The eSIM works in:

Top up anytime

Need more data? Buy a top-up anytime. If your current data plan is still active, your top-up will be queued and automatically activated when your plan runs out or expires. If your plan has already expired or you’ve used up all your data, the top-up will activate immediately after purchase. No need to buy or install a new eSIM for the same destination—just top up and stay connected.

Available top-ups:
1 GB - valid for 7 days, £2.50
3 GB - valid for 30 days, £5.50
5 GB - valid for 30 days, £7.00
10 GB - valid for 30 days, £12.00
20 GB - valid for 30 days, £16.00
50 GB - valid for 30 days, £36.10

Data-only plan - keep your usual phone number

WonderConnect eSIMs provide mobile internet only. This means you won’t get a local phone number and can't make traditional phone calls or send SMS. However, you can stay connected using apps like Messenger, WhatsApp, and others to make and receive voice and video calls.

Use eSIM as a mobile hotspot

Share your data with other devices and people. Most modern smartphones support a hotspot feature. Simply enable it in your device’s settings, and your phone will function like a Wi-Fi router.

Device switching
Switching devices: Possible

You can move this eSIM to another device.
If you want to move your eSIM to a different device:
1. Remove the eSIM from your current device (in its settings).
2. Install it on the new device using the same QR code or activation code.
The eSIM can only be active on one device at a time - always remove it from the old device first.

Eco-friendly solution reducing plastic waste

eSIM technology eliminates the need to swap traditional SIM cards. By choosing eSIMs for your trips, you help reduce plastic waste and energy required for manufacturing, packaging, and shipping.

Stay Connected During Your USA Trip

Skip Roaming Fees

If you're traveling to the US from Europe, be aware of high roaming charges. The "roam like home" rule doesn't apply across the ocean. An eSIM with prepaid data is a safe and reliable way to stay connected. You pay upfront for what you use. No surprise bills.
Sarah M. - Germany
"Traveled to New York for 10 days. Kept my German number for banking and family calls while the eSIM handled all my data. Google Maps, Uber, everything worked perfectly. Exactly what I needed."

Install Now, Use Later

We recommend buying your eSIM before you fly to America. Install it at home, without any rush. You can always reach out to our support team in the app. You're prepared in advance, and when you land just turn on the eSIM, switch on data roaming, and your phone connects to AT&T or Verizon automatically.
Marco P. - Italy
"Installed the eSIM two days before my flight to LA. The moment I landed, I turned off airplane mode, activated the eSIM, and followed the guide in the app. I had internet within minutes. Much easier than my last trip when I wasted time looking for American SIM card shops."

Use Maps, Uber, WhatsApp Like at Home

The WonderConnect eSIM works just like your mobile data plan from your carrier at home. Use your favorite apps as usual. Share trip highlights on Instagram, video call home on WhatsApp, search for the best coffee spots in Manhattan, or book tickets to a Broadway show.

FAQ About United States eSIM

wonders

Can I use a USA eSIM in Canada?

No, a USA eSIM will not work in Canada. To use mobile data in Canada, you need to buy a Canada eSIM or a North America regional eSIM, which works in the USA, Canada, Mexico, and Puerto Rico with a single eSIM.

wonders

Is it worth getting an eSIM for the USA?

If your home carrier doesn't offer free or cheap roaming - then yes. In most cases, you will pay less for a 10 GB eSIM data plan than you would pay for 10 GB of data roaming. Many carriers (this may vary by the country you live in) charge you per each STARTED GB. It means that even if you used 1.2 GB, you will pay for 2 GB. With a prepaid eSIM, you pay upfront for the amount of gigabytes you choose. We will notify you about your data usage, and you can always buy more. Even when you use the entire data plan, you can still top up the eSIM, so you don't have to make any decision upfront. Go to the US and see how much data you're using.

wonders

How to purchase eSIM USA?

You can either make a purchase on this website or download the WonderConnect app and finalize the purchase there. Scroll up and select one of the data plans. Click "Buy now" to continue to checkout. There, we will ask you to select a payment method and create an account. Your eSIM is available immediately after the purchase - you will receive an email with a QR code for installation.

wonders

How to get mobile data in the US if I can't use eSIM?

If your phone doesn't support eSIMs, check these options:

Contact your carrier and ask for special roaming offers. Make sure you know the rates upfront and ask about preventing extra charges by blocking data transfer after an agreed threshold. If roaming fees are acceptable, this might be the option for you.

Buy a local SIM card. But instead of doing it at the airport (where starter packs are often more expensive), go to a local store - it can be a local carrier store if you want to discuss the details and compare offers, or 7-Eleven, Walmart, CVS, Target, and the majority of stores and gas stations. An American SIM card comes with a local phone number.

wonders

How to get a US eSIM outside the US?

You can buy an eSIM that will work in the US online. We will deliver it immediately to your email. Our eSIMs are data-only. It means you will get a mobile data plan that works across the states, but you won't have a local number. You can complete purchase now and install the eSIM before the trip.

wonders

Who should consider getting an eSIM for the United States?

United States eSIM is for tourists, road-trippers, and business travelers visiting American destinations like New York, California, or Florida. Having a dedicated data package gives your phone mobile internet access to call ride-shares, navigate driving routes on maps, and use messaging apps without taking out your primary physical SIM card.

wonders

Do I need to submit an ID card, passport photo, or complete registration?

No identity verification steps, passport photo uploads, or official account registrations are required prior to purchasing your eSIM. Simply select your data volume online, complete checkout, and scan the delivered QR code to configure cellular data on your device.

You can purchase your USA eSIM online via WonderConnect right before departure. After completing payment, your digital QR code is delivered instantly by email or through the mobile app, allowing you to install the eSIM onto your phone in a few minutes before boarding your flight.

wonders

Can I buy an eSIM while I'm already in United States?

Yes! You can purchase your travel eSIM even after arriving at your destination. The only difference from buying it before your trip is that we'll guide you to activate it immediately, allowing you to connect to a local network right away.

With travel eSIM you decide when to buy it - either before the travels, on the go using WonderConnect app, or after you arrive at your destination.

wonders

When does my eSIM plan start?

Usually, an eSIM plan starts when you first connect to mobile data at your destination.
You can install the eSIM anytime - even weeks before your trip. Installation does not start the validity period (unless you bought an eSIM for your home country; or a package that includes coverage for your home country. Example: Europe → Germany).

The countdown begins when your eSIM connects to a supported mobile network. For this to happen, your eSIM must be turned on and selected as your mobile data line.

wonders

Can I use eSIM on my phone?

To use an eSIM, your device needs to be eSIM-compatible and carrier-unlocked. If you find your phone on our compatibility list, it most likely supports eSIM technology. In some cases, eSIM compatibility depends on where your phone model was manufactured. That's why we advise you to check our list before you buy one of our United States eSIM plans.

Carrier-unlocked means your home carrier (your mobile service provider) isn't restricting your phone from connecting to other networks. While carrier locks are becoming less common, if you're unsure, it's best to contact your provider. Just ask if they allow the use of digital SIM cards/eSIMs. If they do, you're free to avoid high roaming costs and enjoy affordable eSIM mobile data!
