How does Simbye eSIM work for North America?
Pick a plan and buy it
Choose the amount of data that fits your route. Right after the purchase you get an email with a link and a QR code.
Set it up before you fly
Install the eSIM at home on Wi-Fi. After landing at New York (JFK), Los Angeles (LAX), Toronto (YYZ), Vancouver (YVR), Cancún (CUN) or Mexico City (MEX) there is nothing left to look for.
Turn on data roaming, done
Switch data roaming on for the new line and you are online. The plan starts with the first connection on the ground, and there is nothing to type in by hand.

eSIM or a local SIM card in North America?
For a North America trip the eSIM answers itself: one plan carries you from Canada into the States and on to Mexico, while local cards mean buying and swapping a fresh SIM at every border, leftover data staying behind.

Frequently Asked Questions about North America eSIM
Data, calls, real phone numbers, top-ups and setup — everything you need to know before you buy a Simbye eSIM.
Yes, it works in the USA, Canada and Mexico. An eSIM for North America is a digital SIM card built into your phone. All three countries run on this one plan. After a border crossing your phone simply connects to the next network, with nothing to change and nothing to buy again.
This is a data-only eSIM plan, not a phone plan with a number. Calls over WhatsApp, FaceTime or Zoom run on the data and work normally, and for SMS codes from your bank you still need your usual number.
Yes, a single eSIM is enough for the trip. For the usual routes, the West Coast with Los Angeles, Las Vegas and San Francisco, the East Coast, the Canadian Rockies or Yucatán in Mexico, this one plan covers you.
How much data you need depends on use: maps, messengers and a few photos a day need only a few GB. If you stream video daily or work through the hotspot, plan higher within the 1 to 20 GB range, especially on a road trip with long stretches of navigation.
Yes, you can use the hotspot. You can share the connection with a laptop, a tablet or a travel companion's phone.
No, you don't have to register the eSIM. There is no contract and no registration, and nothing to type in by hand. Only data roaming for the new line has to be switched on.
No, not Puerto Rico or other territories. The list covers the USA, Canada and Mexico. Territories such as Puerto Rico are not on it, so do not count on this eSIM there.
Central America and the Caribbean are not included. Guatemala, Belize, Costa Rica, Panama, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Jamaica and the Bahamas do not run on this plan, so you need a separate solution for them.
Yes, you still need an entry authorisation — that has nothing to do with the eSIM. Depending on your nationality you need an ESTA for the USA and an eTA for a flight to Canada, otherwise a visa. Check what applies to you on the official government sites and apply before departure.
An eSIM for North America starts at 4,95€ - beyond that, which eSIM is best depends on your route. If you cross between the USA, Canada and Mexico, one plan that reconnects at every border beats juggling three local SIMs. Then weigh coverage, data size, how long it runs, and whether you need a local number. This one gives you 1-20 GB across all three countries with hotspot, but no number for calls.
