PikaSim
We never ask for your email, name or ID, so there is nothing to leak, sell or spam. Every plan names the country your data exits in, and it is never Hong Kong or China. Runs on LG Uplus and SKTelecom with 5G, everywhere they have coverage.
Traveling to more than one country?
Lots of eSIMs skip the ID check. What we do differently is what happens to you after you buy: nothing, because we never learn who you are.
Nearly every eSIM store wants your email before it sells you anything. Then come the newsletters, the “you forgot something” reminders, and a customer file with your name in it that can be breached, shared with partners or sold to data brokers.
We took a stand against that. PikaSim never asks for your email, name, phone number or an account. There is no mailing list to put you on and no profile of you to sell, because we never had it in the first place.
Your eSIM's traffic reaches the internet in one specific country, and that country's laws reach your data. Most eSIM stores never tell you which one.
Cheap eSIMs very often exit through Hong Kong. In the wholesale catalog we buy from, the Hong Kong version of a plan is cheaper about two times in three, typically by around a quarter. That discount deserves a question: Hong Kong falls under Beijing's 2020 National Security Law, which lets the authorities intercept communications.
So we don't sell them, and every plan card names its exit country before you pay.
On this page: Your South Korea data exits to the internet in Singapore, so websites and apps see an IP address in Singapore. That is fixed for every plan on this page: not Hong Kong, not China.
South Korea requires alien registration cards for foreigners and resident registration numbers for citizens to purchase SIM cards. All telecommunications are linked to government identification systems.
PikaSim is a roaming data service, not a local SIM, so South Korea's SIM registration rules do not apply to it. Nothing to show, nothing to scan, nothing to register.
Journalists protecting sources. Aid and NGO workers in difficult places. Researchers, activists, and anyone whose phone line should not lead back to them. PikaSim fits the precautions you already take: no identity on the line, no name or email on file to leak or hand over, an exit country you know in advance, and a checkout that works over Tor on a de-Googled phone.
A private eSIM is one layer. Pair it with a hardened phone, an encrypted messenger and Tor for the rest.

Your South Korea eSIM runs on LG Uplus and SKTelecom, the same networks locals in South Korea use. It works everywhere LG Uplus or SKTelecom has coverage: cities, small towns, the countryside, motorways and railway lines alike. Your phone locks on to whichever has the strongest signal and moves between them as you travel.
Your IP address: Your South Korea data exits to the internet in Singapore, so websites and apps see an IP address in Singapore. That is fixed for every plan on this page: not Hong Kong, not China.
