Why pay with Bitcoin

Bitcoin is the coin most people already hold, so paying with BTC means spending what is in your wallet without converting first.

For small top ups the Lightning Network is the sweet spot: payments confirm in seconds and fees are a fraction of a cent.

  • Spend the BTC you already hold
  • On-chain or Lightning Network supported
  • No card, no bank, no ID to buy

    Send the exact figure shown on Bitcoin, Lightning. The quote holds for 15 minutes.

  3. 3

    Buy from your balance

    Once the payment confirms, pick any eSIM plan or virtual number.

What you can buy, and what it costs

One BTC top up covers everything SimVala sells: travel data across 200+ countries, local virtual numbers, SMS, and calls. Plans start at $1.99, so you only pay for what you use, and any balance left over stays for next time.

  • •A 5 GB US plan is $5.99.
  • •A 5 GB Japan plan is $6.99.

You only pay for the data you pick. There is no contract and no auto-renewal, and any balance left over stays on your account for your next trip.
