Question 1

Is the AT&T USA/Canada/Mexico eSIM compatible with non-US Android phones?

Accepted Answer

No. Due to AT&T’s strict network whitelist and VoLTE requirements, non-US model Android phones are not compatible with the AT&T USA/Canada/Mexico eSIM. AT&T's network often blocks devices not specifically manufactured for the USA. We recommend this plan only for iPhones or US-model Android devices. In case of activation in an unsupported foreign Android device, we are unable to offer refunds.

Question 2

What calls and SMS features are included in the USA/Canada/Mexico Unlimited plan?

Accepted Answer

The plan includes unlimited standard calls and SMS within the USA, Canada, and Mexico, so you can stay connected across all three countries. It also provides 500 international minutes from the USA to 30+ countries (includes Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and Germany). These features ensure convenient communication for both local and international use throughout your trip.

Question 3

Can I use my eSIM Canada for navigation while driving through the Canadian Rockies?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely, you can use your eSIM Canada for navigation. Your eSIM Canada provides the high-speed data necessary for real-time GPS navigation on apps like Google Maps. This is particularly useful for monitoring traffic conditions on the Trans-Canada Highway or locating scenic viewpoints. To be cautious, we suggest downloading offline maps for the few remote stretches where terrain may block cellular signals.

Question 4

Is the setup for the eSIM Canada easy to do at Vancouver International Airport (YVR)?

Accepted Answer

While you can set it up upon arrival using the airport's free Wi-Fi, we highly recommend installing your eSIM Canada before you leave Australia. This way, the moment your plane lands at YVR or any other Canadian airport, you simply turn on your data roaming and connect instantly, skipping the hassle of finding a stable Wi-Fi connection.

Question 5

What does unlimited mean on the USA/Canada/Mexico Unlimited plan?

Accepted Answer

The USA/Canada/Mexico Unlimited plan includes a high-speed data allowance of 50GB for the entire validity of 30 days on 5G/4G networks. After this limit, you can use data at 1.5Mbps for the rest of your days of service. This ensures ongoing connectivity for essential apps, browsing, and messaging without any additional charges or cut-offs. However, hotspot is supported, with up to 35GB available for use while in the USA.

Question 6

Will my eSIM Canada work if I take the train between Toronto and Montreal?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can expect solid connectivity on the busy travel corridor between Toronto and Montreal. Whether you are taking the VIA Rail or driving the Highway 401, the Rogers and TELUS networks provide consistent coverage across Southern Ontario and Quebec, allowing you to stream music or work remotely during your transit between these major cities.

Question 7

Does the USA/Canada/Mexico Unlimited plan work across Hawaii and Alaska as well?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the USA/Canada/Mexico Unlimited plan provides coverage across Hawaii and Alaska, along with the USA, Canada, and Mexico, without needing to change SIMs or settings. It automatically connects to supported local networks in each country, allowing you to use data, calls, and SMS continuously as you travel across borders with a single eSIM.

Question 8

Can I use my eSIM Canada to book an Uber when I land in Toronto?

Accepted Answer

Yes, your eSIM Canada provides immediate data access upon landing and activating your roaming. This allows you to bypass the long taxi queues at Pearson International Airport (YYZ) and use ride-hailing apps like Uber or Lyft instantly. Having your own data connection is much more secure and reliable than relying on public airport Wi-Fi.

Question 9

Is my device able to tether other electronics using the eSIM Canada?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the eSIM Canada plans support personal hotspots. This is useful if you need to connect your laptop for a quick Zoom call or share your data with a travel partner. However, the regional AT&T USA/Canada/Mexico unlimited plan does not support hotspot in Canada. It has 35GB hotspot allowance within the USA only.

Question 10

Will my WhatsApp work while travelling in Canada?

Accepted Answer

Yes, your WhatsApp will function exactly as it does at home. Because the SimCorner eSIM for Canada provides a dedicated data connection that works alongside your primary SIM, your account remains tethered to your original phone number. You can message, call, and share media seamlessly without losing your chat history or needing to re-verify your account.

Question 11

Is my phone compatible with the Canadian eSIM?

Accepted Answer

Yes, most modern flagship smartphones from Apple (iPhone XS and later), Samsung (Galaxy S20 and later), and Google (Pixel 3 and later) support eSIM technology and are compatible with all Canadian eSIMs, except the regional one on the AT&T network. To be certain, your device must be network-unlocked.  Pro-Tip: Dial *#06# on your keypad; if you see an EID number listed, your phone is eSIM-compatible.

Question 12

When is the best time to install my eSIM Canada data plan?

Accepted Answer

We recommend installing your eSIM Canada before your departure while you have a stable home Wi-Fi connection. While the Data Roaming toggle should stay OFF until you land, pre-installing the profile ensures you have an immediate 5G/4G connection the moment your plane touches down and you switch Data Roaming ON. It helps you bypass the need to connect to unreliable airport Wi-Fi for your eSIM setup.

Question 13

Does the eSIM Canada come with a local phone number?

Accepted Answer

The availability of a phone number depends on your chosen plan. Canadian eSIM plans are data-only and do not include a phone number. However, the USA/Canada/Mexico plan provides a USA phone number with unlimited calls and SMS within Canada, the USA, and Mexico, plus 500 international minutes from the USA to over 30 countries, including Australia, along with unlimited data.

Question 14

What is covered by the SimCorner 100% money-back guarantee?
