Last updated: August 31st, 2025

Need reliable, private mobile data when you travel? This review walks through purchasing a SIMSUP US data‑only eSIM paid entirely with Monero (XMR). If you are traveling or value privacy, SIMSUP’s anonymous eSIM can be a useful option.

What SIMSUP Offers

Anonymous SIMs and eSIMs — no identity verification or paperwork.
Pay with Monero (XMR).
Global coverage options; pricing for data‑only eSIMs starts around €1.8 for small plans (varies by region).
Great for short trips or privacy‑minded users.

Requirements

An email address for order delivery.
A phone that supports eSIM (iPhone XS or newer; many modern Androids).
Redeem over a normal connection — do not use a VPN or Tor when activating.

Buy a US Data‑Only eSIM with Monero

Go to simsup.net and select a US data‑only eSIM.
Add to cart and choose Monero (XMR) at checkout.
Pay the requested amount from your wallet and wait for the required confirmations.
After payment confirms, you will receive three emails; the third includes a unique QR code for activation.

Activate the eSIM (QR Code)

Open the email on a different device or print the QR code.
On your phone, open the camera or the mobile data settings and choose Add eSIM → Use QR code.
Allow activation, name the line (e.g., “SIMSUP US”), and complete setup.
Disable other plans that might interfere; set the eSIM as the active data line.

Testing & Performance

In this test, speeds were not extremely fast but sufficient for texts and email. For a small/cheap plan, this is expected and can be enough in emergencies or for light use.

Pros

Privacy‑first: no personal info beyond an email address.
Pay with Monero for end‑to‑end private purchase.
Simple activation via QR code; no physical SIM required.
Useful as a backup data source while traveling.

Cons

Lower speeds on small/cheap plans; not ideal for heavy streaming.
Coverage and performance vary by location and device.

Best Practices

Test with a small plan first to confirm coverage where you’ll use it.
After activation, set the eSIM as the default data line and keep your primary line disabled if you want all traffic to use the eSIM.
Keep a screenshot of the QR/email and order ID for reference.

Summary

SIMSUP makes it easy to get a privacy‑friendly eSIM funded with Monero. It’s ideal for quick trips, backup connectivity, or privacy‑first users who only need light data. If you’re traveling or want a low‑cost, anonymous data option, consider SIMSUP.
