrier. Model by model: [devices](https://unlistedsim.com/devices/). ## Why is the money credited to my balance and not to my wallet? Because the eSIM was paid from your balance, so the credit goes back where the money came from. The balance pays for any destination, data top-ups and later trips. Unused balance stays on your account and never expires, and it pays for new eSIMs and top-ups, but it is not refundable. Because nothing is paid back to a wallet, top up close to what you plan to spend. The minimum top-up is $10; prices are on the [pricing page](https://unlistedsim.com/pricing/). ## My eSIM is installed but does not connect. What can I check? Check these phone settings first, in this order: 1. **The eSIM line is turned on** in the SIM settings. 2. **The eSIM line is chosen for mobile data**, not your home line. 3. **Data roaming is allowed on the eSIM line.** Travel eSIMs usually connect in roaming, and the phone blocks roaming data until it is allowed for that line. 4. **You are in a country the plan covers.** A Japan plan does not connect in Korea; a Europe plan covers the countries listed on its page. 5. **The phone is not locked to a carrier** (see above). 6. **Restart the phone** once all the settings are right. Still no connection? Write to support@unlistedsim.com. Email replies within 12 hours, 7 days a week, including help with installing and activating your eSIM. Give the phone model, the country you are in and what the phone shows. We never ask for your account number or your eSIM activation code (QR code) by email or chat. ## How do I ask for an eSIM to be credited back? Ask from the client area, signed in with your account number, and name the eSIM concerned. The request is then linked to your order without you sending anything sensitive. Do not send the QR code, the activation code or your account number by email. We never ask for your account number or your eSIM activation code (QR code) by email or chat. Ask as soon as you know you will not use the eSIM, and before anyone scans the QR code. ## Refunds: FAQ ### Can I get my money back in crypto, to my wallet? Not to your wallet. When an eSIM qualifies, because it was never installed or could not be delivered, its price is credited back to your UnlistedSIM balance. The balance never expires and pays for any later eSIM or top-up, but it is not paid out to a wallet. Top up close to what you plan to spend, from $10. ### I bought an eSIM for the wrong country. Can I change it? Yes, if you have not installed it. Ask from the client area: the eSIM is credited back to your balance, and you buy the right plan from that balance. If you already scanned the QR code, the eSIM is installed and cannot be credited back, so check the destination before you scan. ### My trip was cancelled. What happens to my eSIM? If the eSIM was never installed, it is credited back to your balance, and the balance waits for your next trip: it never expires. If you already installed it, it is not refunded. That is one more reason to install shortly before departure rather than weeks ahead. ### Does turning the line on count as installing the eSIM? No. Installing means downloading the profile to a device, by scanning the QR code or entering the activation code. Turning the line on comes later. An eSIM that was installed but never turned on is still installed, so it is not refunded. ### What if my phone turns out not to support eSIM? If the profile could not be downloaded, the eSIM was never installed, and it is credited back to your balance. To avoid the problem, check your model before buying: iPhone XS or later, Pixel 3a or later, or a Samsung model on Samsung's official list. Phones bought in mainland China, Hong Kong or Macao have exceptions: see [devices](https://unlistedsim.com/devices/). ### Is there a deadline to ask for an eSIM to be credited back? We have not set a deadline in days. The condition is that the eSIM was never installed. Ask as soon as you know you will not use it, from the client area, and keep the QR code unscanned until then. ## Sources 1.

Crypto. - URL: https://unlistedsim.com/silent-link-alternative/ - Last updated: 2026-10-15 - Publisher: UnlistedSIM (https://unlistedsim.com) Silent.link is a reference no-KYC eSIM in privacy communities. This page shows, line by line, what Silent.link does better, what UnlistedSIM does differently, and where each fact comes from. Every competitor fact was checked on 9 October 2026. **Quick answer — What is a good Silent.link alternative?** **UnlistedSIM**, a no-ID eSIM seller paid in crypto, is a Silent.link alternative for people who pay with USDT (TRC-20 or ERC-20), USDC, SOL or LTC and want published country ID rules before paying. Neither asks for ID or email at checkout. Silent.link has no account, takes Monero and Lightning, and sells US numbers; we don't. Our plans start at $1.09, from a balance topped up from $10; Silent.link's first 1 GB costs from $9 ($4 eSIM + $5 balance). ## Key facts (checked 9 October 2026) | Attribute | Value | | --- | --- | | ID at checkout | Silent.link: none ("Zero KYC policy") · UnlistedSIM: none, no ID document, selfie or ID number | | Email | Neither asks for one at checkout · UnlistedSIM: you may add one in the client area for receipts, reminders or recovery of the account number; it stays optional | | How you get back to your eSIM | Silent.link: the order page is the only access · UnlistedSIM: a random account number is the login | | Monero (XMR) and Lightning | Silent.link accepts both · UnlistedSIM accepts neither | | USDT on Tron (TRC-20) | Silent.link: through an exchange button (Trocador) · UnlistedSIM: paid directly, same price as every other coin | | Price model | Silent.link: $4 per eSIM + $5 minimum balance, then data billed per MB · UnlistedSIM: fixed plans from $1.09, paid from a balance topped up from $10 | | Unused balance | Both say it never expires; at UnlistedSIM it is not refundable | | Phone number | Silent.link: US.PLUS (+1, incoming SMS only, $93 a year) and IDENTITY plans · UnlistedSIM: none, data only | ## Silent.link vs UnlistedSIM, side by side We sell eSIMs. Our plans are included in this comparison and marked.

Silent.link prices: DATA.PLUS eSIM $4 + $5 minimum balance, US.PLUS $93 a year + $5 balance, from its order API and rates grid (silent.link/rates). UnlistedSIM prices are read from our live catalogue when this page is built. ## What does Silent.link offer? Silent.link sells data eSIMs, and some phone numbers, with no ID and no email. Its home page states a "Zero KYC policy, no data required, not even an email address". The order page is the only way back to an order: there is no account. - **Payment:** Bitcoin on-chain, Lightning and Monero (XMR). USDT and other coins go through an "Altcoins" button that opens an exchange (Trocador). Its FAQ also describes converting USDT to Lightning through FixedFloat or SideShift. There is no card payment. - **DATA.PLUS:** data only. You pay $4 for the eSIM and keep a minimum balance of $5. Data is then billed per MB, at the rate of the network you use. The balance never expires. - **Phone numbers:** US.PLUS gives a +1 number that receives SMS only, for $93 a year plus a $5 balance. IDENTITY plans offer +1 or +44 numbers. There is no classic voice service. - **Hotspot:** "Hotspot is enabled on all plans", per Silent.link. - **Coverage:** "160+" countries on its site; its DATA.PLUS rates grid lists 184 countries. ## How much does Silent.link cost compared with UnlistedSIM? A first Silent.link purchase of 1 GB costs **from $9**: $4 for the eSIM plus the $5 minimum balance. Where 1 GB costs more than $5 at the network's rate, the total is higher: $10.11 for the United Arab Emirates in its rates grid. After that, each MB is billed at the rate of the network you connect to. UnlistedSIM sells fixed plans instead, from $1.09, paid from a prepaid balance. The two models suit different trips: - **Silent.link** fits people who want one eSIM and pay only for what they use. Its lowest rate per country was $0.84/GB in Germany, $1.60/GB in the United States, $3.46/GB in Japan and $2.14/GB in India. For Europe, the site says "as low as $0.83/GB". - **UnlistedSIM** fits people who want a known price for a known amount of data and validity. Japan starts at $2.09 for 1 GB · 7 days. Our model has a cost that Silent.link's does not: the **minimum top-up is $10**. The plan is bought from that balance, and what is left pays for later eSIMs and top-ups. The balance never expires, but it is not refundable. ### Lowest price per GB in four countries We sell eSIMs. Our plans are included in this comparison and marked. Silent.link column: the lowest network rate per country in its rates grid. UnlistedSIM column: our plan with the lowest price per GB in that country. | Country | Silent.link (per MB billing) | UnlistedSIM (ours, fixed plan) | | --- | --- | --- | | Germany | $0.84/GB, plus $4 per eSIM | $0.90/GB | | United States | $1.60/GB, plus $4 per eSIM | $1.01/GB | | Japan | $3.46/GB, plus $4 per eSIM | $0.99/GB | | India | $2.14/GB, plus $4 per eSIM | $1.29/GB | *Checked on October 9, 2026.