Quick verdict by trip type

For a trip that crosses a border, the Flysimio North America eSIM covers the United States, Canada and Mexico on one plan and switches networks automatically: AT&T and Verizon in the US, Rogers in Canada and Movistar in Mexico. Plans start at $4.95 for 1 GB / 7 days, hotspot is included, and you get a full refund within 7 days if it is unused or has used less than 100 MB. Spending most of the trip in one country? That country's Flysimio eSIM costs less and uses more local networks: Telcel in Mexico, and all four networks in Canada.

What does the North America bundle cover?

The regional bundle covers all three North American countries — the United States (all 50 states, including Hawaii and Alaska), Canada (all provinces and territories in populated areas), and Mexico (all 31 states and Mexico City) — on a single eSIM that switches networks automatically as you cross borders.

How much data do you actually need?

Usage typeEstimated data per dayFor 14 days

Navigation + social media~300 MB/day~4.2 GB

Which North American carriers your eSIM actually uses

  • United States: AT&T, Verizon — the two largest US networks, with nationwide 4G/LTE and 5G in 300+ cities.
  • Canada: Rogers, covering the Trans-Canada Highway and all major cities. The Flysimio Canada eSIM uses Bell, Rogers, Telus and SaskTel for trips mostly in Canada.
  • Mexico: Movistar, with good 4G in Mexico City, Cancún and the main resort areas. For travel outside the cities, the Flysimio Mexico eSIM runs on Telcel, which covers more than 94% of the population.

North America eSIM coverage by country

  • United States — AT&T and Verizon cover all 50 states with 5G in 300+ cities. See the USA country guide for a US-only plan.
  • Canada — Rogers reaches coast to coast, including the Trans-Canada Highway corridor. See the Canada country guide for details.
  • Mexico — Movistar covers Mexico City, Cancún, Playa del Carmen, Los Cabos and the other main resort areas. For Oaxaca, Chiapas, the Copper Canyon or other rural areas, the Mexico country plan on Telcel is the better choice.
Note: Visiting only one of the three countries? A country-specific eSIM — USA, Canada, or Mexico — is cheaper than the regional bundle. The regional plan wins the moment you cross a border.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best eSIM for a USA, Canada, and Mexico trip?

The Flysimio North America eSIM: one plan for all three countries, AT&T and Verizon in the US, Rogers in Canada and Movistar in Mexico, switching automatically at each border. It starts at $4.95 for 1 GB, includes hotspot and is refundable within 7 days if unused.

Is this cheaper than carrier roaming?

Usually, if your home plan does not already include all three countries. Roaming is charged per day (AT&T's International Day Pass is $12 a day), while one Flysimio North America plan covers up to 30 days.

Do I need separate plans for each country?

No. One North America eSIM roams automatically across the United States, Canada, and Mexico — the eSIM connects to a local network the moment you cross a border, no swapping or reinstalling required.

Does this work coast to coast in the US, including Hawaii and Alaska?

Yes. Coverage spans all 50 states, including Hawaii and Alaska, on the AT&T and Verizon networks.

Which network will I use in Mexico?

Movistar, on the North America plan. It covers Mexico City, Cancún and the main resort areas well. If you are travelling outside the cities, for example Oaxaca, Chiapas or the Copper Canyon, the Flysimio Mexico eSIM runs on Telcel, the network with the widest rural coverage.

What happens when I cross the border?

Nothing you need to do: the eSIM switches to the local network within a minute or two of crossing, at Niagara, Detroit–Windsor, San Diego–Tijuana or an Alaska cruise port alike. Keep data roaming on for the eSIM line.

What if the eSIM does not work for me?

You can get a full refund within 7 days of purchase if the eSIM is unused or has used less than 100 MB, so you can install it and check it connects first. If it genuinely fails on our side, we refund it in full after that too. Full terms are in our refund policy.

Is a country-specific plan ever better than the regional bundle?

Yes — if you're only visiting one of the three countries, that country's dedicated eSIM is cheaper than the regional bundle. The regional plan is worth it once your trip crosses at least one border.

Can I top up if I run low on data?

It depends on the plan: your Flysimio account shows whether your eSIM can be topped up. If it cannot, buy a new plan, which installs in a minute from a QR code.
