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.

The USA is a country of big cities, stunning national parks, and endless highways. To stay connected and make the most of your smartphone, you need a stable internet connection. The eSIM from Vlex eSIM lets you forget about the hassle of roaming and searching for local SIM cards.
Roaming in the USA with Russian mobile operators can be quite expensive. Local SIM cards take time to buy and activate, especially if you’re not familiar with local plans and conditions. With an eSIM from Vlex eSIM you get internet access right upon arrival — no extra hassle and no lines.
If you plan to spend 7–14 days in the USA and actively use the internet for navigation, social media, and work, we recommend a 5–10 GB package. For heavier usage, including streaming video and video calls, choose a 20 GB or unlimited package. To calculate the exact amount of data you need, use our calculator on the homepage.
eSIM is supported by many modern devices, such as: iPhone XS and newer, Samsung Galaxy S20 and above, Google Pixel 3+, Huawei P40 Pro, and others. Make sure your device is not carrier-locked (unlocked) before purchasing an eSIM.
