Regional eSIM vs Singapore Carrier Roaming for North America Travel
North America is one of the most expensive international roaming destinations for Singapore carrier day passes. A HelloRoam North America eSIM offers substantially better value for most Singaporean travellers.
| Category | HelloRoam Regional North America eSIM Recommended | Airport SIM in the USA | Roaming with your carrier |
|---|---|---|---|
| Typical cost | From SGD 6.08 total | — | — |
| Details | One plan covers USA, Canada, and Mexico. Buy before departing Changi. Connects to AT&T, T-Mobile, or Verizon in the USA automatically. Better value than Singtel, StarHub, M1, or Simba day passes for the USA. | US airport SIM shops at JFK, LAX, and SFO are convenient but expensive. Tourist SIMs require registration. Managing separate SIMs for USA and Canada is inconvenient. | Singtel, StarHub, M1, and Simba day passes for the USA are among the higher-priced Singapore roaming destinations. A 2-week US trip can accumulate significant daily roaming costs. A regional eSIM is typically more cost-effective. |
Prices approximate as of . Actual savings vary.
Best Times for Singaporean Travellers to Visit North America
The USA is a year-round destination given its vast size. Summer (June to August) is peak tourist season for the East Coast and national parks. Fall (September to November) is excellent for New England foliage. Winter in New York and Chicago is cold but urban attractions operate year-round.
California's Los Angeles and San Francisco are pleasant year-round. Hawaii is an excellent winter destination for Singaporeans.
Canada is best visited June through September for warm weather. Vancouver is pleasant year-round. Toronto's winter is harsh.
Singapore school holidays in June and November-December generate peak demand for US and North America travel.

On a trip to Europe, my hotel Wi-Fi was so slow and outside Wi-Fi was unreliable. I couldn’t take it anymore so I got helloroam for a few days. It was tricky to set up correctly because of the primary settings (with my original number). But I reached out to their customer service via WhatsApp. Super responsive and helpful, with specific and clear steps to troubleshoot. Appreciate having 4G roaming instead of being stuck with in and out Wi-Fi during my trip!!

Very good experience! The eSIM was easy to set up and worked great in London. It was much cheaper than it would have been to use my own operator there.
