Use a North America eSIM to stay connected in Canada, the United States, and Mexico
While eSIM providers like aloSIM sell eSIM data packages for Canada, the United States, and Mexico, it makes sense to use a more universal eSIM if you’ll be traveling between multiple countries.
So if you’re planning on spending time in Canada, the United States, and Mexico, a North America eSIM will keep you connected in all three countries.
Just install it once, activate it when you’re ready to use it, and you’ll remain connected no matter which side of the border you’re on.
How much travel data do I need in North America?
Whether you’re coming to North America for a long weekend, or spending several weeks (even months) traveling between Canada, the U.S., and Mexico, the amount of data you’ll use will vary.
If you’re going to be sticking close to a solid free Wi-Fi connection, chances are you’ll only need a gig or two in order to keep your regular phone number running (letting you call and text as usual).
But if you’ll be spending a lot of time out sightseeing, you may need a larger data package to stay connected. Luckily, you can always start small and add more data if you need it.
Will I pay roaming charges with a North America eSIM?
Nope, you absolutely won’t pay any roaming charges as long as you’re relying on a local eSIM for data.
(We’ll show you how to change the settings on your device to make sure it can’t try to connect you via your usual data plan.)
