CBP agents can search your phone at the US border — without a warrant, without suspicion. Checkpoint Mobile leases you a clean US number before you land. Nothing personal on it. Nothing for anyone to find.

Customs and Border Protection has the legal authority to search any electronic device at a US port of entry — no probable cause needed. That includes your personal photos, messages, work emails, contacts, and anything else on your phone.
Personal images, family photos, anything on your camera roll is fair game for a border search and can be copied to government servers.
WhatsApp, Signal, iMessage — cached conversations visible on the device can be reviewed without your consent or a court order.
Work correspondence, personal email, any account your phone has cached locally is accessible to agents during a device search.
Browser history, social media accounts still logged in, and app data all give a detailed portrait of who you are and what you do.
The whole point is that it takes minutes, not headspace. You get a real US phone number and working device. We take care of the rest.
Choose your plan by trip length. We ship the phone to your hotel or you pick it up at the airport. US number assigned before you land.
The device has nothing on it. No accounts, no history, no data. Calls and texts work. That is the whole story for customs.
US calls, texts, and data. Use your own phone on Wi-Fi for everything personal. The rental handles your local number.
Prepaid return envelope included. We wipe the device and it is ready for the next traveler. No charges, no hassle.
Every rental comes with a clean device, a real US number, and enough data to actually use the thing.
Your own dedicated US number for calls and SMS. Give it out. Use it for rideshares, restaurant reservations, hotel check-in.
LTE data across the continental US. Maps, ride apps, email on this device if you want it. Your call, literally.
Each device is fully wiped and verified before shipping. We document the clean state. There is nothing there because there is nothing there.
We ship to your first US destination (hotel, Airbnb, business address) or to your home before you leave.
Drop it in any USPS mailbox on your way out. No printing, no trips to a carrier store, no fee if you return it on time.
We don't pre-install any accounts. The phone boots clean. You decide what, if anything, you add. It is wiped again when you return it.
