Frequently asked questions

How do I know if my phone is compatible with a US eSIM?

Your phone must be carrier-unlocked and support eSIM technology, which includes most iPhones released after 2018 and recent flagship Android devices. You can verify compatibility by checking if your device settings include an "Add eSIM" or "Add Cellular Plan" option. If your phone was purchased from a carrier on a contract, ensure it is fully unlocked before traveling to the United States.

How much data do I need for my trip to the United States?

For standard travel activities like using Google Maps, social media, and web browsing, 1GB to 2GB per day is usually sufficient. If you plan to stream high-definition videos, use mobile hotspots, or work remotely, consider a larger 10GB to 20GB package or an unlimited plan. You can easily top up additional data online at any time if you run low.

When should I install my US eSIM?

We recommend installing your eSIM a day before your flight while connected to a stable home Wi-Fi network. Keep the eSIM line turned off until you land in the United States, then activate it in your settings upon arrival. This ensures immediate mobile data access as soon as your flight touches down.

Will WhatsApp, Instagram, and iMessage still work with a US eSIM?
Yes

all your existing messaging apps, including WhatsApp, Instagram, and iMessage, will continue working without any interruption. The travel eSIM only provides internet data, so your accounts remain linked to your original phone number. You can chat, post, and video call just as you normally do at home.

Does the US eSIM come with a local phone number for calls and texts?

Most travel eSIMs for the US are data-only plans and do not include a local phone number or traditional cellular voice and SMS services. However, you can easily make calls and send messages using VoIP apps like WhatsApp, Skype, FaceTime, or Viber. If you need to dial local US numbers, data-based calling apps work seamlessly over the eSIM connection.

What should I do if my eSIM data is not working when I arrive in the US?

First, verify that your eSIM line is selected for Mobile Data and that Data Roaming is turned on for that line in your phone settings. Toggling Airplane Mode on and off or restarting your phone often forces the device to connect to local US networks like AT&T or T-Mobile. If you still have trouble, reach out to our 24/7 customer support via Wi-Fi for quick troubleshooting.

How does the price of a US eSIM compare to standard international roaming?

Using a prepaid travel eSIM is significantly cheaper than traditional international roaming, which can cost $10 to $15 per day through your home carrier. eSIM plans offer flat, upfront pricing for fixed data amounts, preventing unexpected bill shock when you return home. Travelers typically save up to 80% on data costs by switching to a local US eSIM connection.
