[Quick Guide] Target US on Tiktok with working eSIM

SigmaMale said:
Hey everybody, I was away for 2 months due to personal reasons but now I'm back with a small gift for yall.
99% of you want to target USA on Tiktok. To do so, as we all know a SIM is pretty much mandatory. Now a lot of people either don't want to pay that much for a SIM card or they don't want to wait for delivery (in some parts of the world it can take 2 weeks to deliver a package from the USA).
Well you can pretty much skip the wait by using a US eSIM. Most of you guys probably already tried all the eSIMs you could find on Google like Holafly, Airalo etc. I did that too but guess what, those SIMs even tho they said they are "US eSIMs" still had country codes from Europe and I was hitting only French, Dutch or British For Yous.
Then I found out that the problem is that these eSIMs didn't have a US number binded to them because they were all DATA eSims not VOICE eSims.

Anyway, you can use Tello.com to get a US eSIM along with a US number, make sure you select this plan with No data and 100 minutes because it costs only 5$
Don't worry about the 5$/month plan, you can just cancel the plan and your eSIM will still be installed on your phone, Tiktok doesn't care that your plan expired or is canceled.

Also if you have an iPhone, when you factory reset it, Apple will give you the choice to save the eSIM, so basically it will still be installed even after you factory reset. I don't know if this function exists on Android but if you factory reset it you can generate a new QR code for the eSIM installation in your Tello dashboard.

Another alternative is https://www.usmobile.com/ where they offer a trial but the site is a bit bugged at the part where they check your IMEI, it's gonna say a couple of times that your phone is not supported, just keep trying till it works or use https://www.fakepersongenerator.com/imei-generator#imei-apple to get some random IMEIs (some work some don't just keep trying)

Enjoy targeting USA!
Now this alone might not be enough if you do aggresive methods like CPA, it's a basic start.

Check if your device is compatible with an eSIM:

What if the phone is not compatible? I checked 2 phones so far and they are not compatible

Yeah but I still get views from my old account. But how I got shadowbanned I never used a vpn and proxy. Just my esim.
Should I buy a new phone and get a physical sim or esim?

you should prolly buy a new phone or try one for 30 days and do the esim + google acc + maybe nordvpn just to be extra sure. Once ur in, see the livestreams if they're from the US. You'll know for sure then.
 
Am I right about the below? Please correct me if wrong. Or if they are conditional, tell me what the condition is.

Download requirements (for TikTok from App store):
(0) Make sure your phone has not been (shadow)banned before by TikTok, always factory reset a second-hand phone to be sure.
(1) Use any cheap/free VPN with IP=US.
(2) Use (e-)SIM from US. >> is this also needed for downloading? this is unclear! <<
(3) Use AppleID with country&timezone&appstore=US
(4) more?

Usage requirements for creating a NEW US-targeted TikTok account:
(0) Make sure the above Download requirements are met
(1) NEVER use any cheap/free VPN, or get (shadow)banned). Use your home internet (or expensive/undetectable VPN) with IP=anything (incl. non-US).
(2) Use (e-)SIM from US.
(3) Use AppleID with country&timezone&appstore=US >> is this also needed AFTER downloading? this is unclear! <<
(4) Use google sign-up to keep mobile number empty, or otherwise buy cheap US cloud number for SMS verification.
(5) more?

Usage requirements for US-targeting an EXISTING non-US-targeted TikTok account:
(0) Make sure the above Download requirements are met
(1) NEVER use any cheap/free VPN, or get (shadow)banned). Use your home internet (or expensive/undetectable VPN) with IP=anything (incl. non-US). >> or maybe here we'd need IP=US, because we are re-targeting an existing account? <<
(2) Use (e-)SIM from US.
(3) Use AppleID with country&timezone&appstore=US >> is this also needed AFTER downloading? this is unclear! <<
(4) If the account has mobile number filled out, change it to US (buy cheap US cloud number for SMS verification).
(5) more?

What is your experience? Are the requirements for NEW & EXISTING the same?
 
I just tried creating new TikTok accounts on an iPhone15, and the results are...

After downloading under these conditions:
(1) Used NordVPN with IP=US (New York)
(2) Used e-SIM from US (& no other SIMs in the phone)
(3) Used AppleID with country&timezone&appstore=US. (Settings/date&time/timezone & settings/language&region/region, no payment method, billing address of apple-id on New York, US.)
(but I used a phone which was originally/first installed with a European apple-ID)

after downloading i kept these conditions
(2) Used e-SIM from US (& no other SIMs in the phone)
(3) Used AppleID with country&timezone&appstore=US (Settings/date&time/timezone & settings/language&region/region, no payment method, billing address of apple-id on New York, US.)