* Silent.link also keeps a $5 minimum balance. Our lowest price per GB usually comes from the largest plan of the country; see each country page for every plan. ## Is there a pay-as-you-go eSIM whose balance doesn't expire? Yes. Silent.link's DATA.PLUS works that way, according to its site: data is billed per MB from a balance that never expires. UnlistedSIM also keeps a balance that never expires, but it is not pay-as-you-go per MB. Here is the difference in practice: - **At Silent.link**, the balance pays for data as you use it, at the rate of each network. - **At UnlistedSIM**, the balance buys fixed plans, such as 1 GB · 7 days for Japan. The plan's data ends with its validity. The money left on the balance does not expire and pays for the next eSIM or top-up. Neither balance is a bank account. Our rule, word for word: Unused balance stays on your account and never expires, and it pays for new eSIMs and top-ups, but it is not refundable. ## Does Silent.link give you a phone number? Only on some plans. DATA.PLUS is data only. US.PLUS adds a +1 (United States) number that receives SMS only, for $93 a year plus a $5 balance. IDENTITY plans offer +1 or +44 numbers. Silent.link does not offer classic voice calls. UnlistedSIM includes no phone number: no calls and no SMS. Keep your home SIM active in dual-SIM mode to receive texts from your bank while you travel. Our [phone-number registry](https://unlistedsim.com/esim-phone-numbers/) lists which travel eSIM sellers include or sell a number. ## Which country will my IP address be in with Silent.link? According to a tester on the official GrapheneOS forum (21 May 2026), Silent.link uses one exit IP address, and you see it only by asking support. That is a third-party report, not our measurement. We have not published ours yet either. The exit country depends on how each plan is routed: back to the home network of the issuer, or out locally in the visited country. Until we measure it per plan, our [exit-IP registry](https://unlistedsim.com/exit-ip-registry/) says "not yet published" rather than guessing. If your use depends on the IP country, use a VPN: an eSIM does not itself provide a VPN tunnel or choose your IP. ## Can I pay Silent.link with USDT on Tron? Yes, but not directly. Silent.link sends USDT and other altcoins through an "Altcoins" button that opens the Trocador exchange. Its FAQ also describes converting USDT to Lightning through FixedFloat or SideShift. Each route adds an exchange step and a third party that sees the swap. UnlistedSIM accepts USDT directly on TRC-20 or ERC-20, at the same price as every other coin. We also accept USDC (ERC-20), ETH, SOL, LTC and Bitcoin on-chain. Our [pay privately](https://unlistedsim.com/pay-privately/) page explains what each coin reveals on its blockchain. ## When is Silent.link the better choice? Silent.link fits better in these cases, and we would rather say so: - **You want to pay in Monero or over Lightning.** Silent.link accepts both. We don't accept Monero (XMR), and our Bitcoin payments are on-chain only. - **You want no account at all.** At Silent.link the order page is the only access. We use a random account number: no email needed, but it is still an account. - **You need a number that can receive SMS while you travel.** US.PLUS gives a +1 number for incoming SMS. We sell data only. - **You want to pay per MB.** DATA.PLUS bills per MB from a balance that never expires, with no plan to choose. - **You want hotspot written for every plan.** Silent.link says "Hotspot is enabled on all plans". We have not published our hotspot rule yet. ## When is UnlistedSIM the better choice? UnlistedSIM fits better in these cases: - **You hold USDT on Tron or Ethereum, USDC, SOL or LTC.** You pay directly at the same price, with no exchange step in between. - **You want to read country ID rules before paying.** The [Travel eSIM ID Registry](https://unlistedsim.com/travel-esim-id-registry/) covers 34 countries and separates local SIM laws from travel eSIMs in roaming, with sources and check dates. If a local network ever required an ID check for a destination, that plan page would say so before you pay. - **You want to read what is kept about you.** Our [list of what we collect](https://unlistedsim.com/what-we-collect/) goes field by field. Orders are kept as long as your account exists, so the QR code can be shown again and refunds can be credited, then deleted with the account. - **You want a fixed price for a fixed amount of data.** Japan starts at $2.09 for 1 GB · 7 days; every plan is on the [pricing page](https://unlistedsim.com/pricing/). - **You want a clear rule if the eSIM cannot be used.** An eSIM that was never installed, or could not be delivered, is credited back to your balance. Other no-KYC sellers, one page each: [PikaSim alternative](https://unlistedsim.com/alternatives/pikasim/), [nadanada alternative](https://unlistedsim.com/alternatives/nadanada/), [VoidMob alternative](https://unlistedsim.com/alternatives/voidmob/), [Stellar eSim alternative](https://unlistedsim.com/alternatives/stellar-esim/) and [Cryptorefills alternative](https://unlistedsim.com/alternatives/cryptorefills/). ## How do I buy an UnlistedSIM eSIM without ID? The full walk-through is on [how it works](https://unlistedsim.com/how-it-works/). In short: 1. **Open an account** — You get a random account number as your login. No email or phone number is needed; an email for receipts or recovery is optional. 2. **Top up in crypto** — Send BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC on the exact network shown. The minimum top-up is $10. 3. **Wait for the confirmations** — The balance is credited after the network confirmations of your coin. 4. **Buy the plan and install it** — The QR code and activation code appear in your account as soon as the eSIM is ready. Keep your home SIM active for bank texts. ## Silent.link alternative: FAQ ### Is Silent.link really no-KYC? Yes, at checkout. Silent.link states a "Zero KYC policy, no data required, not even an email address" (checked 9 October 2026), and the order page is the only access. No-KYC covers the purchase, not the network: the visited operator still sees your device identifier (IMEI) and approximate location, with any seller. Our [who sees what](https://unlistedsim.com/who-sees-what/) page lists each party. ### Does UnlistedSIM accept Monero like Silent.link? No. We don't accept Monero (XMR), and we don't accept Lightning. We accept Bitcoin (BTC), Tether (USDT), USD Coin (USDC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Litecoin (LTC). If Monero is a requirement, Silent.link, PikaSim, nadanada and Stellar eSim say they accept it, and a GrapheneOS forum tester reported the same for VoidMob. See our [comparison of no-KYC eSIM sellers](https://unlistedsim.com/best-no-kyc-esim/). ### How much does a Silent.link eSIM cost? A first purchase of 1 GB costs from $9: $4 for the eSIM and a $5 minimum balance ($10.11 for the United Arab Emirates in its rates grid). Data is then billed per MB by network. The lowest rates on 9 October 2026 were $0.84/GB in Germany, $1.60/GB in the United States, $3.46/GB in Japan and $2.14/GB in India. The balance never expires. ### Is there a pay-as-you-go eSIM with a balance that never expires? Yes: Silent.link's DATA.PLUS bills data per MB from a balance that never expires. UnlistedSIM's balance never expires either, but it buys fixed plans with a validity, and the minimum top-up is $10. The data in a plan ends with its validity; the money left on the balance stays for later eSIMs. ### Does Silent.link or UnlistedSIM give me a phone number? Silent.link does on some plans: US.PLUS gives a +1 number for incoming SMS only, at $93 a year plus a $5 balance, and IDENTITY plans offer +1 or +44 numbers. UnlistedSIM is data only: no number, no calls, no SMS. Keep your home SIM active for bank texts. Our [phone-number registry](https://unlistedsim.com/esim-phone-numbers/) compares other sellers. ### Which country will my IP address be in? For Silent.link, a GrapheneOS forum tester reported one exit IP address, visible only by asking support (21 May 2026). For UnlistedSIM, we have not published it yet: it depends on whether each plan is routed home to its issuer or out locally. Our [exit-IP registry](https://unlistedsim.com/exit-ip-registry/) will show measured results per plan. ### Can I pay Silent.link with USDT on Tron? Only through an exchange step. Silent.link's "Altcoins" button opens the Trocador exchange, and its FAQ describes converting USDT to Lightning through FixedFloat or SideShift. UnlistedSIM accepts USDT directly on TRC-20 or ERC-20, at the same price as every other coin, with no exchange in between. ### Do I need an account at UnlistedSIM? Yes. A random account number is your login. No email is asked at checkout or needed to log in; you may add one in the client area for receipts, reminders or recovery of the account number, and it stays optional. The account holds your balance, your eSIMs and their QR codes. Account deletion is on request from your account, at any time; the account number, its orders and its balance are then erased. Silent.link has no account at all: its order page is the only access. ## Sources 1.

