USA & Canada Travel eSIMs
Travelling to the USA or Canada and need reliable phone and data access while you’re away? If you’ve got an eSIM-compatible phone, you’re in the right place. Enjoy the convenience of purchasing a local T-Mobile USA eSIM or an AT&T North America eSIM before you fly. Avoid expensive roaming fees and skip the hassle of finding a SIM store while jet lagged. With your eSIM already organised, you can install it on arrival and connect instantly at the airport, just like a local.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which USA & Canada eSIM should I purchase, T-Mobile or AT&T?
We recommend the T-Mobile USA eSIM if you’re travelling solely within the United States or spending most of your time there. An optional Canada and Mexico roaming add-on is available if your trip includes short visits across the border. T-Mobile offers strong coverage throughout the USA and is one of the leading networks for 5G in supported areas. Our T-Mobile USA eSIMs include unlimited data and a US mobile number for calls and texts.
The AT&T North America eSIM is better suited if your travels include Canada, Alaska or Mexico. AT&T offers larger data allowances for Canada, where mobile data can be more expensive. Purchasing an AT&T eSIM before departure helps you avoid higher local data costs and ensures seamless connectivity across multiple countries. AT&T eSIMs also include a US mobile number for calls and texts.
Who should buy a USA & Canada eSIM?
USA and Canada eSIMs are suitable for all types of travellers, including holidaymakers, business travellers, students and those visiting friends or family. We offer options for short stays as well as longer trips. If you’re travelling for more than 30 days, both T-Mobile and AT&T eSIMs can be recharged to extend your usage.
How do I keep in touch with family and friends back home?
Our T-Mobile USA eSIM can be paired with an international calling pack, allowing calls to Australian landlines and texts to Australian mobile numbers. This is useful if you need to contact your Australian bank or stay in touch with family while overseas.
Our AT&T North America eSIM includes free unlimited text messaging back to Australia.
You can also use internet-based calling apps such as WhatsApp, Skype, Viber, Line or WeChat to call and message home using your data allowance.
Can I purchase a USA & Canada eSIM if I’m already overseas?
Yes, you can. eSIMs are delivered by email after purchase, so we can send them to you no matter where you’re located. As long as you have an internet connection and an eSIM-compatible device, you can purchase and install your eSIM while already in the USA or Canada.
When should I purchase a USA & Canada eSIM?
Your eSIM is only activated on the start date you nominate, so you can purchase it in advance without worrying about it expiring. Ordering early ensures everything is ready before you travel and removes the need to organise connectivity after you arrive.
