No SIM needed: practical playbook for running US TikTok accounts with $2 Telnyx eSIM

oyacaro · x · 2026-09-02

In a thread about operating TikTok accounts, oyacaro shares hands-on details: TikTok sign-up doesn't need a SIM card and can be done with just email (a clean US number helps, but avoid one-time OTP services); a proxy removes any need for mobile data. If a SIM is truly required, a $2 US eSIM from Telnyx works for activation — though it can't receive SMS right now — so you can add a Telnyx number ($1 setup, $1/month) purely for receiving OTPs, which the author says has worked for every service.
