Landing at JFK, LAX or Orlando and need data before you reach the baggage belt? A GetSimfinity eSIM for the USA lets you buy online, scan a QR code and connect as soon as you arrive, with no airport kiosk and no roaming bill.
Why use an eSIM in the USA
US roaming packs from home carriers are often priced per day, and local prepaid SIMs usually mean finding a store and showing ID. An eSIM moves the whole process online. You choose the data and the number of days, install it from a QR code, and your phone connects when you arrive.
- Set up before you fly. Install on Wi-Fi at home and skip the queue.
- Keep your home number. Your regular SIM stays active for calls and verification codes while the eSIM carries your data.
- Plans sized to your trip. From a one-week 1 GB plan to 30-day plans, plus daily Unlimited plans for 3 to 30 days.
- Calls and SMS option. Some plans bundle local minutes and SMS with data. See the full range on the United States plans page.

Coverage varies by location, and rural areas and national parks can have weaker signal on any network. Open the plan page for the full details before you buy.
Fixed data or Unlimited?
Fixed-data plans suit most visitors. A 1 GB plan covers a week of maps, messaging and email. The 5 GB and 10 GB plans handle navigation, ride-hailing and social media across a road trip, and the 20 GB plan suits remote work and video calls. Unlimited plans are sold by the day and make sense if you stream, hotspot or just do not want to watch your data. Check the plan page for fair-use details first.
How to install your USA eSIM
- Confirm compatibility. Your phone needs eSIM support and must be unlocked.
- Order your plan. Your activation details, including a QR code, arrive after checkout.
- Install the eSIM. iPhone: Settings, Cellular (or Mobile Service), Add eSIM, then scan the code. Android: Settings, Network and internet, SIMs, Add eSIM. Wording differs between brands.
- Name the line. Call it USA so it is easy to spot.
- Connect on arrival. Choose the eSIM for mobile data, enable data roaming on that line if prompted, and switch mobile data off on your home SIM.
Compatible phones
Most iPhones from the XS and XR (2018) onward, Google Pixel 3 and newer, and many recent Samsung Galaxy phones support eSIM. A carrier-locked phone can reject a third-party eSIM. Run our Compatibility Checker before buying.
USA eSIM FAQ
Do I get a US phone number?
Data-only plans do not include a number. Some plans include local calls and SMS, so check the plan name and details. For chat, messaging apps work on any plan.
Can I use it for a multi-city trip?
Yes. The plans are for the United States, so one eSIM covers a trip across cities and states.
Can I share data with my laptop?
Hotspot rules depend on the plan, so check the plan page. Larger fixed-data plans are the better fit if you tether.
Can I add more data later?
Plans are rechargeable online where the plan page shows a top-up option.