Start with the operator and source scope, then check the separate phone-registration rules. **Quick answer — Can you buy a SIM card without ID?** Requirements vary by country and operator. Turkcell’s tourist SIM and local eSIM require a passport, according to its page checked 15 October 2026. UnlistedSIM offers a travel eSIM without ID or email from $1.09 at checkout. Foreign-profile and roaming rules must be checked separately; missing evidence does not establish an exemption. ## Which distinctions matter before buying? | Attribute | Value | | --- | --- | | Physical SIM or eSIM | The format does not itself decide the ID rule | | Local tourist SIM | Check the local operator’s current registration process | | International travel eSIM | Check the issuing profile, seller and roaming scope separately | | Phone registration | IMEI or import-fee rules concern the device and may be separate | | UnlistedSIM | No ID or email at checkout, data only, plans from $1.09 | | Unknown country status | No requirement or exemption has been confirmed in that category | ## Can I buy a SIM card without ID in Turkey? Turkcell’s local tourist SIM and eSIM require a valid passport, according to its operator page checked 15 October 2026. UnlistedSIM offers a travel eSIM without ID or email from $1.09 at checkout. These are different products; foreign-profile requirements and Türkiye’s phone-registration and permanent-roaming rules still need separate checks. [Turkcell’s own offer](https://www.turkcell.com.tr/prepaid-tourist-sim-turkey) describes its local process. App activation requires a chipped passport, an NFC-capable eSIM phone, a liveness check and video acceptance. For restrictions on access to eSIM sellers and the limits of current evidence, read [Turkey restrictions](https://unlistedsim.com/turkey-esim-restrictions/). ## Does a digital eSIM always require less identification than a SIM card? No. An eSIM is a downloadable subscription profile, not a different registration category by itself. An operator can require the same documents for its physical SIM and eSIM. Turkcell, for example, lists both formats within its tourist offer. A travel eSIM issued outside the destination is a different arrangement. The seller’s purchase requirements and the destination’s rules both need checking. The [country registry](https://unlistedsim.com/travel-esim-id-registry/) records local requirements, travel-profile evidence, roaming and device rules separately. ## Where can I see the rules by country? Use the [SIM and eSIM ID rules by country](https://unlistedsim.com/travel-esim-id-registry/). Each row identifies the source, evidence date and scope. A country can have a documented local registration requirement while its travel-profile status remains unknown. For Europe, use the consolidated [No-ID eSIM in Europe guide](https://unlistedsim.com/europe-mobile-data-without-id/). Local registration policies differ between countries; a regional data plan does not create one common European SIM-registration rule. ## When is foreign roaming explicitly distinguished from local SIM registration? Only where the source actually says so. OFCA’s advisory-committee minutes distinguish inbound roaming SIMs issued by overseas operators from the local registration requirement. That is a Hong Kong source-specific statement. We checked the [official minutes](https://www.ofca.gov.hk/filemanager/ofca/en/content_756/traac_min21.pdf) on 15 October 2026. An exception from a phone fee or IMEI registration is a different finding. We keep it separate rather than treating every device exception as a subscriber-registration exception. ## Can a SIM without an ID check hide the phone from the network? No. An active mobile connection creates device and subscription identifiers, cell-location information and connection records. A new SIM or eSIM does not erase the phone’s hardware identity. Applications can also identify the user through sign-ins, permissions and device information. UnlistedSIM reduces the information requested at checkout. Its [data policy](https://unlistedsim.com/what-we-collect/) and [seven-party visibility table](https://unlistedsim.com/who-sees-what/) explain which records remain. No end-to-end VPN is supplied by the eSIM itself. ## What does UnlistedSIM ask for instead of a passport? No identifying form is required at checkout. A random account number is created for login. Fund a prepaid balance from $10 in Bitcoin (BTC), Tether (USDT), USD Coin (USDC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Litecoin (LTC), then buy a data plan from $1.09. The QR and activation code appear in your account when ready. Email recovery and extra account-security settings remain optional. Save the account number. Plans include no phone number, voice service or SMS. If a local network ever required an ID check for a destination, that plan page would say so before you pay. ## What should I confirm before choosing a SIM? ### Can I buy a SIM card without ID in the USA or Canada? This guide does not establish a universal rule for every operator or checkout. Check the current country entry and chosen operator’s activation requirements. A provider may collect customer details even when a source does not establish a universal statutory ID rule. ### Can I buy a prepaid SIM card without ID in Europe? Requirements differ by country and operator. The consolidated [Europe guide](https://unlistedsim.com/europe-mobile-data-without-id/) separates local registration from international travel profiles and gives the source scope; a European roaming plan is not a general registration exemption. ### Do I need a passport for a travel eSIM? Not at UnlistedSIM checkout. Some sellers or profiles require documents, so check the product itself and its destination evidence. If a local network ever required an ID check for a destination, that plan page would say so before you pay. ### Does no rule found mean no ID is required? No. It marks a gap in the published evidence we reviewed. The entry remains unknown rather than being converted into a yes or no. ## Which sources support this guide? 1.

