Why pay with Ethereum
An ETH payment is a plain transfer to a one-time Ethereum address generated for your order. Blocks come every twelve seconds, so the payment page usually shows the deposit as credited within a few minutes; the line follows about a minute later.
- Mainnet only. The address is an Ethereum mainnet address. Layer-2 networks and other EVM chains are not watched.
- ETH, not a token. Send ether itself. USDT on Ethereum has its own payment option; other ERC-20 tokens are not accepted.
- Gas is yours. The amount shown is what must arrive; the network fee is paid on top by your wallet.
How it works, step by step
- Pick the line. Choose a country and a line type among 47 countries. The exact total, activation included, is shown before you pay.
- Choose Ethereum at checkout. The payment page shows the amount in ETH, a one-time address and a QR code. The amount is held for 30 minutes.
- Send the exact amount. From any wallet or exchange, on the Ethereum mainnet network. Add your exchange's withdrawal fee on top so the full sum arrives.
- Wait for credit. A few minutes in practice. The page moves from seen to confirming to credited on its own; no need to reload.
- Use the line. It is live about a minute after credit: calls, SMS with the code extracted, voicemail — from the panel or the API.
Choose Ethereum at checkout, copy the address or scan the QR code, and send the exact ETH amount shown. The rate is held for 30 minutes. The page moves from seen to credited as the transaction is included and confirmed.
Check the gas before you press send. At a busy hour the fee can exceed the price of a monthly line. Wait an hour, or pay in Litecoin, Solana or Tron instead — same number, cents in fees.
Fees, timing and what leaves a trace
| Question | With ETH |
|---|---|
| Network | Ethereum mainnet |
| Time to credit | A few minutes |
| Network fees | Gas: from under a dollar to several, depending on congestion |
| Visible on the chain | Transparent chain; settled to Monero on our side. |
| Address | One-time, generated for this order, never reused |
| Rate | Held for 30 minutes; a late payment is credited at its value on arrival |
| Under / over payment | Credited as a partial to complete / credited as extra balance. Nothing returned to the sender |
| Settled in | Monero, on our side, the moment it credits |
Mistakes that cost money
- Sending on Arbitrum, Base, Optimism or Polygon. Same address format, different chain: the deposit is not seen and cannot be recovered. Mainnet only.
- Sending a token instead of ETH. Only ether is credited on this option.
- Exchange fees. Some exchanges deduct a withdrawal fee from the amount sent, leaving a partial. Add the fee on top so the exact amount arrives.
Questions
How long does an Ethereum payment take?
A few minutes: the transaction is included within seconds and credited after the confirmations shown on the payment page. The line is live about a minute after that.
Can I send from Arbitrum, Base or another layer 2?
No. Only Ethereum mainnet is watched. A deposit sent on another chain to the same address is lost.
Can I pay with an ERC-20 token?
USDT on Ethereum, yes, through the USDT option. Other tokens, no.
Who pays the gas fee?
You do, on top of the amount shown. When gas is high, Litecoin, Solana or Tron cost cents and credit just as fast.
Is an Ethereum payment private?
No more than Bitcoin: the chain is public. On our side it is settled to Monero at once and the address is never reused.
The payment mechanics above are the ones described in the refund policy and the API reference. If a wallet or an exchange behaves differently from what this page says, tell us and we will correct it.
