Step by step: eSIM with Lightning
- 1
Choose your eSIM plan
Pick a destination and data size from the plans page. No account or sign-up is needed at any point.
- 2
Enter a delivery email
At checkout, enter the email address where you want your eSIM QR code delivered — a privacy alias or throwaway address works fine.
- 3
Select crypto and send BTC ⚡
Choose crypto as the payment method. The payment page shows the exact amount and a payment address with QR — send it from any wallet or exchange.
- 4
Scan the QR from your inbox
As soon as the payment confirms, your eSIM QR code and install steps are emailed automatically. Scan it in your phone settings and you're online.
Good to know when paying with BTC ⚡
- Where the crypto checkout offers Lightning for your order, you'll get a standard BOLT11 invoice to scan or paste — settlement is near-instant.
- Fees are a fraction of on-chain Bitcoin, which matters on small purchases like an eSIM.
- If Lightning isn't offered for your order at that moment, on-chain BTC, USDT and other coins are always available on the same payment page.
- Delivery is automatic the moment the invoice settles — usually before you've closed your wallet.
Wallets that work
Any wallet that can send BTC ⚡ works — the checkout is a plain payment address, nothing proprietary. Commonly used options:
- Phoenix, Breez, Zeus and other self-custody Lightning wallets
- Wallet of Satoshi and other custodial Lightning wallets
- Exchanges with Lightning withdrawals (Kraken, Binance…)
- Muun and other hybrid on-chain/Lightning wallets
FAQ
Can I buy an eSIM with Lightning without KYC?

How fast is a Lightning eSIM purchase?
Seconds. Lightning invoices settle near-instantly, and eSIM delivery is automatic on settlement — it's typically faster than a card payment.
What if Lightning isn't shown at checkout?
The crypto payment page lists the coins and networks available for your order at that moment. If Lightning isn't offered, on-chain BTC, USDT, USDC and others always are.