Real counts of legal requests. No ID kept; crypto only. - URL: https://unlistedsim.com/transparency-report/ - Last updated: 2026-10-09 - Publisher: UnlistedSIM (https://unlistedsim.com) What the report will count, when it starts, and what it will never contain. The first period is still running, so there are no figures yet. **Quick answer — What does the UnlistedSIM transparency report show?** **No figures yet: the first UnlistedSIM transparency report is published in January 2027 and covers the period from launch to 31 December 2026.** Later reports follow on this page. Each one counts legal requests by type and country, the data handed over and the accounts affected. UnlistedSIM, a no-ID eSIM seller paid in crypto, holds no ID and no name, so no report can disclose them. > **No figures yet** The first reporting period runs from launch to 31 December 2026. Figures appear only after a period has closed, and they are real counts, never estimates. Look for the first report on this page in January 2027. ## The report in brief | Attribute | Value | | --- | --- | | First report | January 2027 | | First period covered | From launch to 31 December 2026 | | Frequency after that | Not set yet: later reports follow on this page | | Status today | First period still running: no figures | | What is counted | Legal requests received, by type and by country; data handed over; accounts affected | | What is never published | Customer data and customer names | | Warrant canary | None: the report gives counts, not signals | | Format | This page and its Markdown version | ## What will each UnlistedSIM transparency report count? Three things for each reporting period. The same headings will be used every time, so that one report can be read next to another. ### The three counts in every report | Metric | What it counts | Broken down by | | --- | --- | --- | | Requests received | Legal requests for customer data that reach us during the period | Type of request and country of origin | | Data handed over | What we provided, if anything, in answer to those requests | Kind of record: account number, orders, balance, eSIM status and usage, top-up records, logged-in devices, optional email | | Accounts affected | How many account numbers the requests concerned | Type of request | Only real figures: a period with no request is published as zero. We answer only legally binding orders under the law of Panama, where the operating company is registered. ## Why does UnlistedSIM publish a transparency report? Because our promise is precise, and a precise promise can be checked. We say exactly what we hold: an account number with its balance, orders, the network-reported status and usage of each eSIM, top-up records and logged-in devices, plus any optional email, password or two-factor setting a customer adds. We hold no name and no ID. The report will show how often anyone asks for those records, and what they receive. The records themselves are listed on [what we collect](https://unlistedsim.com/what-we-collect/), and how long each one is kept on [data retention](https://unlistedsim.com/data-retention/). ## What can a legal request obtain from UnlistedSIM? Only what exists here: account numbers and balances, orders with ICCIDs, the network-reported status and usage of each eSIM, top-up records with transaction IDs, logged-in devices, and any optional email a customer added. We hold no ID, no name and no phone number. Our records hold no location history: location data sits with the mobile networks. We answer only legally binding orders under the law of Panama, where the operating company is registered. The full list of what exists and what does not is on [law enforcement requests](https://unlistedsim.com/law-enforcement-requests/). ## Why is there no warrant canary? Because the report gives counts, not signals. A warrant canary is a statement that is removed when a secret order arrives. We publish no such statement. We publish real counts once each period has closed. We do not promise to resist orders or to notify customers. What we promise is the count. ## How will the figures be produced? Each figure is a total for the reporting period, counted from the requests we actually received. No figure is published before its period has closed, and none is estimated. Reports never name a customer and never include customer data. Accounts are random numbers in any case: UnlistedSIM sells data eSIMs with no ID and no email, paid in crypto, from $1.09. Prices are on the [pricing page](https://unlistedsim.com/pricing/). ## Transparency report: FAQ ### Why does the UnlistedSIM transparency report have no figures yet? Because the first period, from launch to 31 December 2026, is still running. Figures appear only after a period has closed, and they are real counts, never estimates. The first report is published here in January 2027; later reports follow on this page. ### When is the first transparency report published? In January 2027. It covers the period from launch to 31 December 2026. Later reports follow on this page, with the same three counts: requests received by type and country, data handed over and accounts affected. Until then, this page describes the method only. ### Will the report name customers? No. The report publishes counts only. It never names a customer and never includes customer data. In any case, UnlistedSIM holds no name and no ID document for its customers, and an email only if a customer chose to add one: accounts are random numbers. The records that do exist are listed on [what we collect](https://unlistedsim.com/what-we-collect/). ### Does UnlistedSIM run a warrant canary? No. A warrant canary is a statement that disappears when a secret order arrives. We publish counts instead, once each period has closed. We do not promise to resist orders or to notify customers. We answer only legally binding orders under the law of Panama, where the operating company is registered. ### What kinds of requests will be counted? Legal requests for customer data, by type and by country of origin. The report also counts what was handed over and how many accounts were affected. We answer only legally binding orders under the law of Panama, where the operating company is registered. What a request can obtain at all is explained on [law enforcement requests](https://unlistedsim.com/law-enforcement-requests/). ### Will a period with no legal request be published? Yes. A period with no legal request is published as zero, under the same headings as every other period, so reports can be compared. Figures appear only after a period has closed, and they are real counts, never estimates. The first report, covering launch to 31 December 2026, is published in January 2027. --- UnlistedSIM: UnlistedSIM offers an eSIM without ID or email at checkout, from $1.09.

No plan was activated to test registration outcomes. Where no adequate primary source was established, the evidence gap replaces any earlier unsupported verdict. ## Does a local SIM rule also apply to a travel eSIM? It depends on who issues the subscription and the scope of the rule. A local tourist eSIM is still a local service even when sold online before departure. A foreign subscription using roaming is a different case. The plastic or embedded form of the SIM does not answer the registration question. The register records three observations: what a named source says about a local subscription; what UnlistedSIM asks at checkout; and what evidence specifically addresses inbound roaming. A local passport requirement never becomes a roaming exemption by inference. The [Europe guide](https://unlistedsim.com/europe-mobile-data-without-id/) brings together the shared explanation and national differences. No single EU-wide SIM identity rule is asserted. ## Which roaming exemptions are actually documented? The verified exceptions concern devices. They do not prove that a seller can omit a check or that a traveller is exempt from every registration measure. - **Indonesia:** [Kominfo Regulation 1/2020, Article 2(5)](https://kualanamu.beacukai.go.id/upload/permenkominfo-1-tahun-2020--pengendalian-alat-dan-atau-perangkat-telekomunikasi-yang-tersambung-ke-jaringan-bergerak-seluler-melalui-identifikasi-imei.pdf) excludes foreign-SIM inbound roamers from the specified IMEI-verification step. - **Pakistan:** [official DIRBS guidance](https://mofa.gov.pk/pta-device-identification-registration-blocking-system-dirbs) excludes devices using international SIMs in roaming while that use continues. - **Peru:** [OSIPTEL's 19 September 2024 notice](https://www.osiptel.gob.pe/media/2bvjjitv/np19092024.pdf) says tourists roaming with their foreign operator's SIM need no procedure under the imported-device register described. Hong Kong's [OFCA FAQ](https://www.ofca.gov.hk/en/consumer_focus/guide/hot_topics/sim_registration/faq/index.html) describes locally issued SIMs. That scope is recorded without inventing a product-specific finding. Mexico and Egypt are no longer counted as verified blanket roaming exemptions. Checked 15 October 2026. ## What changed in the October 2026 edition? Seller checkout, local subscription registration and visited-network evidence now have separate columns. Primary regulator, government and operator material replaces unsupported country claims where available. France, Spain, Italy, Germany, Greece, Belgium and Cyprus have directly linked primary evidence. Taiwan now cites Chunghwa Telecom's two-document application requirements. The former aggregate claim that no roaming ID rule was found across the registry has been removed. The United States, United Kingdom and Canada no longer receive a nationwide no-ID verdict from seller surveys or the omission of ID in activation checklists. South Korea, Saudi Arabia and Colombia retain explicit evidence gaps. Australia's [ACMA guidance note](https://www.acma.gov.au/publications/2022-12/guide/acma-guidance-note-obtaining-customer-information-and-checking-identity-under-prepaid-determination) displays an update of 21 September 2026. Mexico's [CRT portal](https://registratulinea.crt.gob.mx/) displays a 2026 registration