How to use less data abroad

Good questions, quick answers
- Do I need to pass KYC or give an ID?
- No. NoIDeSim asks for no passport, no selfie, no email and no registration. Pick a destination, pay, and receive your eSIM — that is the whole flow.
- What is an eSIM?
- An eSIM is a digital SIM built into your phone. There is no plastic card to insert: you scan a QR code (or enter the activation details) and the data plan is installed in about a minute.
- Does my phone support eSIM?
- Most phones from 2019 onward do: iPhone XS/XR and newer, Samsung Galaxy S20 and newer, Google Pixel 3 and newer, and many others. Look for “Add eSIM” under Settings → Cellular / Mobile network. The phone must not be carrier-locked.
- How do I pay?
- With cryptocurrency — USDT, USDC, BTC, ETH, SOL, TON or XMR — from any wallet or exchange, or with Telegram Stars right inside Telegram.
