Americanmex Plans
If you're looking for an affordable way to use your cellphone when travelling in North America, you can get a Americanmex eSIM from only US$6.50 for 7 days usage.
To get a Americanmex eSIM, you'll need to have an eSIM-compatible device such as the iPhone 11, Galaxy S20, Pixel 3 or later devices. You can then order your Americanmex eSIM through the Airalo app with instant delivery direct to your phone. There's no need to queue at the airport or to register the Americanmex eSIM with your ID, saving you lots of time.
The following table shows the eSIM plans that are currently available from Americanmex in North America:
Plan | Data | Plan Cost | |
---|---|---|---|
| 1GB data | US$6.50 7 days validity | See deal |
| 2GB data | US$12.00 15 days validity | See deal |
| 3GB data | US$17.00 30 days validity | See deal |

Once you've ordered your Americanmex eSIM, it will only activate when your cellphone actually connects to a supported network in North America. This means the validity period will only begin when you actually land in North America and turn your cellphone on.
Your Americanmex eSIM works with the dual-SIM function on most modern smartphones. This means you can use your regular SIM card alongside the Americanmex eSIM (e.g. to receive incoming phone calls and text messages on your normal phone number).
Americanmex eSIM Destinations
Your Americanmex eSIM from Airalo can be used in the following 3 countries:
- Canada
- Mexico
- United States
Alternatives to Americanmex
The main disadvantage of Americanmex is the fact you're getting a data-only service on the eSIM. You will not get a local phone number in North America when you're using the Americanmex eSIM in your phone.
If you'd like to call or text whilst you're travelling in North America, you'll need to use your normal SIM card instead (on which international roaming fees may apply). Alternatively, you can side-step these charges by making your calls through WhatsApp or other similar apps.
If you're looking for a more fully featured SIM card with a local phone number in North America, you could consider getting a regular prepaid SIM card upon arrival instead. This will involve some additional hassle (e.g. queuing up at the airport to get your SIM card, a registration process for the SIM card, etc) but it can be preferable and better suited for longer-term use in North America.
Americanmex Coverage
If you're using a Americanmex eSIM, you'll have access to coverage from the partner mobile networks from across North America:
Country | Coverage Provider | Network Type |
---|---|---|
Canada | Bell | 4G & 5G |
Canada | Telus | 4G & 5G |
Canada | Rogers | 4G |
Mexico | Movistar | 4G |
Mexico | Telcel | 4G |
United States | T-Mobile | 4G & 5G |
United States | Verizon | 4G & 5G |
If you're only planning to visit one country on your trip, it may be cheaper to get a country-specific eSIM instead. This will normally be available at a slightly lower price than the Americanmex eSIM.
