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).

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.

Activating eSIM on your Device using an Operator Notification

The notification is sent to the phone you intend to use on your trip for which you have given us the EID and IMEI number by dialing *#06#.

Among all the available options that I explored, TSIM’s pricing scheme was the best.

Suryansh Gaur –
Great service, got good connectivity both for calling and data all across SFO. Worked smoothly since the time i landed at the airport. Customer service needs to improve a bit in being prompt enough to provide activation details along with phone number, in my case I had to follow up to get things done.
Services Tsim –
We apologise for the inconvenience of the activation process. We will be inspecting the details of your case to see where we can improve the process. Thank you for detailing your experiences and your balanced review.

I was initially skeptical of trying a new service.. but this has been by far the best experience I have had. The sim card connects seamlessly both voice and data and you are never worried of receiving calls, making calls to India and data usage.
I would definitely recommend Tsim always.

I was not able to use data on landing, I had to call tsim MUMBAI for help.
They were very helpful and were able to solve my issue by showing me how to update carrier settings.

TSIM has provided me a marvellous and wonderful service ! I have used it in California and never got any problem. It had superb connectivity, clear voice coverage and good internet. TSIM is truly value for money. This is the sec9nd time I am using TSIM in USA and I am completely satisfied. Besides, back in India, TSIM has an excellent support team via tele-talk as well as WhatsApp. I will recommend TSIM to everyone I know or come across in future!

H2O sim worked fine in Boston, NYC, Baltimore, Washington and Atlanta city. Though It was a 4G sim, because of compatibility of network with my mobile, I got only H+ and not 4G. But speed was quite okay.
One point where Tsim can improve in their service is that they should able to tell the customer clearly which frequency bands are used by AT&T (or Tmobile) at particular area of interest, so that one can understand the compatibility of his/her phone with network. The information I got from customer service that ‘my phone may or may not work with the network depending upon availability of 3G network’ even when I clearly mentioned the bands of my phone. This type of information is not helpful at all. So I had to contact AT&T and confirm the bands they use in these cities. Tsim should have these basic info with them to serve better.
Services Tsim –
Thank you for detailing where the SIM card worked and for your suggestion. 2G & 3G networks in the USA are rapidly being dismantled making any information we have outdated very soon. However, we will certainly look to be able to provide more detailed city wise information.
