Paying with Monero (XMR)
Bitcoin makes the purchase pseudonymous. Monero makes it private by default — no public trail to analyze at all. It’s the coin we recommend when privacy is the point.
Why XMR fits eSIMs
- Privacy without effort. Ring signatures and stealth addresses hide sender, receiver and amount — by default, not as an option.
- No address-reuse anxiety. The chain analysis tricks that deanonymize careless BTC use simply don’t apply.
- Cheap. Typical fees are under a cent — sensible even for a $25 top-up.
No wallet yet? Two solid choices
Open-source iOS/Android wallet. Create, back up the seed phrase offline, buy or swap XMR in-app.
Lightweight open-source desktop wallet, runs its own light connection — the enthusiast’s pick.
Whichever you pick: write the seed phrase on paper. A wallet you can’t restore is money you don’t own.
Checkout, step by step
- 01Add funds → choose XMR
Pick the amount; a fresh Monero address is minted for your invoice.
- 02Copy amount + address
Or scan the QR straight from the invoice screen.
- 03Send from your wallet
One transaction, exact amount. Monero handles the privacy automatically.
- 04Wait ~10 confirmations
Roughly 10–20 minutes; the invoice screen polls and credits your balance the moment it settles.
- 05Buy your pack
One tap from balance — the eSIM QR appears immediately.
Edge cases worth knowing
| Situation | What happens |
|---|---|
| Sent slightly less than invoiced | The payment stalls as “underpaid” — open a ticket; it’s settled manually, nothing is lost. |
| Invoice expired before sending | Don’t send to an expired address — generate a fresh invoice instead. |
| Sent from an exchange | Works, but withdrawals can take longer than the invoice window — a self-custody wallet is smoother (and more private). |
Questions, answered
Is Monero legal to use?
In most jurisdictions, yes — it’s a currency, and privacy is not a crime. Some exchanges have delisted it under pressure, which is exactly why self-custody wallets matter.
Why do you also accept transparent coins then?
Choice. Plenty of buyers already hold BTC or stablecoins and accept their trade-offs. The invoice flow is identical — XMR is simply the strongest default when privacy drives the purchase.
Does the price change if I pay in XMR?
No. Prices are set in USD; the invoice locks the equivalent XMR amount for its validity window. No privacy surcharge.
