Topping up in crypto
You fund your balance first, so you are not making a separate crypto payment for every plan. Pick an amount, choose from nine coins including Bitcoin, Bitcoin Lightning, Monero, Ethereum, USDT, USDC, Solana, and BNB, and send to the address and QR we show you.
There is no fee math to do. The amount on the payment screen is the amount to send, and we add a small 0.2% to cover network costs, so there are no surprises at the end. The quote holds for 15 minutes, which is plenty of time to send from any wallet or exchange.
Match the network
Buying from your balance
Once your top-up confirms, your balance is ready. Spend it on anything SimVala sells:
- Travel eSIM data in 200+ countries, from $1.99
- Local virtual numbers for calls and SMS
- One-off SMS verification to a number you rent
- Calls over VoIP where available
Anything left on your balance stays there for next time, so a single top-up can cover a whole trip and the one after it.
Scanning and connecting
For an eSIM, your QR code appears in your dashboard the moment the purchase completes. Open your phone's settings, add an eSIM, scan the code, and the profile installs. Most people are online within two minutes. Our install guides walk through it per device.
For a virtual number, there is nothing to install. The number is live in your dashboard, and any SMS or call to it shows up there.
Why a balance, and why crypto
Paying in crypto means no card on file and no ID to buy, so your purchase is not tied to your identity. The balance model keeps it private and simple: you fund once, then buy quietly from your balance without a new payment trail each time. For the privacy details, see how we handle your data.
