How we ranked them
- Privacy first. If a provider requires email + card, it's not anonymous.
- Per-GB price. We compared the same 10 popular countries across providers.
- Expiry. A "cheap" plan that expires in 7 days isn't actually cheap.
- Payment options. BTC + Lightning is table stakes; USDT and a card fallback are bonus points.
- Coverage. 200+ countries with major wholesale carriers, not regional packs.
Our pick: Silent eSIM
Same privacy as Silent.link, lower per-GB price in most countries, balance that never expires, and a card fallback up to $200 for the rare moment you don't have sats handy. See live prices on our /rates page.
