How to Get Your eSIM

  1. Choose Your Regional Plan
    Select a data package based on your trip length across the US and Canada. A 2-week road trip from Seattle to Calgary needs more data than a 3-day Toronto business trip.
  2. Complete Your Purchase
    Check out in under 2 minutes. Your eSIM QR code arrives instantly by email — no shipping, no waiting, no store visits.
  3. Install Before Departure
    Scan the QR code at home while still on Wi-Fi. Your phone stores the eSIM profile, ready to activate when you arrive in either country.
  4. Land and Enable Data
    Touch down in Los Angeles, Vancouver, or any other covered city. Toggle on your eSIM data line in settings — you're online within seconds.
  5. Cross Borders Freely
    Drive from Buffalo to Niagara Falls, Ontario without touching your phone settings. The eSIM connects to local networks automatically in both countries.

Traveler Tips

  • At the US-Canada border crossings like Peace Arch (Washington-BC) or Rainbow Bridge (New York-Ontario), your eSIM switches networks automatically — no manual changes needed while you clear customs.
  • Keep your home SIM in dual-SIM mode: incoming calls reach your regular number, and you can make voice calls via WhatsApp or FaceTime over eSIM data to avoid roaming charges.
  • Download offline maps for Banff, Yellowstone, and other national parks where cell coverage drops — your data balance stretches further when you preload routes.
  • The Google Maps and Waze apps work across both countries with real-time traffic; download them before crossing from Detroit into Windsor or vice versa.
  • Monitor your data usage through your phone's settings; a 14-day trip covering both New York City and Montreal averages 5-8 GB for moderate use including navigation and social media.
  • Set your eSIM as the default data line and your home SIM for voice only — this configuration takes 30 seconds in iOS or Android settings.

Why Data Matters Across North America

Traveling across North America means navigating two of the world's largest countries with different carrier networks and coverage zones. Reliable mobile data transforms your trip from stressful to straightforward.

In the United States, you'll want data for booking Uber rides from LAX, checking wait times at Disneyland via the official app, or navigating the winding roads of Yellowstone National Park. Cross into Canada, and your needs shift to translating French menus in Montreal, finding the best poutine spots on Yelp in Quebec City, or streaming hockey highlights from Rogers Centre in Toronto.

Video calls home, real-time translation apps, mobile boarding passes for Air Canada and United flights, contactless payments at Tim Hortons and Starbucks — all demand consistent data. One eSIMno plans for North America covers both countries, so you upload Grand Canyon photos and Banff National Park reels without worrying about which side of the border you're on.

Data-Hungry Activities

Streaming directions through the Rocky Mountains consumes roughly 50 MB per hour. A 15-minute FaceTime call uses about 200 MB. Posting 10 high-resolution photos to Instagram takes around 100 MB. Factor these into your plan selection — see the options below to match your itinerary.

Top Countries in North America

Your North America eSIM covers two countries that together span six time zones and offer everything from desert canyons to Arctic tundra.

United States

The United States delivers road trip legends: Route 66 from Chicago to Santa Monica, the Pacific Coast Highway hugging California's cliffs, and the Blue Ridge Parkway winding through Appalachia. Stream navigation through Death Valley, upload sunset shots from the Grand Canyon rim, and video-call from a Vegas hotel — your data works across all 50 states.

Canada

Canada matches its southern neighbor in scale and surpasses it in wilderness density. The Trans-Canada Highway stretches 7,821 kilometers from St. John's to Victoria. Use your eSIM data to book campsites in Jasper, check whale-watching schedules in Tofino, or translate French signage as you explore Old Montreal.

Together, these two countries form the core of North American travel. One eSIM, no border hassle, no second SIM purchase.

Getting Around North America

North America rewards travelers who embrace its scale. The continent connects by air, road, and rail — each mode offering distinct perspectives.

Cross-Border Flights

Direct flights link major hubs in under 5 hours. Toronto to Los Angeles takes 4 hours 45 minutes; Vancouver to New York runs about 5 hours. Budget carriers like Flair (Canada) and Frontier (US) operate select cross-border routes, while Air Canada and United dominate the premium market.

Road Trips

The US-Canada border has 119 land crossings. Popular driving routes include the Pacific crossing at Peace Arch (Interstate 5 to Highway 99), the Niagara frontier via Rainbow Bridge, and the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel. Rental cars picked up in one country can sometimes be dropped in the other — confirm cross-border policies when booking.

Amtrak and VIA Rail

The Amtrak Cascades runs daily between Seattle and Vancouver in 4 hours, following the Pacific coastline. The Maple Leaf route connects New York City to Toronto in 12 hours via Niagara Falls — a scenic alternative to flying. VIA Rail's Canadian spans Toronto to Vancouver in 4 days for those chasing the classic transcontinental experience.

Bus Networks

FlixBus and Greyhound operate cross-border routes on the East Coast and Pacific corridors. A bus from Montreal to New York takes approximately 8 hours; Seattle to Vancouver runs under 4 hours including border inspection.
