How it works

A SIM card, minus the plastic

An eSIM is a digital SIM built into your phone. You download it instead of inserting it — so you can be connected before your plane even lands.

Traveler preparing for a flight
  1. 01

    Before your trip

    Choose and pay

    Select dates and travelers. Your eSIM arrives instantly on screen and by email.

  2. 02

    On Wi-Fi

    Install in one tap

    Tap the install link or scan the QR from another screen. Label the new line ‘USA’.

  3. 03

    On the plane

    Leave airplane mode on

    Your plan waits for a supported US network, so installing early does not waste travel days.

  4. 04

    After landing

    Switch on roaming

    Select USA for mobile data and enable data roaming. Connection usually takes under a minute.