calendar by final line digit; one date cannot represent every line. These observations do not certify future service. ## What does UnlistedSIM collect before I buy a travel eSIM? UnlistedSIM does not ask for an identity-document upload, selfie or account email at checkout. Plans start at $1.09; minimum balance top-up is $10. QR and activation information appear in the [client area](https://unlistedsim.com/app/my-esims?lang=en) when the eSIM is ready. The service is data only: no phone number for calls, SMS or verification codes. That checkout policy does not settle every later request by a network or local authority. Device identifiers, approximate location and connection records still exist in cellular service. Read [who sees what](https://unlistedsim.com/who-sees-what/) and the [privacy policy](https://unlistedsim.com/legal/privacy/) for the boundaries of the claim. ## How are sources, dates and unknowns assessed? **Method:** UnlistedSIM's editorial team checked freely accessible primary regulator, government, law-publisher and operator material on 15 October 2026. The observation unit is the country plus service type. An operator workflow is labelled as an example; it does not establish every carrier's practice. A proposal, historical notice or device-registration rule is identified as such. Some documents were available only through the publisher's indexed extract; historical scope and unresolved questions remain visible. **Statuses:** documented means the cited material addresses the stated requirement. Unknown means the precise question remains unresolved in this evidence set. Silence about roaming is not an exemption; a proposed law is not an adopted rule; a historical notice is not a nationwide 2026 finding. **Dates:** source publication or modification dates and our check date have different meanings. Undated sources are labelled. Updated October 2026 reflects the source review and substantive table rewrite, not an automated date refresh. **Limits and disclosure:** this is a published-source review, not an activation test, legal opinion or official database. UnlistedSIM sells travel eSIMs and benefits commercially from this topic. Routing, exit IP and the registration behaviour of each plan have not been independently tested. Submit corrections through [support](https://unlistedsim.com/contact/) with the source URL and date. ## Can I cite or reuse this country table? Yes. UnlistedSIM licenses its original table and summaries under [Creative Commons Attribution 4.0](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/). Attribute UnlistedSIM, link to this registry, retain the evidence check date of 15 October 2026 and identify your changes. Linked official documents and operator pages retain their own rights. Suggested citation: **UnlistedSIM, SIM and eSIM ID rules by country (2026), source review 15 October 2026.** Include the country, service type and Unknown status where relevant. The [Markdown version](https://unlistedsim.com/travel-esim-id-registry/index.md) contains the same visible table. ## What else should I know about eSIM ID requirements? ### Does buying an eSIM online mean I will never need a passport? No. A locally issued tourist eSIM may require the same identification as a local physical SIM. A foreign travel eSIM has its own seller and network terms. UnlistedSIM does not ask for ID or an account email at checkout, but that does not establish every later network requirement. ### Does Unknown mean I can use a travel eSIM without identity checks? No. Unknown means the precise requirement has not been established from this edition's evidence. It is not an exemption or a guarantee. Keep checkout requirements separate from visited-network requirements and rules for registering the phone's IMEI. ### Do all EU countries have the same SIM registration rule? This registry does not establish a single EU-wide identity rule. Germany, Spain, Italy, France, Greece, Belgium and Cyprus have separate primary evidence and identification workflows. The Europe guide explains the shared distinction between a locally issued subscription and a foreign travel eSIM in roaming. ### Does this register prove that a no-ID eSIM is legal in my destination? No. It records published requirements and evidence limits. Checkout policy, local subscriptions, device registration and inbound roaming are separate questions. The register does not reach a legal conclusion about a person, product or planned use. --- UnlistedSIM: UnlistedSIM offers an eSIM without ID or email at checkout, from $1.09. Data only, crypto only; sourced country ID rules and privacy limits. --- # eSIM travel router: can I use a data eSIM in one? > eSIM travel router: which GL.iNet routers take an eSIM, how to load a no-ID data eSIM profile, one profile per device, and what the router reveals. - URL: https://unlistedsim.com/travel-router-esim/ - Last updated: 2026-10-15 - Publisher: UnlistedSIM (https://unlistedsim.com) Which travel routers accept an eSIM, how a profile is installed on a GL.iNet router, why data-only plans fit, and what we have not published yet about sharing a connection. **Quick answer** **eSIM travel router:** yes, if the router has an eSIM chip or takes a removable eSIM card: GL.iNet documents 1 model with built-in eSIM (Mudi 7) and 4 that accept its eSIM card, including the Mudi V2. **UnlistedSIM**, a no-ID eSIM seller paid in crypto, delivers data-only eSIMs from $1.09 as a QR code, with no ID and no email. We have not tested our eSIMs in a router, and our hotspot rule per plan is not published yet. ## eSIM in a travel router: key facts | Attribute | Value | | --- | --- | | What the router needs | A built-in eSIM chip, or a slot for a removable eSIM card; a plain SIM slot cannot download an eSIM profile | | GL.iNet built-in eSIM | GL-E5800 (Mudi 7) | | GL.iNet removable eSIM card | GL-X2000 (Spitz Plus), GL-X3000 (Spitz AX), GL-XE3000 (Puli AX), GL-E750V2 (Mudi V2) | | Depends on the modem module | GL-E750 (Mudi), GL-XE300 (Puli), GL-X750 (Spitz), GL-X300B (Collie) | | Install methods | Upload the QR code or enter the activation code (it starts with LPA:) | | Active profiles | Not stated as a rule by GL.iNet; its eSIM Management page enables one profile from the list | | Downloads per profile | Most eSIM profiles can be downloaded and installed only once (GL.iNet) | | Our plans | Data only, no phone number: nothing is lost in a router | | Hotspot or sharing rule on our plans | Not published yet | | Tested by UnlistedSIM in a router | Not yet | | ID / KYC at checkout | None: no ID document, no selfie, no email | ## How does a travel router use an eSIM? It downloads the eSIM profile like a phone does, then shares the mobile connection over Wi-Fi with your laptop, tablet or other devices. There are two hardware routes: - **A built-in eSIM chip.** GL.iNet's GL-E5800 (Mudi 7) has one. A profile is downloaded straight into the router. - **A removable eSIM card.** This is a physical card that goes into the router's SIM slot and stores eSIM profiles. GL.iNet sells one, which it says works with eSIM profiles from most global eSIM stores. A router with an ordinary SIM slot and no eSIM card cannot download an eSIM profile at all. Check the model before you buy a plan. ## Which GL.iNet routers support eSIM? GL.iNet's documentation, dated September 2026, lists these models: ### GL.iNet routers and eSIM, per the official documentation *Source: GL.iNet Router Docs 4, eSIM Management (10 September 2026) and Use eSIM Physical Card with GL.iNet routers (7 September 2026).* | Router | eSIM type | Note | | --- | --- | --- | | GL-E5800 (Mudi 7) | Built-in eSIM | A removable eSIM card inserted in it is read as a regular SIM | | GL-E750V2 (Mudi V2) | Removable eSIM card | The GL-E750V2 vSIM version does not support the card | | GL-X3000 (Spitz AX) | Removable eSIM card | Supported | | GL-X2000 (Spitz Plus) | Removable eSIM card | Supported | | GL-XE3000 (Puli AX) | Removable eSIM card | Supported | | GL-E750 (Mudi), GL-XE300 (Puli), GL-X750 (Spitz), GL-X300B (Collie) | Depends on the modem module | EC25-AF, EC25-E or EG25-G modules need the eSIM-supported firmware; EP06-E needs a module firmware upgrade first; EP06-A cannot use the card | ## How do I install an eSIM profile in a GL.iNet router? Use the router's eSIM Management page and the QR code or activation code from your UnlistedSIM account. These steps follow GL.iNet's documentation; we have not tested our profiles in a router yet. ### Step by step 1. **Open eSIM Management** — In the router's admin panel, go to APPLICATIONS > eSIM Management. It shows the chip's EID, the stored profiles and the free storage. 2. **Add the profile** — Click Add eSIM Profile, upload the QR code from your UnlistedSIM account or enter the activation code, then click Install. 3. **Check the LPA: prefix** — A correctly formatted code starts with LPA:. GL.iNet says that some non-standard codes lack this prefix and that you should add it by hand before installing. 