Open a pack to see every plan and the countries it covers. For a trip that stays in one country, that country's own page has its plans.
Why one eSIM helps on a long route through the Americas
Across borders on one eSIM
A pack covers the countries on its list under a single eSIM, so an overland border crossing does not need a new SIM card.
Set up before the long-haul flight
The eSIM is emailed once payment clears. Install it at home on Wi-Fi and it is ready when you land.
Plans for a weekend or a season
Cards show their days, and validity starts when the eSIM first connects abroad, not on the day you buy.
Hotspot where the plan allows
Share data with a laptop at the hostel or on the bus. The plan card says when hotspot is included.
Your own number keeps working
Calls, texts and one-time passwords still arrive on your normal SIM while the eSIM carries data.
Top up when the route grows
Add another plan to the same eSIM profile instead of installing a new one at the next stop.
South America and Latin America: which pack to open
ZetSIM sells a Latin America pack and an Americas pack, and they are separate products with separate country lists. For a route through South America, the Latin America pack is the one to open first. Read its list country by country against your route, because a pack covers only what its list says, and a stop it leaves out needs that country's own plan.
Overland trips make the list matter most. A route that runs through four or five countries is exactly the case a pack is built for, and also the case where one missing name on the list changes the plan.
North America: the United States and Canada
For a trip across the US and Canada, open the Americas pack and check that both are on its list. If you stay on one side of the border, the country plan is the simpler choice: the Canada page and the United States page are linked below, each with every plan length on offer.
People often search for a Canada eSIM or a USA eSIM on its own, and those two pages are the answer to that search. A pack is for the trip that crosses the border, or one that includes other countries on its list.
Choosing days and data for a long route
Add up the days from your first landing to your last flight, then a spare one. Long overland legs and remote stretches tend to mean more map and messaging use, so a bigger plan with a top-up in reserve is the safer shape. Unlimited plans may slow after an allowance, and the fair-use note is on the plan's page.
From route to connected
Choose the pack, read the list
Open the pack for your part of the Americas and check every country on your route against its list.
Install on Wi-Fi at home
Tap the install button in the email on the phone it is for, or scan the QR code from another screen.
Connect when you land
Choose the eSIM for mobile data on arrival. The plan starts when it first connects to a network abroad.
A pack or a plan for each country?

| Best when | You cross borders on the route | You stay in one country |
| Top up the same eSIM later |
Does your phone support an eSIM?
Dial *#06# on your keypad. If the panel that opens lists an EID, your phone is eSIM-ready. It works on iPhone and Android, takes about ten seconds, and nothing leaves your device.
Not listed? Dial *#06# — if an EID number appears, your phone supports eSIM. See the full list
No EID? The phone takes a physical SIM only, and a travel eSIM will not work on it. If the EID is there but your handset came from a carrier, check it is not network-locked before you buy.

Ask on WhatsAppYes, for countries that a plan covers. Open the Latin America pack, read its country list against your route, and install the eSIM at home before you fly. For a country the list leaves out, buy that country's own plan as well.
The best one is the plan whose pack lists every country on your route and whose days and data fit the trip. Compare the cards above, open the Latin America pack to read its list, and choose the smallest plan that covers your dates with a spare day.
Yes, when each country is on the pack's list. One pack is one eSIM that stays connected as you cross borders between those countries. The list on the pack page is read from the catalogue, so check it for every stop before you buy.
It does when the plan covers both countries. Open the Americas pack and look for each by name. If your trip stays on one side of the border, the Canada page or the United States page has plans for that country alone.
Only if the plan's country list includes Canada. A plan bought for the United States alone covers that country alone. Check the Americas pack for both countries, or buy a Canada plan for the other half of the trip. The plan page for each says which countries it covers.
It works in the countries a Latin America plan lists, so read the list on the pack page for each stop. Install the eSIM on Wi-Fi at home; validity starts when it first connects to a network abroad, not on the day you pay.
Check the list, then install
Open the pack for your route, read its countries against your stops, and set the eSIM up at home.
