How it works

Three steps between you and a working phone abroad.

  1. Pick your destination

    Search 190+ countries and regional bundles. See honest data amounts and real prices before you commit.

  2. Install in 2 minutes

    Scan a QR code or tap one link. No SIM tray, no store queue, no waiting for a courier.

  3. Land connected

    Your eSIM activates the moment you touch down (or earlier, your call). Maps, messages, boarding passes — all there.

Why not just roam?

Roaming vs. an Onda USA eSIM

Skip the roaming bill

The USA is a long haul from Australia — 13 to 15 hours into Los Angeles or San Francisco — and long trips are where roaming day passes really compound. At your telco's typical A$5–10 a day, three weeks of coast-to-coast travel can quietly pass A$150. A US eSIM is a single purchase with a fixed data amount, which suits exactly the kind of big, sprawling trip Australians tend to do there.

Install before you fly (home WiFi, two minutes), then activate on landing — genuinely useful at US airports, where border queues are long and free WiFi is hit and miss. Road trips, ride-shares and 'is this diner any good' searches, all covered.

Heading to Hawaii on the way over? Check the plan's coverage list before you buy — most USA plans include it, and the listing spells it out.

Common questions

USA eSIM FAQ

Will my phone work with an eSIM in USA?
Most phones from the last few years support eSIM — iPhone XS/XR and newer, Samsung Galaxy S20 and newer, Google Pixel 4 and newer, plus recent Motorola and OPPO models. Check your SIM settings for "Add eSIM" or use our [compatibility checker](/help). Install is a QR scan; your home SIM stays in place.
How fast is the data in USA?
You get full local network speeds on partner networks in USA, with no artificial throttling from us. Cities and tourist areas are typically fast; remote regions depend on the local network footprint.
Can I make calls or send texts with this eSIM?
Onda eSIMs are data-only. For calls and texts, use WiFi calling or apps like WhatsApp, Telegram and iMessage. Your normal number stays active for incoming bank SMS codes.
What happens if I run out of data?
Top up from your Onda account in a couple of taps — no new QR code, no shop visit. If you're unsure on size, our [data sizing guide](/guides/data-how-much-do-i-need) explains what maps, social and video actually use.
Does it work across multiple US states?
Yes — one US eSIM plan covers the mainland and typically includes Hawaii and major metro areas. Coverage follows the partner network footprint, so cities and interstates are strong; remote national-park back-country may be limited, just like any US carrier.
Can I use Uber, Lyft and Google Maps?
Yes — Uber, Lyft, Google Maps, Apple Maps, WhatsApp and iMessage all work over the data connection. The eSIM is data-only, so use WiFi calling or apps for voice calls.
