Mobile Network

Your primary mobile service for data, calls, messaging, and connected communication at home and abroad.

Your primary mobile service for data, calls, messaging, and connected communication at home and abroad.

Onyx is an ongoing mobile service, not a temporary travel eSIM.

We built Onyx to keep your number, communication, payments, and identity synchronized as you move between devices, networks, and regions.

Plans And Coverage

Regional and global connectivity at your fingertips.

Regional options include:

  • US & Canada
  • Asia Pacific
  • Middle East & North Africa

If you reside or frequently travel outside of these regions. Choose Global coverage.

Coverage, pricing, and available services can vary depending on local carrier support and regional telecom regulation.

Using The Service

Your plan stays active across supported regions and roaming networks.

When moving across regions, your device may briefly reconnect while registering on a new network. In some regions, registration can take up to 30 minutes depending on local carrier conditions.

Coverage does not guarantee identical speeds or signal quality everywhere. Performance can vary between cities, buildings, transit routes, airports, and rural areas depending on local network infrastructure and congestion.

Onyx brings network-agnostic coverage to your device. Legacy mobile providers force you to choose a single national carrier. Onyx works across multiple carrier partners in supported countries so your device can stay connected while networks, regions, and signal conditions change.

Number Service

Where supported, you can add an Onyx number for:

  • voice calls
  • SMS
  • account recovery
  • verification flows

Number availability depends on:

  • region
  • local telecom regulation
  • voice and SMS support
  • verification requirements

Some regions support:

  • data only
  • data plus voice
  • data plus SMS
  • local numbers

The app shows available number options before checkout.

Activation

Onyx uses eSIM activation on supported devices.

After checkout, the app prepares activation and guides setup on the phone. Depending on the device, setup may require:

  • scanning a QR code
  • confirming installation in cellular settings
  • enabling roaming
  • selecting the Onyx line for mobile data
  • restarting the device after installation

Most activations complete within a few minutes, although registration timing can vary depending on the device and local network conditions.

During activation, the app shows whether the service is:

  • ready to install
  • active
  • suspended
  • expired
  • or still needs attention

If activation fails, the issue is usually related to:

  • device compatibility
  • carrier lock status
  • unsupported network bands
  • interrupted installation
  • disabled roaming
  • delayed network registration

Managing Your Service

After activation, the app becomes the control center for your service.

From the same Onyx app, you can manage:

  • usage
  • renewals
  • numbers
  • activation state
  • verification status
  • wallet and payment access
  • encrypted messaging and calls
  • connected apps and permissions

Usage updates can occasionally appear delayed while the device switches between roaming partners or waits for local carrier reporting updates.

Device Requirements

Your device must support:

  • eSIM
  • compatible network bands
  • roaming support where required

Some devices may need to be unlocked depending on carrier restrictions.

Different phones can behave differently during activation, roaming transitions, and dual-SIM management. Some devices may require manual roaming settings or line selection after activation.
