When travelling across North America, staying connected is essential – whether you're navigating the streets of New York, sharing your experiences on social media, or staying in touch with family and friends. Thankfully, there are a variety of SIM card options available, offering plans that suit different needs, budgets, and travel styles.
Types of North American SIM Cards
In North America, SIM cards can generally be split into two categories:
Local SIM Cards: These SIM cards are provided by major U.S., Canadian, and Mexican telecom companies such as AT&T, Verizon, Telus, Rogers, Telcel, and others. Local SIM cards are ideal if you're staying in the region for an extended period, or if you're travelling throughout North America.
International SIM Cards: Providers like Three UK, Vodafone, and Orange offer SIM cards that work across multiple countries, including North America. These are a great choice if you're planning to travel beyond just the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, providing coverage in dozens of countries around the world.

How to Choose the Best SIM Card for Your Needs
Here are some factors to keep in mind when choosing the right SIM card for your North American travels:
Duration of Stay: If you're only staying for a short period, a prepaid plan is likely the most cost-effective option. For longer stays, a local SIM with a monthly plan might offer better value.
Data Usage: If you're planning to use a lot of data for things like navigation, streaming, or social media, ensure the plan you choose has a sufficient data allowance or offers unlimited data.
Coverage Area: If you’ll be visiting rural areas, choose a provider with strong coverage outside major cities. Verizon and Telus often offer the best coverage in rural areas.
Budget: For those on a tight budget, consider more affordable providers like Mint Mobile, or T-Mobile for reasonable rates without compromising too much on coverage.
International Travel: If your trip includes stops in multiple countries, an international SIM card like Three UK might be your best bet, offering coverage in over 70 countries.

Traveling to a new destination can be both exciting and challenging, especially when you rely on a Travel SIM card to stay connected. There may be times when you insert your Travel SIM into your phone, enable Data Roaming, and find that your phone still shows no signal. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you troubleshoot this issue and get your connection up and running.
Upon arrival at your destination, if your phone shows no signal after inserting your Travel SIM and enabling Data Roaming, the first thing to try is changing your location. Airports can sometimes have poor signal reception due to their structure and the presence of interference.
Action: Move to a different part of the airport or step outside to see if the signal improves.
If changing your location within the airport doesn't help, the next step is to leave the airport premises. Sometimes the signal strength can improve significantly once you're outside.
Action: Once you’ve left the airport, check your phone again to see if the signal appears.
If there is still no signal after leaving the airport, toggling Airplane Mode on and off can sometimes reset your phone’s network settings and help establish a connection.
Action:
Enable Airplane Mode on your phone.
Wait for about 10-15 seconds.
Disable Airplane Mode.
This action forces your phone to search for available networks again, which can often resolve signal issues.
If you have followed the steps above and still have no signal, it may indicate that there is an issue with the activation of your SIM card package.
Action: Contact our customer support team for assistance. There could be a problem with the activation process of your Travel SIM package, and we may need to replace your SIM card.
If your phone does have a signal, it's important to check the details of your Travel SIM package. Upon successful connection, you should receive an SMS with your new phone number and the details of your plan.
Action:
Open your SMS inbox.
Look for a message from your Travel SIM provider.
Verify the phone number and the details of the plan you purchased.
This message will confirm that your SIM card is active and will provide you with essential information about your number and data plan.
Travel SIM cards are designed to make your travel experience smoother by keeping you connected. However, technical issues can sometimes occur. By following the steps above, you can troubleshoot common signal problems and get back online quickly. If these steps do not resolve the issue, our customer support team is ready to help you get a replacement SIM card or further assistance.
Stay connected and enjoy your travels!

