A local SIM card can be useful for tourists in the USA, especially if you plan to actively use mobile data and calls. However, by using an eSIM, you can avoid a physical SIM card while still getting access to local data plans.
Internet speed in the USA with eSIM depends on the carrier and your location. In major cities like New York or Los Angeles, you can expect fast 4G or even 5G speeds, depending on your device and supported bands.
Most modern smartphones support eSIM, but it is important to check your device specifications. Make sure your phone is unlocked and supports the frequency bands used by US carriers such as AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon.
In major tourist cities such as New York, Los Angeles, Miami, and San Francisco, mobile internet coverage is good and includes 4G and 5G. However, in less populated and rural areas, coverage may be limited.
You can activate eSIM in the USA by following the instructions from your carrier or eSIM provider, usually by scanning a QR code. Using eSIM is often more cost-effective than roaming because it lets you use local data and call plans, which can significantly reduce your expenses.

Smooth checkout, QR in about two minutes. Not a single dropout during the trip.
Third purchase here. Pay, scan, go — still works every time.
Couldn't find the QR setting on my Samsung at first. Support replied quickly and walked me through it.
First time using an eSIM — the email guide got me set up in three minutes.
My main SIM stayed in place, bank SMS kept coming while data went through the eSIM. Handy.
