Why We Started

We started selling USA SIM cards more than 10 years ago, first through eBay, after learning how expensive international roaming could be for Australians travelling to America.

On a trip to the USA in 2010, we had an iPhone 4 and were too nervous to turn it on. Back then, using mobile data overseas with Telstra, Optus or Vodafone could lead to huge roaming charges. Many travellers came home to phone bills worth thousands of dollars.

We went into AT&T and T-Mobile stores in the USA hoping to buy a prepaid SIM card, but it was not simple. We were told our Australian phone might not work. We were told we might need a US social security number. We were told we might need a contract. One staff member even told us the US cell towers could fry an Australian phone.

Before our next USA trip, we did the research ourselves. We found the right contacts, worked out how to buy USA SIM cards wholesale, and started setting them up for our own travel companions before they left Australia.

They landed in the USA with mobile data, calls and texts ready to go. No roaming shock. No confusing store visit after a long flight. No guessing which plan to buy.

That is why we created usaprepaidsimcard.com.au.

Our goal is simple: help Australians stay connected in the USA with reliable USA eSIM and SIM card options before they leave home.

From 1GB of 3G Data to Modern USA eSIMs

The website has changed a lot since the early days. At first, the largest data plan we could offer was 1GB of 3G data.

Today, our USA travel SIM and eSIM plans include fast 5G and 4G data, real T-Mobile or AT&T service, and a real USA mobile number.

We now offer eSIM on our plans, along with physical SIM cards for travellers who prefer a traditional SIM or have a phone that does not support eSIM.

Whether you are travelling to the USA for a holiday, business trip, family visit, cruise, conference or road trip, we want your phone to work when you arrive.

Use maps. Book Uber. Call hotels. Receive texts. Stay in touch. Travel like a local, without relying on expensive international roaming.

I purchased four eSIMs from USA Prepaid SIM Card when my family travelled to the USA for a month-long holiday. The setup instructions were easy to follow and it was fantastic to have US phone numbers from the moment we landed. Being able to call and text each other freely, as well as having reliable data to access maps, find restaurants and research the places we were visiting, made travelling so much easier. We split our plans between T-Mobile and AT&T, which worked particularly well when travelling through more remote areas. If one provider had limited coverage, the other would often have a stronger signal. I have already recommended USA Prepaid SIM Card to friends and family travelling to the USA, and I would happily recommend it to anyone looking for an easy-to-set-up, reliable and excellent-value option.

I can highly recommend USAPrePaidSIMCard online support service. After trying all the recommended troubleshooting steps, we reluctantly thought we should try the whatsapp chat line. We should never have doubted them. They immediately identified the issue, provided a resolution and then a timely recommendation as to when to proceed with the fix. Nice work USAPrePaidSIMCard!

Works perfectly! I travel to USA once a year and have used this wonderful SIM card service a couple times now. My phone is older so I need a physical SIM. It always arrives promptly in the mail, super easy to activate and works faultlessly in the US! Also great value for money. Cant recommend them enough.

Just returned from the USA, used the eSim. Landed in Dallas, connected to the free Wifi and the eSim was loaded in my phone as per the instructions. I was in Dallas, Fort Worth, Nashville, Las Vegas & LA. Always had great connection, even in rural Tennessee. Connected to T-Mobile and on the iphone with UC connection, googled what it was it is the Ultra Connection from T-Mobile. The fastest I have ever seen the iPhone work. Just used it to call everyone using Whats App, happy to have my normal sim turned off and not paying roaming fees. Highly recommend this USA eSim. You can't go wrong

Forget Roaming Was a seamless experience. First time I’ve ever used an eSIM and it was so convenient. So much better than roaming.

Great product and customer service Highly recommended! This is my second time buying a USA eSIM here and both times I received excellent customer service plus easy set up and use of my eSIM. Very quick to respond to my questions and eSIM worked well with no issues.
