One important thing that makes our service stand out from others on the market is its reliability. As the sim card is from one of the two main carriers in America, they offer coverage in most of the main cities and/or tourist areas.

How do I set up a prepaid SIM card for USA, Canada, or Mexico

The Sim Cards that SimCorner sells are activated based on the activation date you provide at the time of purchase. This is when your 30 days begin. This is also the date that you can start using your services when you're at the covered destination. All you need to do when you land is insert it into your phone and away you go.

Why should you buy a prepaid SIM card with SimCorner

One of the main reasons is that you can choose your plan and package before landing in America. This ensures that you purchase a service that will be most suited to your needs. Also, being able to activate the sim before you land means that you can start using your phone the moment you step outside of the airport.

Furthermore, when a sim is activated we can retrieve the phone number from the system. As an option for our customers, if you are travelling for less than 30 days you can look at providing an earlier arrival date when purchasing the sim card, bearing in mind that your 30 days of service will still begin from that date. You can then e-mail us on the activation date you provided requesting your phone number which we can then forward to you.

Get the Right SIM Card for USA, Canada, Mexico for you

For instance, if you’re heading to sunny Florida on a family holiday but are worried about keeping the children entertained, we’d suggest looking at a SIM for the USA with lots of data. Why not look at the Unlimited 5G/4G data SIM? That way your children can Snapchat their friends to their heart's content while you enjoy some peace and quiet - everyone’s happy.

Alternatively, if you’re visiting some friends in New York and need unlimited calls to USA mobiles and landlines, and then heading to the Great White North, why not look at our AT&T USA Canada Mexico eSIM Card? It’ll give you enough data to get you by while also giving you all the minutes you need to stay in touch while navigating the busy streets of both the USA, Mexico and Canada.
