Travellers on their United States trip
4.7average ratingThe dog on the confirmation email made me laugh. Small thing but it's why I remembered the brand enough to buy again.
Bought at 7pm, flew at 6am, connected by 10am local. No drama.
Spent two weeks in Spain posting far too many stories and never once thought about data. My old provider would have charged me the price of a flight for that.
Using your eSIM in United States
Where the connection matters most, what to expect from coverage, and the ten minutes of prep that make the first day easy.
New York, Los Angeles and the big cities
Excellent coverage, and data does most of the work: transit, rideshare, restaurant waitlists and tickets.
National parks and the desert Southwest
Expect long stretches with nothing at all. Download the park and the surrounding state before you drive in.
Interstate road trips
Signal follows the interstates reliably and disappears on the scenic detours, which are usually the point of the trip.
What to expect from coverage in United States
Urban and interstate coverage is strong. Rural mountain, desert and plains routes have genuine dead zones on every US network, so plan around them rather than expecting a fix.
Hotel and cafe wifi is widespread, which pairs well with unlimited data for the parts in between.
- Install before you fly
Scan at home over wifi. Your days start when the eSIM first connects in the US.
- Download whole states
For a driving trip, save states rather than cities. It is the single best defence against a dead zone.
- Share the connection
Hotspot sharing is included, so a laptop or a second phone works off the same plan.

United States eSIM FAQs
How much does an eSIM for United States cost?
rufly United States eSIM plans start from €19.99. Every plan includes unlimited data with an honest fair-usage policy, and 10% of your order helps street dogs get fed, treated and housed.
Does the United States eSIM have unlimited data?
Yes. Every rufly United States plan is unlimited data with a clear, honest fair-usage policy, so you can map, stream and stay in touch without watching a data counter.
Will my phone work with the United States eSIM?
The United States eSIM connects to trusted local networks in United States, giving you the same coverage a local SIM would. Most phones released from 2019 onward support eSIM, including every iPhone since the XR and most flagship Android phones. You can check yours with our free compatibility checker before you buy.
How do I install my United States eSIM?
After checkout we email you a QR code. Scan it over wifi before you fly, then switch the eSIM on when you land in United States and you're connected in seconds, with no airport SIM queues.
When should I activate my United States eSIM?
Install the eSIM any time before your trip, then turn on data roaming for the eSIM once you arrive in United States. Your plan validity starts when the eSIM first connects to a local network.
Is an eSIM cheaper than roaming in United States?
Almost always, yes. Home carriers bill roaming by the day or by the megabyte outside their included zones, and a single trip can cost more than the whole eSIM. A rufly United States plan is one flat price from €19.99 for unlimited data, so you know the total before you fly and there is no bill waiting when you get home.
Can I share my United States eSIM with a laptop or another phone?
Yes. Hotspot sharing is included on every rufly plan, with no separate daily hotspot allowance to ration, so a laptop, a tablet or a travel partner can work off the same connection. Only the standard fair-usage policy applies to very heavy sustained use.
Will the United States eSIM work outside the main cities?
It connects to the same local networks a local SIM would, so coverage in United States matches what residents get: strong in cities and along main road and rail routes, thinner on mountain roads, remote countryside and long tunnels. Save your maps offline for those stretches and the gaps stop mattering.
Do I keep my own phone number with a United States eSIM?
Yes. The rufly eSIM sits alongside your normal SIM, so calls and texts still arrive on your usual number while all data runs over the travel plan. You simply leave data roaming off for your home line and on for the eSIM.
What happens when my United States plan runs out?
The plan just ends. Nothing renews, there is nothing to cancel and no top-up to buy. If your trip is extended, buy another United States plan and install it the same way, and your original phone number is unaffected throughout.
