Find the trip that sounds like yours and the plan that fits it. - **A three-day city break in New York City:** 2 GB for 15 days is a good match for about 2.1 GB of standard use, which covers posting, navigating and playing music. - **A week-long business trip:** 5 GB for 30 days matches standard use over seven days, about 4.9 GB in all, including maps and messages. - **A two-week road trip:** 10 GB for 30 days suits standard use over 14 days, about 9.8 GB in all, so your maps stay on from one city to the next. - **A trip that takes in Canada:** the [USA & Canada](/esim/usa-and-canada) bundle covers both countries on one eSIM, so you won't need a second one at the border. Most plans can be topped up, so you can add data if your trip runs longer. ## Will my eSIM have signal in the United States? Your eSIM joins AT&T and Verizon across the United States, with 5G available in many places. Your phone picks between the two by itself, so you can land in New York City or Los Angeles and let it sort the signal for you. Cities and major highways are well covered. Signal can be patchy in national parks and remote rural areas, so save your maps offline before a road trip into the wild. Daily plans slow to a fair use speed once you've used that day's allowance, so pick your size with care. ## Using your phone in the United States: data tips - **Arriving:** Install your eSIM at home on Wi-Fi, using the [install guide](/help/install-esim-before-you-travel). Then land at JFK, LAX or Miami, switch it on, and turn on [data roaming](/help/turn-on-data-roaming) for the eSIM line. - **Getting around:** Book an Uber or Lyft in New York City, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Miami or San Francisco. Both apps need mobile data, so keep your eSIM switched on for the whole trip. - **Staying in touch:** Message friends on iMessage, Messenger or WhatsApp. Your home number stays on for calls and texts, so people can still reach you. - **Data for a week:** Light use like maps and messages is about 1.8 GB. Standard use, with social media, music and some video, is about 4.9 GB. - **Free Wi-Fi:** Many airports, hotels and cafés offer free Wi-Fi, though public networks often ask you to sign up first. Save your eSIM data for the moments you're out and about. ## Questions ### How much is an eSIM for the United States? United States eSIMs start at £3.99 for 100 MB over 7 days.

Cancel an eSIM you haven't installed within 30 days for a full refund to your card, in two taps from your eSIM page. ### Does Uber work with an eSIM at JFK or LAX? Yes. Once your eSIM is on, you can book Uber or Lyft from John F.

Yes. iMessage, WhatsApp and Messenger all run over mobile data, so your group chats keep moving in New York City, Las Vegas or San Francisco. ### Is there 5G in the United States on an eSIM? Yes. The United States has 5G, and your eSIM runs on AT&T and Verizon. If your phone supports 5G, you can use it on those networks during your trip. ### Do I need airport Wi-Fi at LAX if I have an eSIM? Not necessarily. Many airports, hotels and cafés offer free Wi-Fi, but public networks often ask you to sign up first, which is where mobile data saves you time. ### Can one eSIM cover the United States and Canada? Yes. Choose the USA & Canada option and one eSIM covers both countries, so you won't need to swap SIMs at the border for a road trip.
