Check your phone works in the US
Most recent phones sold worldwide work on US networks. Some older models, or models made for a single region, may not support every band a US network uses, which can mean weaker coverage. If you have an older or regional phone, check its specifications before you buy. US-bought phones are often locked to their carrier, so ask for an unlock if you bought yours on a contract.
Coverage across a big country
Coverage is usually strong in cities and along highways. It can thin out or drop in remote areas, mountains, some national parks and on long rural drives. Download offline maps before road trips. The plan's Networks line shows which networks it uses.
5G
5G is only available where the plan lists it. Even then, it depends on your phone and where you are. Many areas still run on 4G/LTE, which handles maps, streaming and video calls without trouble.
Data, calls and validity
Most USA plans are data only and don't give you a US number. If you need minutes and SMS, check the Calls + text filter. Most plans start on first use, when the eSIM first connects to a supported network in the US. Check the Activation line on your plan.
Visiting Canada or Mexico as well
A USA plan covers the countries listed on its plan page. If your trip crosses borders, look at regional or global plans and read the country list before you buy.
Paying by card or crypto
eSIMs and eSIM top-ups can be paid by card (Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay, Google Pay), when every item in the cart allows it. On-Chain adds no payment fee (the order summary shows $0.00 for it). Other methods may add 0% to 1%, shown in the order summary. Network fees charged by your own wallet or exchange aren't included. Prices are in US dollars.
Topping up and refunds
Rechargeable plans can get more data from My eSIMs in your account; top-ups need an account. The Refund Policy applies: an eSIM isn't refundable once activated or once any data is used, or if bought for a phone without eSIM support. A defective QR code, or a plan that can't be activated because of an issue on our end, can be refunded.
Frequently asked questions
Can I buy a USA eSIM with Bitcoin?
Yes. Choose On-Chain, select BTC on the Bitcoin network and send the exact amount within 30 minutes. You can also pay with USDT, other coins, exchange pay options, Web3 wallets or a card.
Will my phone work with a US eSIM?
It needs to support eSIM, be unlocked, and support the bands US networks use. Most recent phones do. If your phone is older or a single-region model, check its specifications first.
Do US eSIM plans include 5G?
Only plans that list 5G in their Networks line. 5G coverage in the US varies by area, and outside cities you'll often be on 4G/LTE.
Do I get a US phone number?
Not with a data-only plan. Use the Calls + text filter to check whether plans with minutes and SMS are offered. Your home SIM can stay on for your own number, though roaming charges may apply.
Can I install it before I fly to the US?
Yes, install it at home on Wi-Fi. If the plan starts on first use, the days begin when it first connects in the US. Keep it switched off until you arrive.
