Quick answer
Can you buy an eSIM with Monero?
eSIM with Monero: yes, from some no-KYC sellers, but not from UnlistedSIM. As of 9 October 2026, Silent.link, PikaSim, nadanada and Stellar eSim list Monero (XMR) on their sites, and a tester on the GrapheneOS forum reported that VoidMob accepts it. UnlistedSIM, a no-ID eSIM seller paid in crypto, accepts BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC, from $1.09 per plan; we don't accept Monero and announce no date for it.

Checked on
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 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.
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, what paying with Litecoin reveals, and the comparison of all 7 options on 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?
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).
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 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.
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.
