Heading to the United States? A US eSIM is the easiest way to get mobile data the moment you land — no roaming charges, no hunting for a SIM card at the airport. Here is everything you need to know.

Which networks does a US eSIM use?

Turnaa’s United States eSIM connects to major US carriers — AT&T and Verizon — with 5G where available. Your phone automatically picks the strongest signal, so you get dependable coverage across cities and most travel routes.

How much data do I need?

  • Light use (maps, messaging, email): 1–3 GB for a week.
  • Regular use (social media, browsing, some streaming): 5–10 GB.
  • Heavy use or longer stays: an unlimited daily plan is the safest bet.

Turnaa’s US plans start at $2.99, including unlimited-data options.

How to set up your US eSIM

  1. Pick a plan and check out — your QR code is emailed in seconds.
  2. Open Settings › Cellular › Add eSIM and scan the QR.
  3. Set it as your data line. You are online.

Tip: install it before you fly (you need internet to set it up), then just switch it on when you land.

Frequently asked questions

Will I keep my phone number? Yes — the eSIM is data-only and runs alongside your home SIM, so your number still works for calls and texts.

When does the plan start? Most plans start when the eSIM first connects to a network in the US, not when you buy — so you can set it up early.

Can I top up? Yes — just buy another plan if you run low.
