Bitcoin-compatible mobile recharge platform Bitrefill has announced support for eSIM purchases with multiple cryptocurrencies. The service will allow travelers to have access to fast internet in different countries across the world after purchasing prepaid data plans using their digital currencies.
You can now buy Bitrefill eSIM cards using your Crypto Wallet
Bitrefill, a popular site for purchasing cryptocurrency gift cards and mobile recharges, has introduced support for eSIM purchases. The new feature will allow cryptocurrency users to have an instant mobile internet connection without the need to switch SIM cards when travelling, the company highlighted in a blog post on Tuesday, stating:
In our quest to continually innovate and make life easier for our customers with cryptocurrency, you can now enjoy seamless global connectivity no matter where you are without the hassle of physical SIM cards.
An eSIM is a digital SIM card that allows you to activate a carrier’s cellular plan without using a physical SIM. This allows you to keep your primary SIM card while purchasing and using an eSIM card, which is convenient and time-saving, Bitrefill explained.
The service can also avoid any nasty surprises in terms of unexpected roaming costs, as you’ll be using prepaid data. “Whether you are a traveler, frequent or occasional, an eSIM is the most flexible and practical solution for accessing the Internet virtually anywhere in the world,” adds the company.
Bitrefill offers cryptocurrency enthusiasts a variety of local, regional and global eSIMs. To take advantage of the feature, you must first make sure your mobile device supports this type of digital SIM card and then choose an eSIM plan. You must provide an email address at checkout.
eSIMs can be purchased with bitcoin (BTC) and ethereum (ETH), among other cryptocurrencies and stablecoins like tether (USDT). Bitrefill also accepts all major fiat currencies including US Dollar, Euro, British Pound and more.
