North America is a large continent with many different cultures, languages, and landscapes. It can be difficult to travel from country to country without having the right phone plan. Luckily for you, there are prepaid SIM cards for North America! Or if you going to just USA OR Canada Or Mexico, we have prepaid options for them as well. This post will answer some of your most pressing questions about these international plans - how they work, why you should buy one with EasygoSim, and what types of phones are best to use on them.

What are prepaid SIM cards for North America

A prepaid SIM card to stay connected whilst in USA, Canada, or Mexico without having to pay outrageous roaming fees. There are many different types of these international plans - we will go over the benefits and how you can set up one with us below!

One important thing that makes our service stand out from others on the market is its reliability. As the sim card is from one of the two main carriers in America, they offer coverage in most of the main cities and/or tourist areas.

How do I set up a prepaid SIM card for USA, Canada, or Mexico

The Sim Cards that EasygoSim sells are activated based on the activation date you provide at the time of purchase. This is when your 30 days begin. This is also the date that you can start using your services when you're at the covered destination. All you need to do when you land is insert it into your phone and away you go.

Why should you buy a prepaid SIM card with EasygoSim

One of the main reasons is that you can choose your plan and package before landing in America. This ensures that you purchase a service that will be most suited to your needs. Also, being able to activate the sim before you land means that you can start using your phone the moment you step outside of the airport.

Furthermore, when a sim is activated we can retrieve the phone number from the system. As an option for our customers, if you are travelling for less than 30 days you can look at providing an earlier arrival date when purchasing the sim card, bearing in mind that your 30 days of service will still begin from that date. You can then e-mail us on the activation date you provided requesting your phone number which we can then forward to you.
