π Step 1: Start With a Fresh, Cheap Mobile Deviceβ
Purchase a new budget smartphone with cash, ideally in-store, without providing personal data. Avoid linking it to any existing Google or Apple account.
π Step 2: Get Anonymous Internet Accessβ
A clean device means little without a private connection. Here are your main options:
1. Use a No-Logs VPN with Crypto Paymentsβ
Use a VPN provider that supports anonymous signups and accepts Monero or other cryptocurrencies.
Recommended:
π AirVPN β Accepts Monero
2. Use Free Public WiFiβ
Coffee shops, airports, libraries β public WiFi is easy to find. Combine it with VPN for extra safety.
3. Use Pre-Activated SIM Cardsβ
Order pre-activated SIM cards that donβt require ID.
Example:
π Aktive-Simkarte.de
4. Use eSIMs with Anonymous Sign-Upβ
Purchase anonymous eSIMs paid with crypto.
Example:
π Silent.link β Crypto eSIM
π± Step 3: Create Telegram Without Your Real Numberβ
To stay off the grid, never use your real number on Telegram.
- Visit π SMS-Activate.io
- Buy a temporary number for Telegram
- Register your account and enable 2FA
π§ Step 4: Use Anonymous Email Providersβ
Avoid Gmail or Outlook. Use privacy-focused or throwaway email services:
- π Proton.me β Secure, encrypted
- π GuerrillaMail β Temporary inbox
π³ Step 5: Use No-KYC Virtual Credit Cards (VCCs) with Anonymous Google/Apple Accountsβ
If you want to use Google Pay or Apple Pay anonymously, you'll need:
- A throwaway Google or Apple account (no personal data or KYC)
- A No-KYC virtual credit card (VCC)
- Anonymized network access (VPN, eSIM)
π Get Anonymous Accountsβ
Instead of creating an account manually (which requires a phone number), you can buy ready-made Google/Apple accounts:
- π accsmarket.com
Or create one yourself using a temporary number from:
- π sms-activate.io
π Use a VPN or mobile data (e.g., from silent.link) to avoid linking your IP.
π³ Add Your No-KYC VCCβ
Once your account is set up:
- Log in on your phone
- Go to Google Pay or Apple Pay
- Add your VCC (must support virtual wallets)
- Ensure you're still connected via anonymous IP
π Step 6: Fake Identity for Any Signupsβ
When a site or app asks for your name, address, or DOB, use a fake identity generator:
Never use your real home address. Use a random one far from your location.
π Step 7: Register Everything With Your Anonymous Detailsβ
Each time you create a new account or profile:
- Use your anonymous email
- Use your fake identity
- Never use your real data or phone
π« Step 8: Never Ship Products to Your Real Addressβ
If you're using a no-KYC payment method, avoid ordering physical goods to your real home. Consider:
- Using lockers or drop points
- Buying only digital products or gift cards
