Frequently asked

Do I need separate SIMs for the US, Canada and Mexico?
Not if you use a North-America eSIM. A single regional plan covers all three hosts, so changing match cities does not mean changing SIMs, queueing in a shop, or roaming-priced minutes. You land, switch eSIM profile if needed, and keep working.
How much data should a fan plan for during the tournament?
For maps, ride apps, social posting and the odd half watched on the phone, budget 5–10 GB per week. Add more if you intend to live-stream matches outside Wi-Fi. Choose a plan you can top up rather than picking the cheapest tier and running out at half-time.
Can I hotspot to a laptop for work between matches?
Yes on most regional eSIMs — check the plan specifically allows tethering. For nomads working between matches the eSIM doubles as your office connection in stadium hotels and on the bus to the next host city.
What about the home phone number for banking codes?
Keep your home SIM or eSIM live in a second slot just for SMS-based 2FA, and run the data eSIM in the first. Most modern phones support both at once so you never lose a banking code while abroad chasing matches.
