Does the USA SIM or eSIM include a US mobile number?

Yes. Both our physical SIMs and eSIMs include a real US mobile number so you can make and receive calls, send texts and be reachable by hotels, restaurants, rideshare drivers and local contacts while you’re in the United States.

Which network will my USA SIM or eSIM use?

Your service connects to T-Mobile USA for reliable coverage across major cities, towns and many regional areas.

Will my plan work in Canada or Mexico?

Selected plans include roaming in Canada and Mexico with data, calls and texts available while travelling across North America. Check your chosen plan’s inclusions before you buy.

When will I receive my SIM or eSIM?

eSIMs are delivered instantly via email with a QR code for setup. Physical SIM orders ship from Sydney, Australia with standard or express delivery options at checkout.

Can I keep my Australian SIM active for banking codes?

Yes. On dual-SIM/eSIM phones you can keep your Australian line active to receive verification texts from banks and services while using the USA eSIM for data, calls and texts.

Is 5G included and are speeds capped?

5G access is included on compatible devices in 5G-covered areas. We do not artificially cap speeds; real-world performance varies by location, device and network traffic.

Can I use hotspot/tethering?

Hotspot and tethering are available on eligible plans. Tethered speeds may differ from on-device data depending on your plan’s terms.

How do I activate a physical SIM or eSIM?

To activate an eSIM, scan the QR code from your confirmation email and follow the prompts on your phone. To activate a physical SIM, insert it into your device and complete the online activation form to choose your preferred start date before you fly.
