When did you try that? I am planning to try esim with proxies, not sure if it is going to work. I found this one https://proxy-sale.com/proxy-usa/ but not even sure if it is legit...so cheap...

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:

can someone please confirm if this method still works? i tried using physical sim and nordvpn before i found this thread and it didnt work at all..

You need to use wifi. Also you will not get signal with that eSim since you are outside of US but it doesn't matter, tiktok only needs to read the eSIM's country code and that's enough.

VPN = instant shadowban.

It should still work but don't use proxies or VPN, you're gonna get shadowbanned immediately. Only use VPN when you download tiktok from the app store, but make sure you turn it off before opening it and only use the eSIM + your home wifi. Also make sure you factory reset your phone before trying this method and use a new tiktok account.

I not have a regular DSL router I use my smartphone as router, so with that in this case I need a prepaid USA Data som card......but this card must come with a USA phone number.....I will do some web search fot prepais USA data cards with US phone number...
Here in europe when you buy a prepaid data card it always comes with a phonenumber, like germany where I live or when you live in spain, with a spain phone number, so a prepaid US sim card must have a US phone number I guess., yep complicated tech today sometimes...ufffff......

You could get a US eSIM or SIM with data but you wouldn't get signal in Europe

CaptainKedah said:

So you've tried different US eSims (including voice ones) and none worked for reaching a US audience?

CaptainKedah said:

Wouldn't it be safer to buy an eSIM with both voice and data, and use that? If I use my local wifi, won't TikTok see I'm posting from my original country and not the US from my IP address?

MR.Spuf said:

Basucally yes. Voice doesn't wlrk at all. I suspect they detexts it and shadow bans it fast.

this is where im also confused. im pretty sure tt knows your in different country other than usa by using your IP, even if your using a us based esim or sim. not sure if they will bann you for this automatically or 'monitor' you more in detail. i guess trial and error is needed? so i guess like others are saying, your device fingerprint also plays a part, not just your IP.

but i also dont know how other people are using proxies on their phones when the tt app bypasses it completely. im currently experimenting with squid proxy(in intercept mode). browser on the phone works normal and going to proxy checkers like ip-check do not detect it but apps on phone is completely diff scenario/story. and i don wan do the root route since i am also pretty sure tt app detects your root and most likely bann you as well?

I'm assuming you also followed OP's advice of resetting the device, I'm thinking OP's advice only works if you already have an aged US account. Can't create a new one with his technique.

Sharing my experience, had an aged US account of 3 weeks, and finally ran it on my spare phone (had factory reset) with a US sim card and a US IP address (just regular VPN). It's been 4 days so far and everything seems good, I'm getting a US audience consistently. No shadowbans so far. I'll post an update for 1 week in.

For the proxy what they recommend is buying a WiFi card/dongle and using your computer (with proxy turned on) as a hotspot for your phone to connect to. This is important because apps can easily see if you've turned on proxy in the phone settings, but the proxy is undetectable when used in hotspot.

Furthermore, you need to make sure that you're using a SOCKS5 proxy (way better than http), and to either use a static residential or 4G/5G proxy (4G/5G is way better but way more expensive) on the computer you're doing the hotspot from.

There's plenty of other things that can help you out when you start, like downloading TT while having a US IP, and making sure you don't do stuff like activating location/GPS or allowing camera permissions (camera can give away your location).

In my case, I already have a warmed up US account, and I want to use it in my country. Wondering if a regular SIM/eSIM on a factory-reset phone that has location off will work (I don't know if I want to try this with or without US IP/VPN).