Did quick check: If i start Tiktok and do sign-up with mobile number, it shows +1, so it detects the e-SIM.

Then created 2 TikTok accounts with sign-up via google as test:

TEST ACCOUNT1 with home internet (a European IP) & gmail1:
- I unfortunately see 25% videos in the feed are from my European country. LOCATION NOT FULLY CHANGED, but at least its only 25%, without the e-SIM this would have been at least 75% maybe? (just guessing this 75%, didnt check).
- If i upload a sexy girl video, i get towards 100 views quite quickly. I am not shadowbanned.

then being scared from the 20-25% videos in the feed from my European country: I deleted the tiktok account, killed TikTok, removed TikTok, restarted the phone, reinstalled TikTok from app store (with NordVPN=US again), and did next test:

TEST ACCOUNT2 with NordVPN=US (New York) & gmail2:
- In the feed: I get 20% videos directly targeting New York. I get 60% videos from other US cities, I get 20% chinese/arabic weird stuff. Overall this seems good, since I don't get anything from my European country in the feed.
- If i upload a (different but similarly sexy) sexy girl video: i get 0 views. SHADOWBANNED.

What do you guy think?
- Do you get a shadowban so quick/instantly due to NordVPN on test2 (just uploading 1 video on a new account)? Would I have avoided this shadow ban if I used some mobile proxy of around 150-200 USD/month? (because thats what these are going to cost right?) Is the only thing missing this expensive mobile proxy? Or did test2 go wrong for other reasons?
- Deleting a "NOT-shadowbanned" test1 account and then creating another account should not result in shadowban itself right? The only thing that can be wrong is that my IP location changed from Europe to US in a small amount of time, in which my phone cannot fly to the US in an airplane at that speed.
- Did Test1 (on home internet) go wrong because the phone has been originally/first installed on a European Apple-ID? Or will it happen regardless?
- And P.S. I did: settings/tiktok/location=Never for all tests. So I did not share my European GPS location with TikTok. What about this? Can you get away with location=never without a shadowban from TikTok? Because if I also need to change my GPS location, then the only way would be jailbreaking the iPhone right? Or can you just show the real European location and TikTok wont use it? I dont think so?

P.S. About mobile proxies of around 150-200 USD/month, as that might be the only piece I'm missing > Do you guys have a good tip for something that is cheaper?
(Need enough GB to upload 5 new videos per day = 150 new videos per month. So lets say if they are 0.5GB each, then its 2.5 GB/day & 75 GB/month)
 
Fuck, I just found out about something else, using the account of TEST2 with NordVPN=United States :

tiktok app>settings&privacy>accounts>user information
has 3 sub menus:
>Phone number (left it empty since I used google sign-up, its shows +1 as default if I click it)
>Email (to verify email, which I verified)
>Account region (=UNFORTUNATELY STILL on my European country SOMEHOW!!!)

If I click account region, I can select another country, and if I choose United States, I get this response screen from Tiktok:
-----
Cannot update region
To update account region, you need to meet the following requirements:
- You have been in the United States for at least 90 days.
-----
(same response for any other country I try. For example: "You have been in Puerto for at least 90 days". )
 
Very interesting test @SkyHigh007

You can do further testing by compeltely reset your iPhone first and connect with US proxy only and use a fresh email to register.

There are good mobile proxy sellers which would cost you $60-80 per month.
But before that you can try with a Static Residential proxy first

I had done similar tests few weeks ago. I could do some tests too.

I am using iPhone aswell , physical SIM. Without any proxies or VPN's. Using home wifi (EU). As long as beforehand you changed the settings to US , Timezones , specific time etc. - You are golden. Hitting 90% US , and the other 10% divided to Canada , UK and Australia. Even after changing accounts and TikTok hitting me with the notification - somebody logged in your account from (my EU country) I still get the same reach to US country. And as a test , I logged in to some old accounts , and I managed to hit US aswell. So , don't overthink , don't buy some proxies for 200$ per month. Also VPN use is a reach. I guess mostly people mention VPN , because they heard some fake YT gurus , who hasn't even tried this , but speak on it , as they get juicy affiliate commissions from VPN. Also , I saw one guy talking and providing proof , that there is code lines , that detects VPN , which will most likely mess up your account or even device moving forward with this.

I was providing such code. If you are using 1 or few accounts, your approach is correct. But not if someone want to make 20-30 accs or more.
Using VPN or proxy is correct, but not in way 99% people are doing it.
 
Does this method only work on iphone or this method work on android too .
