USA SIM Card and eSIM Delivery for UK Travellers
Physical SIM Delivery to the UK and Europe, or USA eSIM Delivery by Email
Highly organised or leaving it to the last minute? Either way, we have delivery options for UK travellers visiting the USA.
Choose a physical USA SIM card if you have enough time before departure, or choose eSIM if you are travelling soon and want delivery by email.

Which Delivery Option Should You Choose?

Most Newer Phones Support eSIM
If you are travelling soon, eSIM is usually the easiest option. You do not need to wait for a physical SIM card, and you do not need to remove your UK SIM card from your phone.
Ordering From Outside the UK or Europe?
You do not need to live in the UK or Europe to buy our USA eSIM. Because eSIM setup is handled by email, you can order from anywhere if your phone is eSIM-compatible and unlocked.
We email you setup instructions after purchase, so you can prepare your USA eSIM before you travel.