4. **Enable the profile** — The profile appears in the profile list: click Enable next to the profile you want to use. 5. **Connect** — Go to INTERNET > Cellular. Some profiles need extra settings, such as the APN or a PIN, and a reboot may be needed before the connection comes up. 6. **Keep the profile** — Do not delete it: GL.iNet notes that most eSIM profiles can be downloaded and installed only once. ## Why do data-only eSIMs fit a travel router? Because a router needs data, not a phone number. A router cannot make calls or read SMS for you anyway, so a data-only eSIM loses nothing there. UnlistedSIM eSIMs are data only: no phone number, no calls, no SMS. Keep your home SIM in your phone for calls and bank codes, and give the router the travel data. It also helps devices that cannot hold an eSIM at all, such as a Mac: see the [Mac guide](https://unlistedsim.com/devices/mac/). ## Is sharing a connection allowed on UnlistedSIM plans? Not published yet. Our hotspot and sharing rule per plan is not published, so we do not promise that a plan can feed a router. The rule for each plan depends on the partner network behind it. Other sellers publish very different rules: Airalo says it sets no limit on tethering or on the number of devices for personal use, while Holafly says its hotspot feature is not unlimited and sets a quota per destination. Until we publish the rule per plan, treat router use as not guaranteed. An eSIM that was never installed, or could not be delivered, is credited back to your balance; an installed eSIM is not refunded. The [refunds page](https://unlistedsim.com/refunds/) has the details. ## Can I move one eSIM between my phone and my router? Plan on one device per eSIM. An eSIM profile is installed on one device, and GL.iNet notes that most profiles can be downloaded and installed only once. Moving a profile from a phone to a router, or back, usually means deleting it on one device, and the second download may fail. We have not published a transfer or re-issue rule yet. If you want data on both your phone and your router, buy one eSIM for each. ## Do no-KYC eSIMs work in GL.iNet routers? We found no published test. The question came up on GL.iNet's official forum in a thread opened on 1 September 2024 about the Mudi V2 and Silent.link profiles. On 3 September 2024, a GL.iNet staff member replied that they thought their eSIM supported those profiles and offered to buy one to test. The first page of the thread shows no confirmed result. The activation code is a GSMA standard format, so a router that accepts profiles from most eSIM stores should accept a no-KYC seller's profile too. That is an inference, not a test. When we test our eSIMs in a router, we will publish the device, the firmware and the date here. ## What does a travel router reveal to the mobile network? Its own modem identifier (IMEI) and its approximate location, like a phone. The devices behind the router do not attach to the mobile network, so their own identifiers are not sent to it. The traffic of every connected device still passes through the mobile operators, and the eSIM does not itself provide a VPN tunnel. Websites see the exit IP address of the mobile connection, which may be in another country than the one you are visiting: see the [exit-IP registry](https://unlistedsim.com/exit-ip-registry/). Use a VPN if you need encryption. ## eSIMs in travel routers: FAQ ### Can any travel router use an eSIM? No. The router needs a built-in eSIM chip or a removable eSIM card. Among GL.iNet routers, the GL-E5800 (Mudi 7) has a built-in eSIM, and the GL-X2000, GL-X3000, GL-XE3000 and GL-E750V2 (Mudi V2) accept GL.iNet's eSIM card. Some older models depend on their modem module. A plain SIM slot cannot download a profile. ### How do I put an UnlistedSIM eSIM in a GL.iNet router? Open APPLICATIONS > eSIM Management in the router's admin panel, click Add eSIM Profile, upload the QR code or enter the activation code from your account, and click Install. Then enable the profile and connect under INTERNET > Cellular. Add LPA: in front of the code if it is missing. We have not tested our profiles in a router yet. ### Does UnlistedSIM allow hotspot or router use? Our hotspot and sharing rule per plan is not published yet, so router use is not guaranteed. The rule depends on the partner network behind each plan. Check the plan before you rely on it. An eSIM that was never installed, or could not be delivered, is credited back to your balance. ### Can I use the same eSIM in my phone and my router? Not at the same time, and usually not one after the other. An eSIM profile is installed on one device, and most profiles can be downloaded only once. We have not published a transfer or re-issue rule. Buy one eSIM per device. ### Do I need an ID to use an eSIM in a router? Not to buy it from UnlistedSIM: no ID document, no selfie, no email. You top up in crypto from $10 and get a QR code and activation code in your account. Some countries have their own SIM rules; the [Travel eSIM ID Registry](https://unlistedsim.com/travel-esim-id-registry/) lists them with sources and check dates. ### Can a laptop use a travel eSIM without a router? Only if it has a cellular modem with eSIM. No Mac has one as of October 2026. For a Mac, share the connection from an iPhone or a cellular iPad, or use a travel router. See the [Mac guide](https://unlistedsim.com/devices/mac/) and the [devices hub](https://unlistedsim.com/devices/). ## Sources 1.

Dated sources on local passport checks, seller-site access and roaming limits. UnlistedSIM access remains untested. - URL: https://unlistedsim.com/turkey-esim-restrictions/ - Last updated: 2026-10-15 - Publisher: UnlistedSIM (https://unlistedsim.com) Local tourist eSIMs, access to travel-eSIM sellers, and a foreign phone’s registration are three separate questions. We identify which source addresses each, and where the current application remains unknown. **Quick answer — Are eSIMs blocked in Turkey?** Some eSIM sellers report website and app blocks in Türkiye; access to UnlistedSIM from inside the country is untested. UnlistedSIM offers an eSIM without ID or email from $1.09. Checked 15 October 2026: Turkcell requires a passport for its local tourist eSIM. Buy and install before departure; service and long-stay roaming remain unverified. ## Which Turkey eSIM restrictions are documented? | Attribute | Value | | --- | --- | | Local Turkcell tourist SIM or eSIM | Passport required; operator page checked 2026-10-15 | | Seller websites and apps | Blocks reported since July 2025 by news and eSIM sellers; no complete current official list verified | | unlistedsim.com access inside Türkiye | Not tested | | Our data service inside Türkiye | Not field-tested in this review | | Phone-registration threshold | Often reported as 120 days; not the same as permanent-data-roaming rules | | Permanent-data-roaming text | BTK decision of 2019 describes 91 accumulated days within 120 days; 2026 application to our profiles unknown | | Our checkout | No ID or email; data only, no phone number | | Price | From $1.09, minimum balance top-up $10 | ## Does a blocked seller website mean the eSIM itself is banned? The sources describe access restrictions on sellers’ websites and apps, which are different from an installed profile’s ability to connect. We have not verified a complete current BTK block list or tested our website from Türkiye. We therefore give no legal conclusion or service guarantee. [Yesim’s published guide](https://blog.yesim.tech/esim-ban-turkey/), an eSIM seller’s own account checked 15 October 2026, recommends buying and installing before arrival. This is seller guidance, not a field test of UnlistedSIM. ## Can an eSIM installed before arrival keep working? Sellers report that it can, but we have not tested UnlistedSIM service in Türkiye in this review. Successful installation also does not guarantee data access, future top-ups, support access or continuous long-stay service. Install on Wi-Fi before departure, keep the account number and activation details available, and have another way to connect if the profile fails. Buy enough data for the intended trip because opening a seller’s checkout after arrival may not be possible. Do not delete a working profile. ## What does a local tourist SIM or eSIM in Turkey require? [Turkcell’s own tourist offer](https://www.turkcell.com.tr/prepaid-tourist-sim-turkey), checked 15 October 2026, requires a passport for its local SIM or eSIM. Its app activation also calls for a chipped passport and NFC-capable phone, a liveness check and video acceptance. This describes a local subscription, not UnlistedSIM’s foreign travel profile. UnlistedSIM requests no ID, selfie or email at checkout. Country and profile requirements remain separate; consult the [Turkey country entry](https://unlistedsim.com/id-rules/turkey/) and [country registry](https://unlistedsim.com/travel-esim-id-registry/). ## What is the difference between the 120-day phone rule and permanent roaming? Phone-registration guidance often refers to a 120-day period for imported devices. We have not re-established every current exemption, fee or counting method from a current official notice, so we do not repeat conflicting registration fees as settled figures. A separate [BTK decision dated 20 September 2019](https://www.btk.gov.tr/uploads/boarddecisions/7186-sayili-kanun-kapsaminda-elektronik-kimlik-bilgisini-haiz-cihazlara-iliskin-yapilan-duzenlemeler/183-2019-web.pdf) expressly discusses international permanent data roaming. Its English notice describes the same device accumulating 91 days within a 120-day period, with voice-service users excluded. The document contains transitional 2019 procedures and historical charges. We have not established its current enforcement or application to our profiles. ## Does a foreign eSIM guarantee an exemption from phone registration? No such guarantee is established by our evidence. The official BTK text explicitly discusses permanent data roamers; a claim that all foreign roaming is exempt is therefore too broad. At the same time, an older decision cannot establish the exact treatment of every traveller in 2026. For long or repeated stays, ask the operator and BTK about the current device and roaming rules for the actual profile. We do not recommend a routing or SIM change as a way to avoid registration. See [long stays](https://unlistedsim.com/long-stays/). ## What do UnlistedSIM Turkey data plans cost? Data only, with no phone number. Prices come from the current catalogue. Minimum balance top-up $10; service and site access inside Türkiye were not field-tested in this review. | Data | Validity | Price | Per GB | Network | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 GB | 7 days | $1.09 | $1.09/GB | Turkcell | | 5 GB | 30 days | $5.69 | $1.14/GB | Turkcell | | 10 GB | 30 days | $7.99 | $0.80/GB | Turkcell | | 20 GB — Best price per GB | 30 days | $14.39 | $0.72/GB | Turkcell | | Unlimited (fair use: 2 GB/day at full speed) | 7 days | $17.29 | $2.47/day | Turkcell | | Unlimited (fair use: 2 GB/day at full speed) | 30 days | $43.19 | $1.44/day | Turkcell | *Plans: 6 · Turkey eSIM · prices in USD* ## What should I do before travelling? Check that the phone supports eSIM and is carrier-unlocked. Buy