I'm crossing into Canada — will it work there?

The USA plan covers the USA only. For a cross-border road trip, choose the North America regional eSIM instead — it covers the USA, Canada and Mexico.

Do I get a US phone number?

No — this is a data eSIM. Calls run over WhatsApp, FaceTime and similar apps, and you keep your home number for messages.

Does the USA eSIM work across North America?

It covers USA only. Road-tripping across the border? The North America regional eSIM covers the USA, Canada and Mexico — plus Central America — on one plan.

Will my eSIM work as soon as I land in USA?

Yes — install it at home on Wi-Fi before you fly, then switch the line on when you land. It joins a partner network in USA automatically, usually before you reach baggage claim. Your days only start counting at that first connection.

Do I keep my own number and WhatsApp in USA?

Yes. This is a data-only eSIM that runs alongside your home SIM. Your number stays active for calls and texts, and WhatsApp keeps working on your usual number the whole trip.

When do my days start counting?

Only when the eSIM first connects to a network in USA — not when you buy or install it. Buying ahead of your trip is completely safe.

Good to know

US carriers have retired most 3G — an eSIM on a modern 4G/5G network is the reliable option for visitors.

The USA eSIM guide.

The USA is a big place to stay connected in — road trips cross carrier boundaries, cities lean hard on data for rides and reservations, and hotel Wi-Fi is rarely as good as the lobby promises. A prepaid travel eSIM gives you one clear price for the whole trip, on modern 4G/5G networks, without touching your home SIM.

How it works on the day

Buy before you fly, scan the QR at home on Wi-Fi, then switch the line on when you land. Domestic flights and state lines change nothing — it's one national plan from coast to coast.

Choosing your days

Any trip length works: a 5-day city break runs at the standard day rate, while a 15–30 day coast-to-coast road trip automatically earns the lower long-trip rate.

Your eSIM joins USA's partner networks automatically — no settings to choose, no manual network hunting. If signal drops in a remote spot, toggling Airplane Mode for a few seconds forces a fresh connection.

Final carrier names are confirmed at checkout — pending network agreements.