You can activate auto-renew on Three UK app or when you buy a Data Pack. If you already auto-renew and want to get this promotion, it’s easy. First, turn off auto-renew and wait for your Data Pack to expire. Then select a promotional Data Pack and reactivate auto-renew.
If you need a Pay As You Go SIM for a mobile device that only uses the internet – i.e. it doesn’t make calls or send texts – like a tablet or a Mobile Broadband hub, then you wouldn’t use a Pay As You Go phone SIM like the ones shown above, you’d need a Pay As You Go Data Only SIM. Take a look at our range of .
Pay As You Go SIMs give you freedom and flexibility, as you only pay for what you use – you’re not tied into a . Pay As You Go phones and SIM users have recently used Data Packs, which give you a fixed amount of data for a fixed price for a month, which you can renew each month. But this isn’t the same as a contract, as you can opt-in and opt-out of your Data Pack each month. Traditional Pay As You Go users use credit, where you add money to your Pay As You Go account, which gets used up as you make calls, send texts, and use data. You can then top up as you go along.
Yes! As long as you’ve activated your Pay As You Go SIM in the UK before you head abroad, you can use your UK allowance in any of our at no extra cost. Activate your SIM by making a call, sending a text, or using your data in the UK before you travel.
There are lots of ways to top up your Pay As You Go SIM. You’ll get the best value by adding a Data Pack and setting up auto-renew. You can do this on the Three app. You can also use the Three app to add traditional credit that you can use as you go along. Alternatively, you can , or you can buy a voucher from a participating retailer, or you can top up by phone: dial free from your Three phone, or if you're using another phone.
Unfortunately, this SIM doesn't come with calls/texts to USA or Australian numbers! We highly recommend using data applications like FaceTime, WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, iMessages, Viber or Skype to make calls and texts in stead. This will use the 10GB of data you have allocated to you.

FAQs
How do I find my number?
This SIM is data-only and therefore does not come with a phone number!
When should I install my eSIM?
You should wait until you land in your destination country before activating your eSIM - it will need to connect to a local network!
When does my eSIM plan start?
Your plan will only start when you land at your destination and connect to a network!
Is it possible to use an eSIM alongside a physical SIM?
Absolutely! If your phone is dual SIM compatible, you can use your eSIM and a physical SIM at the same time. This means you can use one for data and one for calls.
How do I check my balance?
You can check your balance by looking at your phone settings under data usage.
Apple
Settings > Mobile > Scroll to find Current Period Roaming
Android
Settings > Connections > Data Usage > Billing Cycle and data warning > Select the period from the day you started using the SIM to the current day. Save and your data usage will be shown
How do I recharge?
As described on the website, the eSIM is non-rechargeable. The only way around this is to buy multiple eSIMs and swap them out as you go!
I'm having issues making phone calls or text messages
This SIM does not come with calls or texts as it's data-only! You can still receive phone calls or text messages though.
We'd highly recommend using data applications like FaceTime, Whatsapp, Facebook Messenger, Zoom or Google Meet to make calls and texts to Australia or USA. This will work using the data you have allocated to you.
Can I hotspot/tether from my phone?
Yep, you can hotspot/tether from your phone.
How do I know if my device is unlocked?
If you bought your device outright, it's most likely unlocked!
If you're unsure, the best way to find out is to call your Aussie network provider and ask! They'll be able to unlock it for you too. This might incur a fee! 🤔
Coverage: Where will this eSIM work?
China
Hong Kong
Macao
Troubleshooting :
My data isn't working...
Check that you have Data Roaming & Mobile Data turned on in your Settings.
Make sure that you have changed your APN settings to match the following: For iOS devices Name: internet APN: internet User name: [leave this section blank] Password: [leave this section blank] For Android devices Name: internet APN: internet Proxy: [leave this section blank] Port: [leave this section blank] User name: [leave this section blank] Password: [leave this section blank] MCC: 234 MNC: 10 Authentication type: PAP APN Protocal: IPV4 APN Roaming Protocal: IPV4
Restart your phone
If you've been using your eSIM but suddenly your data has stopped working
Sometimes the SIM can stop working. When this happens:
Turn on Airplane Mode for 1 minute
Turn off Airplane Mode - this should reboot the connection!
If your phone says it's connected to LTE or 4G but the data isn't working, try to manually turn off LTE/4G to connect to 4G/3G.
Apple:
Settings > Mobile > Mobile data options > Disable LTE > Restart
Android:
Settings > Connections > Mobile Networks > Network Mode > Switch to 3G/2G > Restart
It might look different depending on your device! If these instructions don't match exactly, explore your settings until you find Network Mode
I've tried everything and it's still not working

