Why Choose a No-KYC eSIM for Your Pixel 9 Pro?
I recently got the Pixel 9 Pro as an early Christmas gift and slapped GrapheneOS on it, and grabbed an eSIM. I had a bit of issues although it’s an overall straightforward process.
The combination of Pixel 9 Pro and GrapheneOS is a gold standard for privacy-conscious users. Adding a no-KYC eSIM purchased with cryptocurrency ensures:
- Maximum Privacy: Your data stays secure, with no personal information tied to your connection.
- Convenience: Instant eSIM activation, no shipping delays(although I did have to contact support due to a technical difficulty, they sorted it out pretty quick).
- Affordable Plans: Providers like esimsdata.com offer unlimited data at low prices.

My Troubleshooting Experience
When I first set up my eSIM on the Pixel 9 Pro running GrapheneOS, I hit a couple roadblocks:
Roadblock 1:
- I got the QR Code to activate the eSim on my device, but upon scanning it the device said to contact the service provider for support, and the manual code given just said pending.
- Upon contacting support and a slight back and forth they sent me a working manual activation code, and I just hit the help button, then selected the option to add it manually and entered the code suport gave.
Roadblock 2:
- Data wasn’t working until I manually configured the APN to
wap. - The process was simple after identifying the issue, but documentation from eSIM providers could be clearer.
Pro Tip: If your data connection isn’t working, double-check the APN settings. They’re often the missing link.
