🇺🇸 Best eSIM for United States
We hold verified pricing from Airalo, Virgin Connect Roam, Lebara Travel eSIM and co:sim for United States, starting at $2.99.
There is no single best eSIM for United States, only the best one for how long you're staying and how much you'll actually use. A three-night city break and a three-week trip want completely different plans, and the cheapest per gigabyte is almost never the cheapest for a specific trip.

Which network you'll actually be on
In United States these plans roam on T-Mobile. That matters more than the brand on the app, coverage, indoor signal and 5G access are the host network's, not the reseller's.
Before you buy
- Unlimited has a speed limit. Airalo's unlimited plans are widely reported to throttle around 3GB/day; Holafly's carrier fair-use sits around 3–5GB.
- Hotspot is capped separately. Holafly limits tethering to 1GB/day even on unlimited plans. If you're working off a laptop, that's disqualifying.
- Validity is wall-clock. A 7-day plan dies on day 7 whether you used it or not. Match the window to your trip, not your appetite.
- No phone number. Almost all travel eSIMs are data-only, so SMS verification codes won't arrive.
