Get StartedFAQ
What is KYC?
KYC stands for "Know Your Customer" — identity verification that most carriers require. dracotel doesn't. No ID, no personal info when purchasing with Bitcoin, no registration. Just pay and connect.
What is breakage?
Breakage is the industry practice of selling fixed data bundles that expire before you use them. You pay for 5 GB, use 2 GB, and lose the rest. dracotel has no breakage — your balance never expires and you only pay for what you use, down to the megabyte.
Can I choose my network?
Yes. In most countries multiple networks are available. You can switch between them to optimize for signal strength or price — you're never locked into a single carrier. Use the rate search to check available carriers and rates for any country.
Can I make and receive phone calls?
No. dracotel is a data-only eSIM. It does not support traditional voice calls or have a phone number. Traditional phone calls are unencrypted and easily intercepted. We encourage using voice and video calls over data through apps with end-to-end encryption like Signal, WhatsApp, and Telegram.
Can I send and receive SMS messages?
No. SMS is not supported. Like traditional voice calls, SMS messages are unencrypted and easily intercepted. We encourage using end-to-end encrypted messenger apps like Signal, WhatsApp, and Telegram instead — they all work perfectly over data.
What devices does it work with?
Any device with eSIM support — phones, tablets, laptops, routers, and GPS trackers. Works with both unlocked and carrier-locked phones (eSIM is independent of your carrier SIM). iPhone XS and newer, most Android phones from 2020+, iPad, and a growing number of cellular routers and modems.
Does my data ever expire?
Never — as long as your subscription is active. Buy 5 GB of data, use 3 GB this month, and the remaining 2 GB is still there in one year, five years, or even ten. No expiry dates, no use-it-or-lose-it. Top up whenever you want.
What's the difference between a global eSIM and a per-country eSIM?
A per-country eSIM works in one country or region — you buy a new one for each destination, each with its own data bundle, expiry date, and activation. A global eSIM like dracotel works in 200+ countries on a single subscription. One QR code, one balance, no swapping. Your data carries over between countries and never expires.
What are the advantages of a global eSIM?
One subscription covers everywhere — no buying and managing separate eSIMs for every trip. Your balance never expires and carries over between countries. No comparing plans for each destination, no activation delays, and no leftover data you paid for but can't use. Set it up once and it just works wherever you go.
Is a global eSIM just for travellers?
Not at all. While travel is a popular use case, people use dracotel for homelab backup internet, IoT and GPS tracking, privacy-focused connectivity, digital nomad life, business continuity, and as a secondary data line. Any scenario where you need flexible, pay-as-you-go cellular data works.
Can I use an eSIM as a primary internet connection at home?
Yes. Install the eSIM on a phone and tether via USB or hotspot, or use an eSIM-compatible cellular router or modem. Brands like GL.iNet, Netgear, Peplink, and Cradlepoint offer eSIM-compatible models. You can also throttle your connection speed to control data usage. Pay-as-you-go means you only pay for what you use — no contracts, no monthly minimums.
What countries are supported?
dracotel works in 200+ countries across every continent. Coverage spans major cities and rural areas alike, with multiple network options in most regions. View all supported countries.
