Frequently Asked Questions

What is an eSIM?

An eSIM, or embedded Subscriber Identity Module, is a virtual SIM card integrated into devices like smartphones and smartwatches. Unlike physical SIM cards, eSIMs are programmed remotely, enabling easy network switching and activation without needing physical swaps. They offer flexibility for changing carriers and plans, convenient international travel connectivity, and the management of multiple numbers on one device. While not universally supported, eSIM technology reduces the reliance on physical cards and simplifies the user experience by allowing remote provisioning of cellular services.

How much does a USA eSIM cost?

A USA eSIM costs between $3.50 and $59 USD, depending on data and validity. ETravelSim's 1 GB / 30 days is $3.50, 5 GB / 30 days is $10, 10 GB / 15 days is $13, and truly unlimited 30 days is $59.

Does the USA eSIM include unlimited data?

Yes. ETravelSim offers truly unlimited USA eSIM plans for 7, 10, 15, and 30 days. You get 4 GB per day at full 5G/LTE speed, then unlimited usage at 1 Mbps. The 4 GB daily allowance refreshes every 24 hours.

Is the USA eSIM really unlimited? What is the fair-use policy?

Yes — there is no monthly cap. The fair-use policy is 4 GB per day at full 5G speed, then unlimited browsing at 1 Mbps. This is higher than Holafly's 3 GB/day and Airalo's 3 GB/day full-speed allowances.

Which carriers does the USA eSIM use?

ETravelSim's USA eSIM connects to T-Mobile and AT&T (5G/LTE). Data + Calls plans are powered by Lycamobile, which uses T-Mobile's network and provides a real US +1 number.

Can I get a US phone number with an eSIM?

Yes. ETravelSim's USA Data + Calls plans (12 GB, 30 GB, 50 GB at $24, $30, $36 for 30 days) include a real US +1 number with free incoming calls and unlimited US-to-US outgoing calls. No other major travel eSIM offers this.

Can I use hotspot/tethering on the USA eSIM?

Hotspot is supported on limited-data plans (1 GB to 50 GB). Hotspot is not supported on unlimited plans. Use a limited plan if you need to share data with a laptop or tablet.

Does the USA eSIM cover Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico?

The eSIM works across the continental USA via T-Mobile and AT&T. Coverage in Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico depends on the underlying carrier roaming agreement — confirm with support before traveling. (See: customer support, response in <60 sec.)

Does the USA eSIM support 5G?

Yes. All ETravelSim USA plans support 5G where T-Mobile or AT&T 5G is available, with automatic LTE fallback.

When should I activate my USA eSIM?

Install the eSIM before you travel by scanning the QR code from your email. The validity period only starts when the eSIM connects to a US network — usually after you land. Do not delete the profile after install.

How long does USA eSIM activation take?

Activation is instant — the QR code is emailed within 60 seconds of purchase. Installation on iPhone or Android takes about 2 minutes. The plan timer starts when your phone connects to T-Mobile or AT&T in the USA.

Will the USA eSIM work on my iPhone?

The USA eSIM works on iPhone XR, XS, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 (all variants) and SE 2020/2022. It does not work on Chinese-market iPhones, which lack eSIM hardware.

Will the USA eSIM work on my Android?

Yes, on all eSIM-capable Android phones — Samsung Galaxy S20 onwards, Pixel 3 onwards, recent OnePlus, Motorola Razr, Xiaomi 13/14, and others. Carrier-locked Samsungs from China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, or South Korea (except S23+, S24, S25) typically do not support eSIM.

Can I keep my home number active while using the USA eSIM?

Yes. eSIM-enabled phones support dual-SIM, so your home SIM remains active for calls and texts while ETravelSim's USA eSIM provides data (and a US number on Data + Calls plans). Set ETravelSim as the default mobile data line in Settings.

What happens if I run out of data on a limited plan?

You can top up the same eSIM with a recharge plan from etravelsim.com without removing or reinstalling the profile. Recharge is processed in minutes.

What happens after my plan validity ends?

The eSIM stops providing data when validity expires. You can either delete the profile or top up with another USA plan to keep using the same line.

Can I use the same eSIM for a future USA trip?

Yes, if you top up before the validity expires, the same profile is reusable. If validity expired, you may need a new plan; contact support to keep the same line.

Does the USA eSIM include calls and SMS?

Data-only plans include only mobile data. Data + Calls plans (12 GB / 30 GB / 50 GB at $24 / $30 / $36) include a US +1 number, free incoming calls, unlimited US-to-US calls, and SMS.

Is ETravelSim's USA eSIM cheaper than roaming?

Yes — international roaming on AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile typically costs $10–$16 per day. ETravelSim's 1 GB plan is $3.50 for 30 days, and unlimited is $59 for 30 days — over 80% cheaper than carrier roaming for a 2-week US trip.
