An eSIM without the app
Buy in the browser from $5.00, install from your phone's own settings, done. No download, no registration, no login to forget.
No account · No KYC · Instant QR, email optional
eSIM installation has been built into iOS and Android settings since 2018 — the apps that big marketplaces push exist for their benefit, not yours. Here the entire flow is a web page and a QR code: pick a plan, check out as a guest (email optional — the tracking-code checkout needs no contact details at all), and scan the QR straight into your settings. Nothing is ever installed on your phone except the eSIM profile itself.

The whole flow, browser to connected
- 1
Open the site — that's the whole install
Everything happens in the browser tab you're reading now. There is no app to download, no App Store detour, and nothing to update in six months.
- 2
Pick a plan
Choose a destination and data size. Prices are flat USD — what you see is what you pay, no account-holder pricing games.
- 3
Check out as a guest
No sign-up and no password — enter a delivery email, or choose the tracking-code option and skip even that. Pay by crypto or card.
- 4
Scan the QR into your phone's settings
The eSIM installs through your phone's built-in settings (Settings → Cellular/Connections → Add eSIM), not through any app. iOS and Android both do this natively.
- 5
Connect on arrival
Turn the line on when you land and you're online. Manage nothing, log into nothing — if you ever need the QR again, your email or tracking code retrieves it on the My eSIM page.

No app or signup — FAQ
Can I really use an eSIM without installing an app?
Yes — apps are a vendor choice, not a technical requirement. eSIM installation is built into iOS and Android settings; all you need is the QR code. We sell in the browser and deliver a QR, so no app ever touches your phone.
Why do most eSIM sellers require an app?
Retention and marketing: an app gives them notifications, an account, and a store on your home screen. It gives you a download, a sign-up and another login to manage. Nothing about delivering mobile data requires it.
Do I need to create an account or register?
No. Checkout is guest-only — no sign-up, no registration, no password. With the tracking-code option there's no email either; the order exists with no identity attached at all.
How do I top up or rebuy without an account?
Just buy again — it takes under a minute precisely because there's no login to remember. Plans don't auto-renew, so there's nothing to manage or cancel either.
How do I check my data balance without an app?
Your phone's own settings show eSIM data usage (Settings → Cellular/Mobile Data on iOS, Settings → Connections → Data usage on Android). For order status and your QR code, the My eSIM page works from any browser with your email or tracking code.
Does no-app mean less support?
No — 24/7 human chat is on every page of the site, which is exactly where you'd already be. No app also means nothing to reinstall when you're troubleshooting on hotel WiFi.
