Silent.Link review

Silent.Link provides pay-as-you-go eSIM data for 160+ countries and offers plans featuring a US or UK phone number for text messaging. It maintains a zero-KYC policy by requiring no personal information, not even an email address. Customers can make payments using a Bitcoin or Lightning invoice, after which they access the eSIM QR code through their personal order page. Both funds and accounts with Silent.Link are non-expiring. However, the US number plan limits users to receiving texts only, as outbound texts are disabled to prevent spam and misuse. In our view, Silent.Link suits travelers seeking mobile data without sharing personal details.

How we read the terms

We do not give privacy services a score. We record what each provider's own pages say: when it asks for ID, the limits, who holds your coins and what it costs. Labels come from each provider's terms, never from our guess. How we read the terms

Our process

We take fees, availability, licenses and coin counts from primary sources: Silent.Link's own fee schedules, terms and help pages, and the public registers kept by regulators. Every value carries the date we last checked it. The values on this page were checked on October 22, 2026.
