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.
