What a North America eSIM costs
The cheapest published plan on the North America travel eSIM is $5.50 for 1 GB valid 7 days. The fixed buckets: 2 GB over 15 days $9.45, 3 GB over 30 days $13.50, 5 GB over 30 days $20.40, 10 GB over 30 days $31.45, and 50 GB at $80.00 for 7 days, $86.00 for 15 days and $89.00 for 30 days. Unlimited runs from $16.65 for 3 days, $24.65 for 5 days, $31.45 for 7 days, $40.80 for 10 days, $60.50 for 15 days and $97.50 for 30 days. One thing to know before you buy: the page lists three of these tiers twice at different prices, so 5 GB over 30 days appears at both $20.40 and $24.00, 10 GB over 30 days at $31.45 and $37.00, and unlimited 30 days at $97.50 and $98.00. The cheaper figure is quoted here, and it is the one to pick at checkout.
Which countries does it cover
Three: Canada, Mexico and the United States, under the coverage codes CA, MX and US. That combination is the reason to buy this product rather than a US-only eSIM, because a road trip from Vancouver to California, or a winter between Toronto and Cancún, stays on one plan. It does not reach the Caribbean or South America, so a stop in the Bahamas or a hop to Brazil needs its own plan. The product page names T-Mobile as the network and 5G as the speed.
How much data you actually need
Maps, chat and bookings sit inside 1 GB for a short stay, provided you save your maps offline. A week of city travel with daily uploads is 3 GB to 5 GB, and a two week trip with hotspot use for a laptop is 10 GB. North American hotels and cafes usually have usable Wi-Fi, so the larger buckets are mainly about driving days, hotspotting and video. If your trip is mostly a long drive with navigation and music, the unlimited tier over 7 days at $31.45 costs the same as 10 GB over 30 days and removes the counting.
Unlimited data
Unlimited is sold on the same product page from $16.65 for 3 days up to $97.50 for 30 days. Compare them against the buckets before buying: 10 GB over 30 days is $31.45, which is the same money as 7 days of unlimited, and 50 GB over 30 days is $89.00, which is cheaper than 30 days of unlimited at $97.50 and comes with a defined allowance. Unlimited still sits under a Fair Usage Policy, so a hotspot left running all day is exactly what gets slowed.
Dual SIM
Keep your home SIM for calls and bank texts. Turn on data roaming only for the North America line. iPhone: Settings, Mobile Data, pick the travel line. Android: Settings, Network, SIMs, set mobile data to the travel eSIM. Do this before you leave the airport Wi-Fi.
Before you fly
Install the eSIM on home or hotel Wi-Fi before the flight, because the QR download needs a connection. Long-haul arrivals in Toronto, New York or Mexico City are not the moment to be hunting for a working network, and there is no local shop or passport requirement for this plan. Set the data line before you board so the phone is online the moment you land.
Install
- Buy the plan and open the QR code in the order email while you still have Wi-Fi.
- On the phone, add an eSIM and scan that code. Label the line “North America”.
- After landing, set mobile data to that line and leave your home number on for texts.
Phone compatibility
The phone must be carrier-unlocked and eSIM-capable. iPhone XS and later, and recent Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel models, qualify. A locked handset will not take the QR code. Check the lock status with your home carrier before you pay.
FAQ
Q1: How much is the cheapest North America eSIM?
$5.50 for 1 GB, valid 7 days, on the T-Mobile plan.
Q2: Which countries are covered?
Canada, Mexico and the United States. The Caribbean and South America are not included.
Q3: Which operator is on the plan?
T-Mobile, with 5G published on the product page.
Q4: Does it include calls and SMS?
No. It is a data plan, with voice calls only through apps such as WhatsApp or FaceTime. Keep your home SIM for calls and one-time passwords.
Q5: Why are some plans listed twice at different prices?
The product page carries duplicate listings for 5 GB, 10 GB and unlimited over 30 days. Take the cheaper of the two at checkout.
Q6: Is there a 40 day unlimited plan?
A 40 day unlimited tier is listed at $99.00 but it is out of stock, so it cannot be bought at the moment.
Q7: Which plan is the best value?
For a data-only trip, 10 GB over 30 days at $31.45. If you want unlimited, 7 days at $31.45 costs the same as the 10 GB bucket.
Q8: Can I share it as a hotspot?
Yes, within the data allowance. Hotspot traffic counts against the same gigabytes, and heavy sharing can hit the Fair Usage Policy.
Q9: Can I install it after I land?
Yes, if you can reach Wi-Fi. Installing before the flight is simpler, because the QR download needs a connection.
Q10: When were these prices checked?
October 2026, against the published variation prices on travelydata.com.
Bottom line
Buy this plan if your trip touches more than one of Canada, Mexico and the United States, because one eSIM covering all three is simpler than buying two. The $5.50 entry plan is fine for a long weekend, 10 GB over 30 days at $31.45 is the sensible middle, and 50 GB over 30 days at $89.00 is the big bucket. The network is T-Mobile with 5G, there is no roaming between the three countries, and the Caribbean is not covered.
