So to be safe with my business. I get a t mobile and pay 60 euros per month and keep it active. I think it’s the best. Because if i create a Greece account and then change SIM it may be a mess etc. And if i need to recieve text or get a new phone i may lose the business. Thanks

My account is registered under my regional SIM card, while I’m using a foreign one. It’s been this way since April 2020, and I haven’t had issues with it so far. If there was an issue, I’d be suspended by now.
But yeah, getting a plan with the foreign card and keeping it active would be a safer option.
Also i thought about something smart. Starting an account with regional card. Then insert the inactive. And whenever i need to verify the account or login, i will just use my regional for the SMS etc. I am just a bit worried that if i don’t create the account From the start with the foreign card it may get shadowbanned or something. Because as you see some guys said they get 0 views on every post.

Hi, so I got a US lyca SIM. My feed seems to be US but my video was pushed out to random states Australia, Uzbekizstan and US only on 4th place or so. I am using US SIM+Wifi. Anybody experienced something similar?
Oh. I am researching about Tik tok. I think you need to get some guide basic.
Can u please specify the SIM card you got and if it was unactivated or pre paid? I wanna get the same exact one if u have a link that would help too
Hi nik
I’m trying to expand my tik tok exposure to us market as well. I’m planning to buy a US sim card but having issue on activating it as I’m not physically in USA. Does the sim card need to be activated it in US only tik tok will recognise your region in US?
Thanks for your help. Appreciate if others have answer on this question too.
Thanks
yes i think so i’m not 100% sure but yeah most likely, becasue if not then the country won’t matter and everyone can get usa sim card, but let see what Nik will say about this.
Hey! I can help you with this!
It does not even need to be activated AT ALL.
The Sim Origin is saved locally on the SIM Card and that is what Tiktok is looking at.
You can even buy Sims from 10 different countries, change them every Video and every Video will get exposure of the foryou page of the country the sim is from. I have tested this on one phone that I only use for posting. It does work on new and old accounts.
So if you log into an older account and post with that phone it will get you exposure from the Sim Cards origin country.
Hi derdam
Thanks a lot ! Been waiting confirmation from others. So just plug in a new sim card without activation is good enough to detect your origin base on the sim card type?
Thanks for your advise derdam

I use a VPN as well tbh. But with the sim card without activiation is works!
thanks fo the info man I did not know that, so Tiktok is not that strict after all
Hello. I have a question. If I install a local eSIM on my phone and then insert an unactivated US SIM card will the eSIM interfere with where my posts go to when I post them on TikTok? Or will they go to the US audience?
I don’t have a dual SIM phone right now and would like to avoid buying one if possible, hence the question. Thanks in advance for any answers I might get.
basically, it only matters which sim you use the moment you post the tiktok. if you have the us sim on, your target audience will be the us. after posting u can switch the cards, but id advice you to wait a few minutes before switching.

Sometimes I insert the foreign SIM card, restart the app, and while it’s the desired country, I switch back to my local SIM card without closing the app. Also works and helps if you need to use your mobile data.
Peeps, I was wondering something. Does an eSIM from the US also work like the standard SIM? 
I would remove my regional SIM card and then just use the US eSIMs data to upload the TT from my drafts. Would that also work? Did someone try that maybe?
Would also hear fellow @Nik opinion on this.
Hey Nik!! I need help. Basically what I did was the No Sin Card + VPN method cause a YouTube tutorial recommended it in order to reach US audience. Now that I’ve taken a look at the chat I’m really scared because I used a T-Mobile card with my home WIFI but my video has only 1 view and 1 like and it’s from a follower from my home country. Idk if I got shadow banned or what I should do and I really don’t want to lose my account. Do you think that maybe I should just wait a while and keep on posting with my us SIM card and wifi or should I make a new account? Thank you so much for this thread!!!

Hey do you still have the same problem???
I’d let it rest for a few days, up to a week or two. You can follow accounts and interact with them, but I wouldn’t recommend posting new content. Then try again without using VPN.
