eSIM Disadvantages

- 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.

I am back in india from USA.
I had very experience with your sim card. It was so convenient. I could use within seconds after landing.
To use Uber cars, it was must.
I prefer physical Sim Card.
I strongly recommend to buy in India. And activate 2 days before departure.

Not quite as satisfied with this card, this time, as I have been with TSIM Europe cards. For one thing, TSIM told me I would need another handset – but I have only one, so I took my chances. I wanted to be able to use Google Maps for some driving I was going to do in California. If I got the route while in Wifi range, then it worked fine while driving. But if not … actually getting the route on mobile data was too slow. I realize this is no fault of TSIM, who had warned me.
Other than that, all was ok with this card. I was able to make local calls without problems.
Many thanks.

We apologise for the inconvenience. USA operators are picky about the handset they allow on their networks. Most Chinese brands are not allowed. Also many phones sold in India do not have the frequencies required to roam everywhere in USA. Thank you for your balanced review and taking the time to record your experiences.
