Why is Cedar Mobile’s eSIM the best option for Australians travelling to the USA in 2025?

Because it just plain works! No dramas, no nasty feed and no confusing setups. Cedar Mobile gives Aussie travellers a fast, reliable connection the moment they land in the States. You’ll stay connected on trusted U.S. networks, avoid roaming charges and enjoy a dead‑easy setup that doesn’t require swapping physical SIMs or visiting a store. It’s all online, fuss‑free and cost effective. 

How does using Cedar Mobile’s eSIM in the USA differ from a traditional SIM card in terms of cost and convenience?

With a traditional SIM, you’re often stuck hunting for a kiosk at the airport or a store once you’re in the city. Skip fumbling with your tiny plastic SIMs or risking endless roaming fees from your Aussie provider. 

What steps should I follow to activate my Cedar Mobile eSIM for use in the USA?

  • Select and purchase your ideal plan on this page 
  • Check your email for the QR code (or manual install details) 
  • Scan the code on your compatible phone to install the eSim
  • Activate it before you leave and it’ll go live as soon as you land

What are the most popular data plans available with Cedar Mobile’s eSIM for use in the USA?

It’s best to select what suits your needs the most, but our most popular one is the Extra Large Plan with 20 GB over 30 days for the more heavy‑data users. It’s the sweet spot between needing map access on the go, while giving you plenty of data to share via hotspot with your family and friends before you get to a Wi‑fi connected area like your hotel. 

How does Cedar Mobile’s eSIM ensure reliable internet access in both urban areas like New York and rural areas across the USA?

We’ve partnered with the best USA mobile networks to give you both great coverage and high speed internet in both big cities and rural areas. This means you will have coverage in both big cities and remote spots. 

Should I get a country-specific plan or a regional one for the USA?

If you’re just travelling in the USA, get the country specific plan. However if your itinerary includes Canada and Mexico as well as the USA, we recommend our North America plan. 

Can I use Cedar Mobile’s eSIM in the USA for data‑intensive tasks like video calls, streaming, and navigation?

100%! If you’re looking to use your phone for video calls and streaming on the go, we highly recommend our Extra Large pack which offers 20 GB of data over 30 days.

How to set up your Cedar Mobile eSIM

(Super Easy!)

  • Make sure your phone is eSIM compatible and unlocked!

    (Better to check first, right?)

  • Pick a budget-friendly eSIM and buy it!

    Just choose your destination and the perfect data plan for you.

    It’ll land in your inbox soon!

    It’s that simple!

What's an eSIM?

Say goodbye to fiddly little plastic SIM cards! An eSIM (that’s short for embedded SIM) is a new digital technology version that lives right inside your phone or device. No more old fashioned SIMs and finding a paperclip - it’s all done electronically! Just as clever, but way more convenient.

How much data do I really need

Ah, the million-megabyte question! How much data you need totally depends on how you use your phone – are you a map-checking, music-loving, TikTok-scrolling, Netflix-bingeing travel adventurer, or more of an “email and chill” kind of explorer? Let’s break it down so you’re never caught off-guard abroad.

Is my phone eSIM compatible? Let’s find out!

Wondering if your phone is part of the cool
eSIM club? If your smartphone was born (aka released) in or after 2019/2020, there’s a good chance it’s already eSIM-ready. But not worth the risk - let’s do a quick check!

Read more for 4 super easy ways to find out.

How do I know if my phone is unlocked? (And what on earth is a locked phone?)

Great question! Before you jet off on your next adventure—or snap up that shiny new digital SIM—it’s a good idea to check whether your phone is locked. Don’t worry, it’s super easy, and we’ll walk you through it.

So, what’s the difference between Installation and Activation?

Great question, globetrotter!

When you're setting up your Cedar Mobile eSIM, your phone will give you a little nudge to activate it. But let’s break it down:

Installation means downloading your eSIM onto your phone - think of it as moving in. Whether it’s automatic or manual, it’s just your phone getting cozy with your new Cedar Mobile eSIM.

Activation? Well, this is a two-step party:

  1. First, your phone activates the eSIM itself - this gets everything set up and ready to roll.
  2. Then, when you land in your destination, boom! It activates again - this time, our Cedar Mobile data plan connects to the local mobile network and goes live.

Pro tip:
You’ll need internet and a phone that’s eSIM compatible and unlocked. So, do yourself a favor and get all this sorted before you jet off. That way, your phone is ready to say “Bonjour” the moment you land!

Remember: your data plan only kicks in when you're actually on the ground in your destination country. Until then, it's just chillin’ and waiting patiently.

When should I activate my eSIM?

Oh, the age-old question! Don’t worry, but you do need to:

Just double-check that your phone isn’t locked and is eSIM compatible, your VPN and firewall are turned off and your phone has the latest software downloaded on it -  no surprises at the airport, please!

You've got 2 options:

1.Before you jet off

This is the best and smoothest way to go. We recommend installing and activating your eSIM the day before you fly out. That way, you’re ready to hit the ground running (or strolling, if you prefer).

2. When you arrive

Decided to leave it to last? (always the optimist). You can activate your eSIM once you land. Just make sure you’ve got Wi-Fi handy - your eSIM needs a little internet love to wake up. And trust us, you don’t want to discover your phone isn’t compatible or locked when you’re tired, jet-lagged, and Wi-Fi-hunting in a foreign country.

Want the step-by-step juicy details? Check out the next question: How to activate your eSIM QR code

How do I activate my eSIM with a QR code?

Ah, the magic QR code - your golden ticket to glorious mobile data!

Once you buy a Cedar Mobile eSIM plan, you’ll get an email with your QR code (usually within a minute or two - faster than you can say “expensive roaming charges!”). Can’t find it? Poke around in your spam or junk folder just in case.

Just double-check before you start activating the QR code that your phone:

  1. Isn’t locked and is eSIM compatible,
  2. Your VPN and firewall are turned off, and
  3. Your phone has the latest software downloaded on it - iOS or Android ... old phone software will cause you problems activating your QR code (just warning you in advance).

Tip: You can activate your eSIM before your trip (highly recommended!) or upon arrival
