Buying a US iPhone 18 Pro Max from outside the US, paid in crypto
Short answer: we ship the iPhone 18 Pro Max (256GB) free and tracked to most countries from Utah, USA, and you pay in Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDC, USDT or Solana. It is a US model with eSIM only. There is no physical SIM tray. Before you pay, check that your carrier offers eSIM. Then email us to confirm the model and carrier details. The checklist below covers the rest.
Step 1: Will it work with your carrier?
This is the question that matters most for a buyer abroad. Answer it before you send any crypto.
eSIM only. You can't insert a plastic SIM card. Your mobile carrier has to issue you an eSIM. You usually get it by scanning a QR code, through the carrier's app, or by converting your current line in Settings. Many carriers offer this. Some prepaid and smaller carriers don't. Ask yours directly: "Can you put my number on an eSIM for an iPhone?".
If your carrier cannot issue an eSIM, this phone is the wrong choice for you. Our 30-day money-back guarantee applies, but sending a phone back from abroad costs you return postage. Checking first is cheaper.
Step 2: Understand delivery
- Timing: we ship within 2 business days after your payment confirms. International delivery is typically about 6–10 business days after dispatch. This is an estimate and is not guaranteed. Plan for a couple of weeks. In a few countries, imported phones also have to be registered with a regulator. - Address: use one where someone can receive the parcel, and include a phone number.
Canada buyers: see shipping to Canada. Full shipping details are on shipping & returns.
Step 3: Pay in crypto
Which coin? If you're outside the US, USDC is usually simplest. One USDC is one US dollar, so you don't need to convert the price. Base and Solana fees are small. Bitcoin works too, but send it on-chain only. See pay with USDC and how to pay.
Paying with a card from abroad? VoltVault accepts crypto only. You can buy crypto with your card in a separate app first. MoonPay and Phantom are available in many countries. Cash App is US-only. Each app sets its own fees and identity checks, and what's available depends on your country. The pay-with-card guide walks through each one.
Step 4: When it arrives
Before you set it up, check the phone against the listed condition: open-box, never used. It is not sold as factory-sealed. A USB-C cable is included. Apple doesn't include a power adapter, so use any USB-C charger you already have. Then add your eSIM.
Not what you expected? Email us within 30 days of delivery from the address on your order. If it arrived dead or doesn't match its listed condition, we pay the return shipping. If you just changed your mind, you pay the return postage and still get a full refund. Crypto refunds go back in the same coin to the sending wallet by default. See after you pay.

Common questions
Is the iPhone 18 Pro Max you sell a US model?
Yes. It is a 256GB US model with eSIM only and no physical SIM tray. Ask orders@shopvoltvault.com for the model and carrier details of the unit before you buy.
Will a US eSIM-only iPhone work in my country?
It works where your carrier supports eSIM and the phone's bands cover the carrier's network. Ask your carrier about eSIM for iPhone and compare bands on Apple's specs page before you pay.
Can I pay without a crypto wallet?
You need to send crypto from somewhere. That can be an exchange account or a wallet app. If you have no crypto, buy USDC with a card in a separate app first, then send it to the address shown at checkout. See pay with card.
