Coverage
Our cheaper SIM cards work on the T mobile network, either directly or through their partners. T mobile is an ultra fast network, however its remote area coverage lags that of AT&T. If you intend to visit many remote areas in the USA, such as Alaska, natural beauty spots, national parks etc, you may want to consider our SIM cards that use the AT&T network, marked (High Coverage).
Receiving calls
People in USA can dial your number directly to reach you, for example, 1 804 555 1233; People outside USA need to add + to your number, for example, +1 804 555 1233
Calling a number in North America
Dial the 11 digit number directly; for example, call number 1 804 555 1233 directly. You can also add + to the number before dialing. There is no distinction between a landline number and a mobile number in North America
Calling India using Direct Dial
Dial “011” or “+” + country code + phone number. For example, to call India number 022 24216344, dial “01191 22 24216344” or +91 22 24216344.
Calling India using 2 stage dialing (for High Coverage cards):
Dial USA Access Number +13476701779 & when prompted dial the India number in full international format. E.g. 912224216344).

eSIM Details
What is an eSIM?
eSIM stands for “embedded” SIM which is installed in your phone by scanning a QR code or tapping a notification. If an activation date is required the QR code / Notification is sent after activation, else 24hours after completing your documentation.
eSIM Advantages
- Easy to use: Set up your plan by scanning a simple QR code or tapping a notification.
- Save on Shipping cost: No physical delivery requirement
- Save on time: In a rush to travel? We will send eSIM QR Code via email. Scan it as per instructions and It will be ready to use upon arrival.
- Keep your original SIM: The eSIM is in addition to your original SIM which will work as usual if you need it.
eSIM Disadvantages
- Unfamiliar: Since it is a new technology expect to be learning a bit.
- eSIM Compatible Phones: eSIM will only work in eSIM compatible phones. As a general rule, iPhone 11 and Android model 2021 and higher models are compatible with eSIM.
- Single Use Only: Most eSIM codes can be used only once. Please do not delete the eSIM created on your phone, since it cannot be recreated on your phone or any other phone. However you can de-activate the eSIM when not needed from your settings.
- Transfer of eSIM: To transfer an eSIM from one phone to another you must visit the store of the Operator concerned. However some USA eSIMs can be transferred from one iPhone to another.

It never worked after I got into the US. I had to go buy another SIM from the store. The company never refunded my money.
Services Tsim (Verified user) –
We apologise for the inconvenience. Your order was refunded on 22nd May 2023.
Shirshendu Bhowmick (Verified user) –
It was great, I was skeptical on purchasing it after reading couple of Google reviews, where people mentioned it didn’t work at all.
For me it was very smooth, got network as soon as I landed in US. Call quality and data speed was also great. Only got 4G network no 5G.
Network coverage was okish, I faced some issue with network in some urban areas of San Jose otherwise everything was fine. Not sure about rural areas never tried it there.

No stress about data and calling after i purchased and used this sim card for the US. I bought the 6 gb version and it lasted for 15 days.
Services Tsim (Verified user) –
Thank you for your kind review and for detailing your data usage pattern. Your data usage of about 0.5GB/day is the average we see currently amongst users.

The Unlimited USA SIM card worked seamlessly as soon as I reached the USA. It connected to LycaMobile in US. However I could not send any SMS from the phone. I kept getting the message :
Free Msg: Unable to send message – Message Blocking is active.
Apart from this issue, making and receiving calls worked fine and data network was always available and fast.
Services Tsim (Verified user) –
Thank you for your balanced review. We will check why sending SMS did not work for you.
Adit Agarwal (Verified user) –
The product is really helpful during initial days in the US and for short trips. I am in California region and the SIM has been working seamlessly, only one thing which can be improved is providing a way to track the data balance etc on the number and portability of the number to a permanent SIM.
Services Tsim (Verified user) –
Thank you for your kind review. We are working on getting balance information for more of our SIM cards.
Naveen (Verified user) –
Purchase was easy, the ordered SIMs (2 Nos) were delivered as per promise. I.e. by next business day. I have used TSIM previously in US twice and a competing SIM once. Where the competing SIM stopped working intermittently. Such issues were far less with TSIM sim. In the current instance I am in TX state. Both Voice and Data services work fine. Coverage is good. Except for on couple of occasion, the India calls did not go through in the first attempt. But in subsequently the calls could go through.
Services Tsim (Verified user) –

Worked very well through out the period across multiple states in North-east US – Virginia, New York, Maryland, New Hampshire and Vermont. Had good access even in remote areas of some national parks

Refrain from buying from here.
Misguided and Wrong information provided by agents while purchasing. Paid 3k for a plan that doesn’t even works in Alaska. Had a chat with the agent before purchasing and they suggested T-mobile sim.. After activation it doesn’t get and speed for data usage.. upon contacting back they say i have the wrong sim, should have gone for AT&T. Couldn’t even use for 1 single day after paying so much.
Agents don’t know what they are doing. Waste of money.
Better to buy from local vendors when you reach the destination.
Need negative stars for rating..
Services Tsim (Verified user) –
We are sorry you have had a poor experience with our helpdesk. We do advise customers to take high coverage options when travelling to remote areas. We are unable to find the chat transcript pre-purchase. We apologise once again for the inconvenience.
s jose (Verified user) –
This is a good sim card because you know the phone no and it is activated before you reach there ,so if you want hire a car at the airport or give a local no for any hotel booking ,this is the best .Also it costs more to get a similar simcard there ,so might as well take this sim .But it does not have coverage everywhere ,and in some interior areas the mobile data speed does go low.

Great Network quality. Just a suggestion buy the sim and set activation date 2 days before the departure, so you can have the USA sim number readily available before the flight and you can share it your family members. The Speed of Internet was Good, I Did not use much calling but it was also decent.

I used TSIM multiple times for travel SIM card to the USA. The procedure to upload documents and get the SIM delivered has been quite smooth all the time.

I have taken sim from T-sim after lot of research and I am happy that i made correct decision. As mentioned, they activated the sim one day before i left the country as requested. Service was as promised on their website throughout my visit to USA.
Loved it and will book sim again from T-sim for sure.

I just used TSIM service for my 1 month trip to the USA. The connection service in the US was great. No connection issues if you travel within the major cities. The TSIM customer service was great as well to responding to my emails and questions.
It was great to land in the USA and already being connected and able to call and use data service. I definitely recommend TSIM for your international travel SIM card needs.
