Visiting North America soon? Make sure to know what to expect when it comes to purchasing a North American SIM card for travelers. In this guide, we’ll explain where to buy a SIM card in North America in person and online. We’ll also discuss prepaid SIM cards and eSIMs if your mobile supports them.
We recommend using a SIM card from T-Mobile, Verizon, or Airalo. (I’ll get back to Airalo later on, so keep reading to learn more!) That said, depending on your first destination, you might find other providers.
If you wish to have your SIM card ready for your arrival, you could purchase it online or on websites like Amazon. You’ll find different plans. For example, Orange Holiday World SIM works in more than 100+ countries and gives you up to 10 GB of data for 14 days.
– 1 GB, valid for 7 days for $4.50 – 2 GB, valid for 15 days for $8 – 3 GB, valid for 30 days for $11 – 5 GB, valid for 30 days for $16 – 10 GB, valid for 30 days for $26 – 20 GB, valid for 30 days for $42
Here’s an overview of the options available in the United States:
The Holafly North America eSIM works in 32 countries, and they offer the following plan: 6 GB for 15 days for $54
Another option worth considering is Nomad. They have a Global eSIM plan which covers all North American countries. – 1 GB, valid for 7 days for $20 – 3 GB, valid for 30 days for $48 – 5 GB, valid for 30 days for $54
As you can see, getting a prepaid SIM card in North America or even an eSIM for North America is pretty easy.
