Buy a travel eSIM with crypto: USDT (TRC20) or TON, no account, no ID
Photo: Roger BrownYou can buy a travel eSIM with crypto on eSIM SOS: USDT on the TRC20 network or TON, for 198+ countries, from $1.96 (Turkey). There is no account and no ID check: you enter an email, pay from any wallet or exchange, and the QR code appears on the order page right after the payment is confirmed. Crypto works from any country, which makes it the main payment method for travelers outside Russia.
How to pay for an eSIM with USDT or TON
- Open the page of your destination, for example eSIM for Turkey or eSIM for Thailand, and pick a plan.
- At checkout, enter your email and choose Crypto, then the coin: USDT (TRC20) or TON. The checkout shows the approximate coin amount next to the price.
- On the payment page, send the exact amount to the address shown, from any wallet or exchange.
- When the transaction is confirmed, the order page shows the QR code, and the same QR code arrives by email.
- Scan the QR code in your phone settings at home over Wi-Fi, and turn the eSIM on after landing. Step by step: how to activate an eSIM abroad.
Two mistakes that lose a crypto payment
- Wrong network. USDT is accepted only on TRC20 (Tron). The same USDT sent over ERC20 or BNB Chain to a TRC20 address will not arrive.
- An amount that arrives short. Exchanges deduct a withdrawal fee from what you send. If the amount that reaches the address is less than the one on the payment page, the payment may not be counted, so add the exchange fee on top.
Prices
Prices are shown in US dollars and are the same for every payment method, fees included. Crypto is charged at the current exchange rate; the payment page shows the exact coin amount before you pay. The 500 MB trial plans can't be paid with crypto, only by card or SBP.
| Destination | From |
|---|---|
| Turkey | $1.96 |
| Thailand | $2.20 |
| Georgia | $2.36 |
| UAE | $3.25 |
| Spain | $2.07 |
Live prices for every plan are on the country pages and in an open price feed: esim-prices.json.
Why pay for an eSIM with crypto
- It works from any country. You do not need a card issued in a particular country.
- No account and no documents. A travel eSIM is a data-only roaming profile, so it is sold online without registration with a carrier. Only an email is needed.
- One currency for all trips. USDT is pegged to the US dollar, and TON is convenient if you already use a Telegram wallet.
eSIM SOS in Telegram
The eSIM SOS mini app in Telegram has the same catalog. There you can also pay with Telegram Stars.
Other payment methods
Bank cards issued in Russia (Mir, Visa, Mastercard) and SBP are also accepted, charged in rubles at the Central Bank of Russia rate on the day of payment. Cards issued outside Russia are not accepted at the moment, so from other countries pay with crypto.
