Each Checkout link opens payment with that plan selected: only the email address and payment remain.

## How it works

1. Choose a plan and pay on the product page (card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal or crypto).
2. The eSIM QR code arrives by email; install it before you travel (Settings > Mobile/Cellular > Add eSIM).
3. On arrival, select the eSIM for mobile data and turn on data roaming for it. Your own SIM stays in the phone for calls and SMS.

Data-only: the eSIM has no phone number. Requires an eSIM-compatible, carrier-unlocked phone.

## 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 network 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 network 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.

## The ESTA, for a British passport

You need an approved ESTA or a visa to enter or even transit the US, and you need an e-passport to use the Visa Waiver Program. The ESTA costs 40.27 US dollars, rising to 40.62 on 16 October 2026 - apply only on the official US government site. If your existing ESTA does not include the selfie photo US Customs and Border Protection now requires, you may need a new one. Your passport must be valid for the whole stay (gov.uk, updated 18 August 2026).

At the border, officers may ask to inspect your devices, messages and social media. There are no special healthcare arrangements for British visitors and treatment is expensive, so travel insurance with medical cover matters. Cash over 10,000 dollars must be reported to CBP.

## Flights and time zones from the UK

Heathrow alone has more than 20 departures a day to New York JFK, about seven and three-quarter to eight and a quarter hours, plus non-stops to Boston, Newark, Chicago, Miami, Orlando, Los Angeles and San Francisco. New York is five hours behind the UK and Los Angeles eight - except for one week in autumn (25 October to 1 November 2026) when the gap shrinks by an hour, because the UK changes its clocks first. Sockets are flat-pin types A and B at 120 volts; bring an adaptor and check your chargers.

## FAQ

### 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 network - 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.

### How much is an ESTA from the UK?

40.27 US dollars, rising to 40.62 on 16 October 2026, on the official US government site (US Federal Register notice of 1 October 2026).
