English
An eSIM for the United States is a digital data plan for the phone you already own. There is no physical SIM card, no airport lines, and no passport needed. Your plan is ready on your SIMAREA account before you even leave home.
It works safely alongside your normal SIM. You keep your own number for calls and important text messages. Your data goes through the SIMAREA plan. Just turn off data roaming on your home SIM to avoid high bills.
Every plan here uses more than one partner network. Your phone joins one when you arrive and can switch to another if the signal weakens.
If you stay longer, top up your current plan with more data. You do not need to buy a new one.
What it is not: a local phone number. If you need one for verification codes, see virtual numbers for the United States.
USA eSIM: prepaid data for your trip to the US
5GMobile data in the United States on Verizon and AT&T, with a US IP address on every plan. Install the eSIM by QR code at home and switch it on when you land.
The unlimited plan is the day pass we feature for the United States: after its daily full-speed allowance it keeps you connected at a lower speed, and it is billed per day for the days you choose. Fixed plans are one price for the term shown. Nothing on this page is an estimate.
How to get mobile data in the United States
Install it at home before you go. Some plans here start counting at installation, so check the line under the price for the plan you pick.
Pick eSIM plan
Choose how long you are there. The day pass is billed per day, so the term is yours to set.
Pay, then scan
Charged from your balance, which you top up with crypto. Your QR code is in your dashboard once the order is paid.
Turn it on when you arrive
Turn on data roaming for your SIMAREA plan when you arrive, and it joins a partner network.
What to know about an eSIM for the United States
The specifics that decide whether a travel eSIM is useful once you're actually there.
More than one network
Every plan here lists more than one partner network. If one gets weak, your phone can switch to another.
Set up before you go
No SIM card store, no passport check. Install it at home, then turn on data roaming for it when you arrive.
Hotspot sharing
Share your internet with a laptop or a friend, if your plan and phone allow it.
Keep your own number
The eSIM is just for internet. Your normal SIM still receives calls and important bank codes. You can use both at once.
Keep using the same eSIM
Staying longer? Top up the same plan with more data from your dashboard. No need for a new QR code.
If it does not work
Not installed or connected yet? Ask for a refund within 30 days of buying it. Installed but not working on any of its networks? Support helps, and refunds you if it cannot be fixed.
Verizon, AT&T and a US IP on every plan
An eSIM for the USA from SIMAREA connects to two American networks, Verizon and AT&T. Both are listed on every US plan in the catalog, both are typed 5G, and every plan's speed includes 5G: you're on 5G where the network offers it and on 4G/LTE elsewhere.
Every US plan also exits to the internet inside the United States, so websites and apps see a US IP address. Keep that in mind when you compare: the North America and Global 130 plans work in the US too, but their traffic exits in Belgium or in the UK and Norway.
How to choose an eSIM for the US
There's no plan that's right for every US trip, and we don't rank them. Four things separate the plans for the United States:
- Length of stay. Fixed plans run for 7, 10, 15, 30, 90 or 180 days. The day pass runs for as many days as you choose at checkout.
- Daily use. A short visit spent on maps, messaging and ride-hailing apps sits well on a small fixed plan. Steady use you'd rather not count suits the day pass. Heavy use, such as streaming or remote work, needs a large pool of full-speed data: the 30-day plans go up to 50 GB, and there's a 10-day plan with 100 GB.
- When the clock starts. On all US plans but one, the days start at the first connection in the US. The 100 MB 7-day plan starts at installation.
- Other countries. A US plan works only in the United States. Canada or Mexico on the same trip calls for a regional plan, covered below.
Top-ups don't separate them: every US plan on this page, fixed or day pass, can be topped up on the same eSIM.
Unlimited data in the US: how the day pass works
SIMAREA doesn't sell unlimited full-speed data for the US. What it sells instead is a day pass: 1 GB a day at full speed, then 512 Kbps until the day resets, when full speed comes back. You choose the number of days at checkout.
The pass runs on the same Verizon and AT&T networks as the fixed plans and exits in the US, so sites still see a US IP. Its days start at the first connection in the United States, and if the trip runs longer you can top it up on the same eSIM.
