Going to the US? Skip the daily roaming charge.

Upfront
Four things to know before you buy
Your phone must support eSIM
And it must not be locked to a carrier. Most recent iPhone, Google Pixel and Samsung Galaxy models work. Not sure? Email us.
It stays on one phone
If you delete it, you can reinstall it on the same phone up to 4 more times, but it can't move to another phone. Changing phones? Contact us.
At $0, data stops
You would need Wi-Fi to top up. That's why we email you when your balance drops below $10, $5 and $2.
Usage shows 10–15 minutes late
Your balance follows the usage the network reports, so it runs a little behind your phone.
USA eSIM questions
Is it cheaper than roaming with my Canadian carrier?
For most trips, yes. Daily roaming from Bell, Rogers and Telus costs about $13–$16 CAD a day in the US (November 2026). With TAOX, $10 USD buys about 5–9 GB in the US, and you pay only for what you use.
Can I keep my Canadian number?
Yes. Your Canadian SIM stays in the phone for calls and texts. Turn off roaming on it and choose TAOX for mobile data. On most daily roaming plans, a call, a text or data on your Canadian line starts that day's charge, so check your carrier's rules. Apps like WhatsApp and FaceTime work over TAOX data.
Which US networks does it use?
Your phone joins a local partner network: T-Mobile, AT&T, Verizon. It picks the network when you land.
Can I use it in Canada too?
It works in Canada, but it is not the cheapest way to use data at home: $10 buys about 2–3 GB in Canada. It is made for trips abroad.
Does my balance expire?
No. TAOX doesn't expire your balance or charge inactivity fees, and our network partner doesn't expire balances or retire unused eSIMs today. Keep what's left for your next trip.
Will my phone work?
Your phone must support eSIM and not be locked to a carrier. Most recent iPhone, Google Pixel and Samsung Galaxy models do. If you're not sure, email us before you pay.
How do I get a refund?
Within 14 days of paying, email support@taox.com with the payment date and amount. Not installed: full refund. Installed but no data used: refund minus $2.