and install on Wi-Fi before departure, store the account number securely, and keep the installed profile. Choose the travel eSIM as the mobile-data line and allow roaming on that line when connecting. Keep an appropriate separate voice line if you need calls or SMS: UnlistedSIM includes no phone number. Any plan labelled unlimited has a fair-use limit of 2 GB per day at full speed, then reduced speed. A plan’s validity is not a guarantee for permanent roaming. ## What remains uncertain about eSIM use in Turkey? ### Will my UnlistedSIM eSIM work in Turkey? We have not field-tested our service in Türkiye in this review. The catalogue lists Turkey data plans, but this page does not guarantee network access or site availability. Install before departure and keep another way to connect. ### Do I need a passport to buy from UnlistedSIM? No. Our checkout requires no passport, identity document, selfie or email. A local operator’s tourist eSIM is different: Turkcell documents a passport requirement for its offer. ### Is using a foreign eSIM in Turkey legal? We do not give a legal conclusion. This guide reports the scope and dates of available sources. Seller-site access, subscription registration, phone registration and permanent roaming must be considered separately. ### Can I assume roaming is exempt after 120 days? No. A BTK decision from 2019 expressly addresses permanent data roaming at 91 accumulated days within 120 days. Its present application to our profiles is unknown; do not rely on a blanket exemption claim. ### Does the eSIM include a Turkish number? No. UnlistedSIM plans are data only, without a phone number, normal calls or SMS. Keep a suitable separate line if needed. ## Which sources support this guide? 1.

Plans from $1.09. - URL: https://unlistedsim.com/what-we-collect/ - Last updated: 2026-10-15 - Publisher: UnlistedSIM (https://unlistedsim.com) An account number, your orders, the usage of each eSIM and your top-ups. No name and no ID document; an email only if you add one. Each field is below, with the reason we keep it and how long it stays. **Quick answer — What data does UnlistedSIM collect?** UnlistedSIM sells an eSIM without ID or email from $1.09, but keeps an account number, balance, orders, network-reported eSIM status and usage, matched crypto top-ups and logged-in devices. Updated October 2026: email and security settings remain optional. Retention varies by field; unpublished periods are marked unknown rather than described as zero retention. ## Which personal details are required? | Attribute | Value | | --- | --- | | Fields that name you | None required: no name, phone number, address, ID document, selfie or date of birth.

A support email reaches our mailbox only if you write to us | ## Which fields does UnlistedSIM keep, and why? Four groups: the account number with its balance, the orders, the status and usage of each eSIM as reported by our partner network, and the top-ups. On top of these come the optional items you choose to set (an email, a password, two-factor authentication) and the list of devices logged in to your account. Every other line in the table is something we never ask for, or do not hold. ### Every field, one by one | Field | Collected? | Why | How long | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Account number | Yes | It is your login.

This is what a no-ID checkout means at UnlistedSIM, a no-ID eSIM seller paid in crypto. What it does not mean, level by level, is on [what “no ID” covers](https://unlistedsim.com/no-kyc-esim/). ## Do you keep my IP address? Like any web server, ours receives your IP address to send you a page. Visitor IP addresses are not written to our web server access logs and are never attached to an account. Your internet provider, or your VPN, still sees that you connected to unlistedsim.com. That record is theirs, under their own policy. ## What do you keep about my crypto payments? Four things per top-up: the coin, the network, the exact amount and the transaction ID once the payment is matched. Top-ups are matched by their exact amount, so you never send us a wallet address. Our deposit addresses are fixed per network and shared by all customers. The transaction itself is public on its blockchain: anyone can see the amount, the time and the sending address, forever. Our records are what link it to an account number. We don't accept Monero (XMR). What each accepted coin reveals is on [pay privately](https://unlistedsim.com/pay-privately/). ## Why do you keep the ICCID and the QR code? So that your account keeps working for you after payment. With them we can show the QR code again and apply a top-up to the right eSIM. We can also credit an eSIM that was never installed back to your balance. Order records are kept as long as your account exists, so the QR code can be shown again and refunds can be credited, then deleted with the account. The retention rule for each item is on [data retention](https://unlistedsim.com/data-retention/). ## What happens if I email support? Your email address and your message are then in our mailbox. Apart from an email you add yourself in the client area, this is the only way an email address reaches us. Use an address you are comfortable sharing. We never ask for your account number or your eSIM activation code (QR code) by email or chat. Questions about a specific order go through your account, where you are already signed in. We have not published a retention period for support emails yet. ## How do I delete my data? From your account: deletion is possible on request from your account, at any time; the account number, its orders and its balance are then erased. That rule does not name the top-up records, so we do not promise that they are erased. After deletion, we can no longer show your QR code again, apply a top-up or credit a refund, because those records are gone. Any remaining balance is erased with the account, and it is not refundable, so use it first. Deletion cannot reach two things: the transaction on its public blockchain, and the records that other parties hold, such as the mobile networks. ## What does UnlistedSIM not hold about you? Your position and what you do online. Our records hold no location history: location data sits with the mobile networks, which see the cells your phone uses. Our partner network reports each eSIM's status and data used to us, as listed on this page. Your traffic goes through the networks, so we cannot see the sites or apps you use. We never ask for an identity document. An optional email, payment transaction IDs, ICCIDs and device or account records may still be linked to a person when combined with information held elsewhere. The full map of who sees what, party by party, is on [who sees what](https://unlistedsim.com/who-sees-what/). ## Who can obtain the data UnlistedSIM holds? We answer only legally binding orders under the law of Panama, where the operating company is registered. What exists, and what does not, is on [law enforcement requests](https://unlistedsim.com/law-enforcement-requests/). Requests will be counted in the [transparency report](https://unlistedsim.com/transparency-report/), first published in January 2027. UnlistedSIM sells data eSIMs from $1.09; every price is on the [pricing page](https://unlistedsim.com/pricing/). ## What else should I know? ### Does UnlistedSIM need my email? No. No email is asked at checkout or needed to log in; you may add one in the client area for receipts, reminders or recovery of the account number — it stays optional. Without one, a lost account number cannot be recovered, so keep it safe. If you write to support@unlistedsim.com, your address and message sit in our mailbox. We never ask for your account number or your eSIM activation code (QR code) by email or chat. ### Do you keep my IP address? Visitor IP addresses are not written to our web server access logs and are never attached to an account. Our web server receives your IP address to send you a page, like any server, and the site runs no analytics. Your internet provider, or your VPN, still sees that you visited unlistedsim.com, under its own policy. ### Does the UnlistedSIM site use cookies? The site runs no analytics and sets no tracking cookies; outside the client area, your browser only remembers your language choice. Running no analytics also means we do not know how you found us or which pages you read. You can clear the language setting in your browser at any time. ### Do you keep my crypto transaction ID? Yes, once the top-up is matched. With it we keep the coin, the network and the exact amount. The transaction ID points to a public transaction, which shows the sending address to anyone. We never ask you for a wallet address: top-ups are matched by their exact amount. We don't accept Monero (XMR). ### Can I delete my account and my data? Yes. Deletion is possible on request from your account, at any time; the account number, its orders and its balance are then erased. After that, we cannot show your QR code again, apply a top-up or credit a refund. Any remaining balance is erased and is not refunded. The rule does not name top-up records, so we do not promise they are erased, and a crypto transaction stays on its public blockchain, which nobody can edit. ### Can UnlistedSIM see where I use my eSIM? Not from our records: they hold no location history, because location data sits with the mobile networks, which see the cells your phone uses. Our partner network reports each eSIM's status and data used to us, as listed on this page. Your traffic does not pass through us, so we cannot see the sites you visit either. Who sees what, party by party, is on [who sees what](https://unlistedsim.com/who-sees-what/). ### Why do I need an account at all? Because the eSIM needs a place to live after payment. The account holds your balance, shows your QR code again when you need it, and lets you buy top-ups for the same eSIM. It is a random number, not a profile: no name and no phone number, and no email unless you add one. --- UnlistedSIM: UnlistedSIM offers an eSIM without ID or email at checkout, from $1.09.