In the realm of modern mobile technology, seamless connectivity on smartphones is paramount for staying connected and productive. Access Point Name (APN) settings play a crucial role in ensuring smooth internet access and communication services.
This article aims to provide a detailed overview of APN settings, what is APN settings, why users change them, and step-by-step instructions for changing APN on Android phones. Keep reading to learn more!
An Access Point Name (APN) is a network-specific gateway that allows mobile devices, like smartphones or tablets, to connect to the internet and other services provided by a mobile carrier. It acts as a bridge between the cellular network and the wider internet, facilitating communication between the device and the carrier's infrastructure. Each carrier has its own unique APN settings, which include parameters like authentication methods, IP addresses, and protocols, necessary to establish a secure and proper connection for data transmission, such as browsing, messaging, and app usage.
When you access the internet or use data-dependent services on your smartphone, the device communicates with the carrier's network using the designated APN. This connection allows data to flow back and forth between your device and the internet, enabling you to browse websites, use apps, and send messages.
Users sometimes find the need to change these settings due to various reasons. Here are some of the important reasons why do so:
• Network Troubleshooting: Users may change APN settings in Android to troubleshoot network issues. Modifying the APN can refresh the connection, resolve data connectivity problems, and restore normal internet access.
• Carrier Switching: When users switch to a new mobile carrier, they may need to update the APN settings to align with the new carrier's network requirements, ensuring seamless data usage.
• Roaming: While traveling abroad, users may switch APN settings to enable data roaming. This allows them to access the internet while connected to a foreign carrier's network.
• Internet Speed: Some users experiment with different Android APN settings in search of better internet speeds or reduced latency, potentially improving their overall mobile data experience.
• Unlocking Phone: In some cases, changing APN settings in Android is necessary to unlock a phone for use with carriers other than the original provider.
You might need to change your Access Point Names (APN) setting sometimes in order to get your data working.
It's super simple.
Settings > Mobile > Mobile Data Network > Change Mobile Data APN
Note: It may appear different on other iOS models. Just look around in your Mobile settings!
Note #2: The setting will only pop up if your network provider allows it.
Settings > Connections > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names > Add > Change name and APN
Note: It may appear different on other Android devices. Just look around in your network settings for Access Point Names!
Other devices
If you're having trouble finding the setting, you can quickly Google your device and APN settings and it should pop up!

Keeping track of your data usage directly from your phone settings is a practical way to manage your data consumption and avoid overages. Most smartphones today offer built-in features to monitor and control how much data you use. Here’s how you can do it:
Open Settings: Navigate to your device’s main settings menu.
Find Data Usage: Look for an option labeled "Network & Internet," "Connections," or directly "Data Usage." The exact wording can vary depending on your device.
View Data Usage: Within the Data Usage menu, you’ll see your total usage for the current cycle. You can set the cycle date to match your billing cycle for accurate monitoring.
Set Data Warning/ Limit: Many Android devices allow you to set a data warning and even a hard limit, after which your mobile data will turn off automatically to prevent overuse.
Open Settings: Go to the settings app on your iPhone.
Tap "Cellular" or "Mobile Data": In some regions, it might be labeled differently.
Scroll to "Cellular Data Usage": Here you can see your data usage for the current period. Note that iOS does not automatically reset this data at the end of your billing cycle, so you may need to do this manually.
Monitor App Data Usage: Further down, you can see how much data each app has used. This can be helpful in identifying any apps that are consuming a lot of data.
Reset Data Statistics: For both Android and iOS, consider resetting your data usage statistics at the start of each billing cycle to keep accurate track of your usage.
Use Data-Saving Modes: Many phones offer a data-saving mode that reduces the amount of data used by apps in the background.
Monitor Through Carrier Apps: Most mobile carriers have their own apps that provide real-time data usage information, which can be more accurate than the phone’s internal tracking.
By regularly checking your data usage, you can avoid unexpected charges on your bill and adjust your usage as necessary to stay within your data plan limits.
