Frequently Asked Questions about United States eSIM

Do I get a phone number with the eSIM?
No. Our eSIMs are data-only, so they do not come with a phone number. You use them for internet access — maps, WhatsApp, email, social media, streaming and any other app. Your existing SIM keeps your own phone number active.
Can I make or receive calls and text messages (SMS)?
Not standard calls or SMS — the eSIM provides mobile data only. You can call and message as much as you like through internet apps such as WhatsApp, FaceTime, Telegram, Signal or Messenger, which run on the eSIM's data. Standard calls and SMS keep working on your usual number through your home operator, as long as you keep that SIM active.
How much data do I need for United States?
It depends on the plan you choose. Across nearly 3,000 of our customers' finished eSIMs, the typical one used half to two-thirds of its plan, and on the smaller plans (1-5 GB) about one in three used all of it. Maps and messaging use little; video, video calls and sharing your connection use the most. If in doubt, take the next size up. If you do run out, you can buy another eSIM at any time - you will need WiFi to install it.
What network speeds will I get in United States?
Your United States eSIM uses a local mobile network: 4G, and 5G where the network offers it. Speed depends on coverage and your location.
Can I use my eSIM for hotspot/tethering?
Yes, but only for Data Plans with a fixed data allowance. Unlimited plans do not support hotspot or tethering.
When should I install my United States eSIM?
Install your eSIM while you still have WiFi at home - it is safe to do so days in advance for either plan type. Per-GB plans only start when the eSIM first connects to a network in United States. Unlimited plans run on the travel dates you select at checkout, with the days counting from your chosen start date whether the eSIM is installed or not - so make sure it is on your phone by that date.

Airport WiFi & Internet in United States

One eSIM, coast to coast

A single plan covers the entire United States, so the same eSIM works in New York, Los Angeles, Miami, Chicago and everywhere along the way. Scan the QR code before you fly, switch off airplane mode after landing, and you are connected without setting foot in a US carrier store.

That matters in the US, where buying a local SIM as a visitor usually means ID checks, store queues and a monthly plan you do not want. The eSIM skips all of it.

Skip the carrier store - online at JFK, LAX and beyond

Set the eSIM up at home and it connects the moment you turn off airplane mode at JFK, Newark, LAX, O’Hare, Miami or San Francisco. Your rideshare app, hotel check-in and maps are ready before you reach baggage claim - no hunting for airport Wi-Fi.

Coverage in the cities, on the highways and in the parks

The plan runs on the major US networks (AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon coverage), with widespread 5G across cities and strong signal along the interstate highways. That is ideal for navigation on a long road trip, rideshare, and streaming a podcast between stops.

As with any US network, deep backcountry in the big national parks - parts of Yellowstone, Death Valley or the Grand Canyon rim trails - can drop to no signal. Download offline maps before you head out, then you are covered again as you return to the highways and gateway towns.

How much data for a US trip

American trips are data-hungry: constant GPS navigation, rideshare, and maps across long distances add up fast. For a one- or two-week trip with daily driving and navigation, lean towards a larger plan, and pick one with hotspot support if you want to share data to a laptop or a travel companion.

Good to know before you go

Does it work in national parks like Yellowstone or the Grand Canyon?+

You will have signal in the gateway towns, on the main roads and at most viewpoints. Deep backcountry and remote trails can lose service entirely - the same as any US carrier - so download offline maps before heading in.

Will one plan work in both New York and California?+

Yes. It is a single nationwide plan, so the same eSIM works coast to coast - New York, California, Florida, Las Vegas and everywhere in between - with no need to switch plans.

Can I use it for hotspot and rideshare apps?+

Rideshare and navigation apps work anywhere you have signal. Tethering/hotspot is supported on plans that include it - check the plan details if sharing data to a laptop or another device matters for your trip.
