Payment notes

Airhub's guide is candid in a way few merchant pages are. On coins: "Airhub accepts Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Tether (USDT), and USD Coin (USDC) for eSIM purchases." On the flow: pick a plan, choose "Pay with Crypto" at checkout, enter an email for delivery, scan the QR code or copy the address, send, and "the moment the blockchain confirms, your eSIM QR code drops into your inbox, usually within minutes"; the provider "typically converts your crypto to fiat at the instant you pay, so you're locked to a set price". On privacy, the line most crypto merchants avoid: "crypto payments are private, not automatically anonymous ... where a payment processor sits in the middle, some data may live on their side too." On fees: the same price as card, plus the network fee. What the guide does not give is the network for either stablecoin or the name of the processor, so both fields are empty here; on a purchase this small the network fee is the whole cost of paying in crypto, and the checkout is where you will see the options.

Refunds

Not documented for crypto specifically on the pages we read. Airhub's help centre governs plan issues; a crypto payment converted to fiat at purchase would be refunded, if at all, by Airhub rather than reversed on chain.

Stablecoin refunds are outbound payments a merchant chooses to send, not automatic reversals. There is no chargeback.

Airhub wrote the guide most crypto-accepting merchants should have written, including the paragraph they usually leave out.

The useful paragraph

“Crypto payments are private, not automatically anonymous. Public blockchains record every transaction, and where a payment processor sits in the middle, some data may live on their side too.” That is the correct description of paying for an eSIM in USDC, and it is rare to see a seller put it in writing. The same guide names the coins — Bitcoin, Ethereum, Tether, USD Coin — and the flow, and says the price is the same as card.

What is missing

The network, and the processor. For a plan costing a few dollars the network fee decides whether crypto is a sensible way to pay; Airhub leaves that to the checkout screen. Read it there.

eSIM-Now names its networks; Eskimo routes through Triple-A; PikaSim runs its own payment server. The telecom category compares them.

Verification

Verified Verified September 2026

An editor confirmed these payment options against the sources listed below.

The merchant's own blog guide names Tether and USD Coin explicitly as accepted for eSIM purchases, describes the checkout and the fiat conversion at payment, and discusses the privacy limits. That is merchant documentation naming the coins, sufficient for a verified status without a live purchase, which we did not make. Airhub's October 2025 press release announcing crypto payments is reported to name the same four assets, but the wire service hosting it refuses automated requests and it is not cited; the guide on Airhub's own domain carries the record. No processor and no network are named anywhere we read. The company's location is not stated on the pages we read and none is asserted.

  1. Added to directory

    Added after reading Airhub's own crypto guide naming USDT and USDC. Processor and network unpublished. Airhub's October 2025 launch announcement could not be read directly, so no dated acceptance event is recorded.

Limitations

  • No network is named for USDT or USDC. Read it off the checkout before sending.
  • No processor is named; the guide says only that "a payment processor sits in the middle" and may hold some data.
  • Crypto pricing matches card pricing, with the blockchain network fee as the only extra.
  • Airhub says eKYC "may apply to some plans" regardless of payment method — a carrier rule, not a crypto one.
