For international students

The US phone number every international student needs — before you land.

Open a US bank account, verify Zelle and Venmo, get your campus apps working, and receive texts from professors and landlords — from day one. A real US number + data, on your own phone. No SSN, no US credit, no US address.

🛡️ If your eSIM doesn't activate, we refund you — no risk.

The wall every new student hits

You can't do much in the US without a US number — but you can't get one without already being set up. We fix that before you fly.

🏦

Your bank wants a US number

Chase, Bank of America, Zelle and Venmo all text a US number for verification. A foreign number won't receive the code.

🎓

Campus + apps assume you have one

Student-portal 2FA, housing, Uber, DoorDash, and marketplace apps all expect a US number to sign up.

💬

WhatsApp, iMessage & Google

Re-verifying your accounts on a US number keeps friends, family, and 2FA reaching you without roaming.

🔒

No SSN, no catch-22

You don't need an SSN, US credit, or a US address to get started. Land already connected instead of scrambling.

What you get

How it works

Three steps, done before you leave home.

1

Pick a plan

Choose a US line with a real number + data. Pay by card, Alipay, WeChat Pay, or crypto.

2

Get your eSIM by email

Your QR code arrives within minutes — no shipping, no waiting for a physical SIM.

3

Scan before you fly

Install the eSIM on your phone. You land in the US with a working US number.

A data eSIM isn't enough

Most "travel eSIMs" give you internet — but no US number. So your bank and apps still can't text you a code.

Questions

Do I need an SSN?

No. No Social Security Number, US credit, or US address is required. Bring your own unlocked phone.

Can I receive US bank codes (Zelle, Venmo, Chase)?

Yes — it's a real US number, so it receives SMS codes from US banks and apps like Zelle, Venmo, Chase, Bank of America, Uber, DoorDash, WhatsApp, and Google.

Can I set it up before I arrive?

Yes — that's the point. We email your eSIM QR in minutes; scan it before you board and you land already connected.

Which phones work?

Any unlocked eSIM phone — iPhone XS and newer, recent Samsung Galaxy, Google Pixel, and most flagship Android phones.

Can I keep the same number all year?

Yes. Top up the line to keep it active for as long as you study, so your bank, friends, and apps always reach the same number.

What if it doesn't activate?

If your eSIM doesn't activate, contact us and we'll refund you — no risk.
