Networks used by United States eSIMs
Each plan connects to the networks listed on its page, so you choose your carrier before you buy. Coverage varies by area: a listed network does not guarantee signal everywhere.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a USA eSIM also work in Canada and Mexico?
Only if the plan covers them. USA plans work in the United States; North America plans cover the US, Canada and Mexico on one eSIM. The country list on each plan page shows exactly where it works, so pick a regional plan if your trip crosses a border.

When should I install and activate my USA eSIM?
Install it before you fly, on Wi-Fi, by scanning the QR code or in the MobiMatter app. When you land, turn the eSIM line on, set it for mobile data and turn on data roaming for that line. If it doesn't connect, restart your phone and check that the eSIM is selected for mobile data.

Is eSIM available in the US?
Yes. AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile all support eSIM, and iPhone models sold in the US since the iPhone 14 have no SIM tray at all. Travel eSIMs for the US connect to these same networks, so a phone bought elsewhere works as long as it supports eSIM and is unlocked.

Can I use my UK phone in the USA, or is an eSIM cheaper?
Yes. Your UK phone will work on US networks, but the USA is outside the Europe roaming zone, so most UK plans charge a daily fee or need a pass, and only some higher-tier plans include it. Three, for example, lists £8 per 24 hours there for customers who joined from 18 December 2025, which adds up quickly on a two-week trip. Check what your plan includes in your carrier's app, then compare that with the plans on this page.

Is it worth getting an eSIM for United States?
For most travellers, yes, if your phone supports eSIM. United States plans start at $3.49 for 2 GB, and the longest lasts 365 days, which suits long stays and repeat visits. If your home plan already covers United States at no extra cost, you may not need one.
Which networks do United States eSIMs use?
United States eSIMs on MobiMatter run on Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, and U.S. Cellular; 5G plans are available on Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile. Verizon carries the most plans. Each plan names its network, so you choose your carrier before you buy.

For United States alone, our top plan right now is 50 GB for 30 days at $39.99 from eSIMGo. If United States is one stop of several, the top multi-country plan is 20 GB for 30 days at $16.99 from Three Hong Kong, covering 2 countries.
How much data do I need for a week in United States?
It depends on how you use your phone. Light use (maps, messaging, browsing) takes about 0.5–1 GB a day; scrolling a lot of social video can take 2–3 GB or more. Typical use per hour:
- Instagram Reels, TikTok: 0.3–1 GB

Mentions United StatesAwesome service. I have traveled back-and-forth between the United States and the Philippines and this app has not let me down. I strongly suggest that you check your data roaming option so this way you don’t mess up what you need to do.

I had an issue with my eSIM and the customer service team was amazing. Super responsive, patient and were able to resolve my issue. I was worried when my eSIM wasn’t working I would get ghosted, but within a few hours I was emailing back and forth with their support team.

Purchased eSIM in Australia and set it up in Azerbaijan. Having never used an eSIM before, I had a few ‘user issues’. These were sorted out very quickly via email and me sending a screen shot of my ‘attempted’ setup. Technician got back to me in very short order with some simple instructions and now all good. Great efficient service.