The visited network is the local operator serving the phone; the actual available network depends on the profile and destination. The network that issued the profile is one of our established partner networks; its country per plan is not yet published. We sell eSIMs, so we are one of the parties in this table. ## What do IMEI, IMSI, ICCID and routing mean? **IMEI** — International Mobile Equipment Identity: the serial number of the phone's mobile radio. It stays the same when you change SIM or eSIM. **IMSI** — International Mobile Subscriber Identity: the subscription number stored in a SIM or eSIM profile. Networks use it to identify and authenticate the line. **ICCID** — Integrated Circuit Card Identifier: the serial number of a SIM card or eSIM profile. We keep it with your order to apply top-ups and to answer support questions. **Home routing** — A roaming setup in which the issuing network gives the phone its IP address, and all traffic goes back to that network (IETF). **Local breakout** — A roaming setup in which the visited network gives the IP address, and traffic leaves to the internet near the phone (IETF). ## Does an eSIM encrypt my traffic? Mobile networks use link encryption, and HTTPS protects supported application content. A downloadable eSIM profile does not itself provide an end-to-end VPN or conceal traffic metadata, device identifiers or cell location from mobile networks. A VPN can additionally protect traffic to its endpoint. The network still sees that endpoint and connection metadata; the VPN provider becomes another party that can observe destination metadata. HTTPS content remains protected where supported. ## Which country will my IP address be in with a travel eSIM? It depends on how the plan is routed. With home routing, the network that issued the profile gives the IP address. That address can belong to another country than the one you visit. With local breakout, the visited network assigns it, so it belongs to that country's network. The IETF describes both modes. We have not yet published the exit-IP country of each plan. Check yours after activation with any “what is my IP” site, and see the [exit-IP registry](https://unlistedsim.com/exit-ip-registry/). This matters for banking and login apps, which can react when the IP country differs from where you are. ## Can the network see my location with a travel eSIM? Yes, approximately. The visited network knows which cells your phone uses, which gives a position that is more precise where cells are dense. This is how any mobile network delivers data, with any SIM or eSIM. Turning off location services does not change it: that setting controls what apps receive. Turning off all mobile lines or enabling airplane mode stops mobile-network connections; Wi-Fi can remain active. ## Does keeping my home SIM active reveal where I am? Yes, to your home carrier. With dual SIM, both lines are active at the same time (Apple). If your home SIM roams on a local network, your home carrier sees which country and network you are on. It also keeps its own records of your calls and SMS. Both lines also run on the same phone, in the same place. Keep the home SIM on if you need bank codes or calls; switch it off if you do not. ## Can a crypto payment be linked to my eSIM? Our records link a transaction ID to an account number and its orders. The public blockchain shows addresses, amounts and times. An exchange you paid from can connect the payment to an identity it verified. Other observers may infer links by combining timing or additional information; shared deposit addresses do not guarantee that a purchase cannot be associated with you. We do not accept Monero. Read [payment privacy](https://unlistedsim.com/pay-privately/) and [what we collect](https://unlistedsim.com/what-we-collect/). ## What can the police obtain, and from whom? Each party can be asked for what it holds. Location and IMEI records sit with the mobile networks. Identity sits with exchanges that verified you and with the accounts you sign into. We hold account numbers, orders, the network-reported status and usage of each eSIM, top-up records, logged-in devices and any optional email a customer adds, never a name. We answer only legally binding orders under the law of Panama, where the operating company is registered. What exists and what does not is on [law enforcement requests](https://unlistedsim.com/law-enforcement-requests/). ## How was this table made, and can I reuse it? It summarises how roaming works, as the IETF describes it, and our own records policy, published on [what we collect](https://unlistedsim.com/what-we-collect/). We did not test any operator's internal logs. Where a party's retention period is not public, the table says “their own policy”. We update the page when one of these facts changes. The table is published under **CC BY 4.0**: you can reuse it, including commercially, with credit to UnlistedSIM and a link to this page. UnlistedSIM sells data eSIMs with no ID and no email, paid in crypto; prices are on the [pricing page](https://unlistedsim.com/pricing/). ## What else should I know? ### Can an eSIM be tracked? Yes. Like a physical SIM, an eSIM connects through a mobile network that sees the phone's IMEI and its approximate location from the cells it uses. Buying the eSIM without ID does not change that. UnlistedSIM, a no-ID eSIM seller paid in crypto, removes the identity check at purchase, not what the network sees. ### Can an eSIM bought without ID be traced to me? It depends on what else links to you. We hold no name and no ID, and no email unless you add one: our records are an account number, orders, eSIM status and usage, top-ups and logged-in devices. But the networks see your phone, an exchange you paid from may know who you are, and every account you sign into knows you. A no-ID purchase removes one link, not all of them. ### Does turning off location services stop eSIM tracking? No. Location services control what apps receive from GPS, Wi-Fi and cells. The mobile network locates the phone from the cells it connects to, whatever your settings. Turning off all mobile lines or enabling airplane mode stops mobile-network connections; Wi-Fi can remain active. This is true for any SIM or eSIM. ### Can UnlistedSIM see where I am? Not from our records: they hold no location history, because location data sits with the mobile networks. Our partner network reports each eSIM's status and data used to us; everything we hold is listed on [what we collect](https://unlistedsim.com/what-we-collect/). Your traffic does not pass through us either, so we cannot see the sites and apps you use. ### Will websites know which country I am in? They see the country of your IP address, which can differ from where you are. With home routing, the address comes from the network that issued the profile, possibly in another country. With local breakout, it belongs to the visited country's network. Apps that use GPS location, with your permission, see where you really are. ### Does an eSIM hide my identity from apps? No. Apps identify you by the accounts you sign into, by device details and by the permissions you grant. Changing SIM or eSIM changes none of that. A web page cannot read your IMEI, but it sees your IP address, and an app you sign into knows who you are. ### Can my crypto payment reveal which eSIM I bought? Our records contain the direct link between a matched transaction, an account number and its orders. The blockchain reveals amounts, times and addresses; an exchange may know the payer’s identity. Shared deposit addresses do not rule out inferences from timing or other information, so we do not promise payment unlinkability. ### Who keeps data about my eSIM the longest? The blockchain: a crypto transaction stays public forever. Mobile networks and exchanges keep their records under their own policies and local laws. At UnlistedSIM, order records are kept as long as your account exists, so the QR code can be shown again and refunds can be credited, then deleted with the account. Each item we keep, with its retention rule, is on [data retention](https://unlistedsim.com/data-retention/). ### Can I reuse the Who Sees What table? Yes. The table is published under CC BY 4.0. You can copy, adapt and republish it, including commercially, if you credit UnlistedSIM and link to this page. UnlistedSIM sells eSIMs, so it is one of the parties described; please keep that note when you reuse the table. ## Which sources support this guide? 1.