Over a week, 1 GB a day adds up to more data than any 7-day fixed plan carries, but only the first gigabyte of each day is at full speed. If your use comes in bursts, say a quiet day followed by a long video call, a fixed plan lets you spend its data unevenly; the day pass is for people who'd rather not count at all.
Fixed US plans for a week, a month or half a year
A fixed plan is a single amount of data for a set number of days. These are the sizes on sale for the United States on November 2, 2026:
- 7 days: 100 MB, 500 MB or 1 GB
- 10 days: 100 GB
- 15 days: 2 GB or 3 GB
- 30 days: 3 GB, 5 GB, 10 GB, 15 GB, 20 GB or 50 GB
- 90 days: 20 GB
- 180 days: 50 GB
All of them exit in the US on Verizon and AT&T. If the data runs out before the days do, every one can be topped up on the same eSIM; you don't install a second one. The 90-day and 180-day plans are the ones to look at for a semester, an internship or a long family visit.
Does a USA eSIM come with a US phone number?
No. SIMAREA's US plans are data only, like every eSIM it sells: no +1 number, no calls and no SMS on the eSIM.
If you need a US number during the trip, rent one separately: a US virtual number is a dedicated non-VoIP line you rent by the term, from 1 day to 12 months. It receives SMS from any sender, can't make calls or send texts, and keeps the same number when you renew.
The US with Canada, Mexico or Europe
US plans list one location, the United States, and stop working when you leave it. If the trip crosses a border:
- North America puts the United States, Canada and Mexico on one eSIM. In the US it uses the same Verizon and AT&T networks; in Canada it lists Rogers Wireless and in Mexico Movistar. Its traffic exits in Belgium, so sites see a Belgian IP rather than a US one. It has a day pass and fixed plans of 7 to 180 days.
- Global 130 covers the US together with Europe and Asia, the shape of a USA-and-Europe trip on one eSIM. In the US it lists Verizon only, and its traffic exits in the UK or Norway. Its fixed plans run from 7 to 365 days.
Puerto Rico and Guam aren't on the US plans, and each has its own page: Puerto Rico eSIM and Guam eSIM. Every other destination is in the country list.
USA eSIM: questions from visitors
Is there a separate eSIM for New York, Hawaii or California?
No. The US plans are sold for the United States as a whole, not by city or state: each one lists a single location, the United States, on Verizon and AT&T. There's no New York or Hawaii plan to pick. Whether you have signal in a particular place depends on where those two networks reach.
Does the US eSIM use T-Mobile?
No. As of November 2, 2026, every US plan lists Verizon and AT&T, and T-Mobile isn't one of its networks. After you select a plan, the Technical specs tab shows its networks.
Is it a prepaid eSIM?
Yes. You pay for the plan before you use it, from your SIMAREA balance, which you top up with cryptocurrency. There's no contract and nothing is billed afterward. When a fixed plan's data is gone, it stops until you top it up; a day pass slows down instead.
Which plan suits a one-week visit to the US?
The 7-day fixed plans carry 100 MB, 500 MB or 1 GB, which suits light use such as maps, email and messaging. If you'll stream, take video calls or share the connection as a hotspot (if the plan and the phone allow it), the day pass for seven days gives you 1 GB at full speed each day, then 512 Kbps. For ten days of heavy use there's a 10-day plan with 100 GB.
I'm flying in from the UK. Will my phone work with a US eSIM?
Yes, if it supports eSIM and isn't locked to your UK network. The eSIM runs alongside your UK SIM, so your UK number keeps receiving texts. Set mobile data to the eSIM and turn off data roaming on the UK SIM, so your home network doesn't charge you for data in the US.
Can I install the eSIM a few days before the flight?
Yes. On every US plan but one, the days start when the phone first connects to a network in the United States, so installing at home over Wi-Fi uses none of them. The exception is the 100 MB 7-day plan, which starts counting at installation: install that one when you're ready to use it.
My US trip was canceled. Can I get my money back?
Yes, if the eSIM hasn't been installed or connected yet: ask support within 30 days of purchase and you're refunded on request. An eSIM that has been installed or used can't be refunded, even if the phone turns out not to support it. If it's installed and won't connect on Verizon or AT&T, support (24/7) fixes it or refunds it. Details are in the refund policy.
