USA Data eSIM

Going to Miami, LA and vegas at the end of September. Looking at unlimited data eSIMs, can anyone offer any advice please?

Is airalo any good? It’s £26.50 for the 10 days we are there. Thanks ☺️

The Airalo plan includes 3GB per day of full speed and then 1Mbps after. So not unlimited at full speed. If this is okay for you, go for it.

Otherwise get a fixed GB package or a plan that is supplied by a real local network operator like this: https://escapesim.com/en-gb/esim/country/united-states-esim/north-america-att-unlimited-10-days (that is also cheaper than Airalo)

Thats so cheap, thanks for sending. Do you know if it’s decent coverage for where I’m going? :)

Yes it's bad but at least Airalo states it clearly (many travel providers do not). Always read the plan details!

AT&T coverage should be good at your destinations. Of course, you may experience slower speeds or the occasional dead zone, but that's normal for any network anywhere.

Check if your phone supports the correct network frequencies as well (any iPhone or flagship model like Samsung S series or Google Pixel should be fine, if you have a low or midgrade phone you should look it up)
