Turns off and doesn’t work every so often. They’re very difficult to contact. Don’t recommend use a different one.
Worked great in USA but data goes through Hong Kong so no ChatGPT or TikTok. I would get 300 mbs when doing Speedtest
It works but traffic goes through Hong Kong so you'll get latency and China's censorship (no ChatGPT or TikTok).
Support response was "get a VPN", so totally useless
I purchased this eSIM for my trip to the US and was satisfied with the ease of installation and the very affordable price. However, I encountered some issues with data traffic being routed through Hong Kong, causing latency and blocking some services like TikTok and ChatGPT. When I reached out to support, they seemed surprised and went on the defensive, rather than offering a helpful solution. It would have been helpful if this was clearly stated on the website and if support was more knowledgeable and proactive in addressing the issue. Overall, the service was easy to use, but these issues impacted my overall experience.
Terrible decision I made purchasing internet from him. Also this guys supports terrorism please be aware
Uses Hong Kong IPs, some .gov sites and Amazon cloudfront sites don't work, but TOR works to bypass without a bridge. Only complaint is that it was initially advertised as all three carriers, but they seemed to switch their roaming policies so I only get T-Mobile/Verizon and sometimes Verizon doesn't work. Maybe some carriers are LAC locked, but I would have another eSIM with permanent data to use other carriers in a pinch if you need. They are also a new provider so their rates/policies change quick.
Used Yoho twice in the last month for jaunts into the US. Cheap plans that work great for my needs. I am not normally streaming, but downloading music, maps,
research on the fly…
Had an issue with the eSIM not being formed, but relogging in solved it.
Only the payment system works, price was debited from my card but then I just get "unknown error manufacturing esim".
Support does not respond.
Seems to be a scammer website, pity that they are listed here.
No issues in the US. I bought 7 eSIMs and we activated them without any problems upon arrival. In fact, one person ended up not traveling, so I contacted their customer service, and within 24 hours they replied and refunded me for the unused eSIM. A perfect 10/10.
Used it multiple times. First time the activation email arrived in my spam inbox and I was panicking. Activation process requires a few more steps than with other providers but very easy process good to follow.
Last time I activated the eSIM before I left europe, and my United flight had free internet for T-Mobile users, and the phone number I got for this Esim worked as well!
For a Google Pixel 8, I bought the unlimited national US package by USA eSIM and I can only say it worked flawlessly. I'm from Europe and the eSIM was released and made available even before we left Europe, so when I was in JFK airport I had access.
I will admit, I was a little nervous this was a scam, but I really can't complain. T-Mobile network, flawless delivery via email and directly on the phone, unlimited data - also via hotspot and tethering, and I've not been subject to any throttling. Your Internet access point is directly on T-Mobiles network and not via Hong Kong, like the rest of the cheap options.
All in all, if you need data access on your phone in the US, this seriously the best deal you may find.
5G everywhere good price, you can use the chatgpt and others with vpn easy !!
As a UK resident travelling to the US for family visits and tourism, I purchased the 15-day unlimited data plan from iRoamly. To My surprise, it genuinely offered unlimited usage the only minor issue was slight initial connection latency (possibly due to roaming handover). As a heavy user of YT and TT with high data demands, this plan exceeded my expectations. Having visited the US multiple times, this is the first truly reliable unlimited eSIM I've encountered. Highly recommended!!
I have used USA eSIM a number of times for myself and family travelling to the US. Great customer service via email and T-Mobile coverage for both data and calls is reliable. Also allows for wifi connectivity on some US airlines, when flying in the US, which I found very handy on the American Airlines and Alaska Airline flights I took.
I suggest setting the eSIM activation to occur prior to your departure where you have access to Wifi/mobile data, to allow activation to successfully occur, or connect to wifi at your destination prior to attempting to activate your eSIM.
**BE WARNED**
Was about to purchase x3 eSIMs for USA when I saw this.
"Please note that TikTok, ChatGPT, and Gemini are not supported with this eSIM."
It states this for ALL their USA eSIMs.
I looked up Australia & France and there doesn't seem to have the same restrictions. Hong Kong doesn't, however they use CSL which I've used before and they restrict access to Western TikTok
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED
Attractive prices, easy to install and fast speed internet. Worked straight away
Very good but Polish IP so I had to use a VPN for some functions.
I used this eSIM for a recent trip to the US, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. As a first-time eSIM user, I was a bit nervous about the setup, but installation was incredibly easy and straightforward. The connection was super fast and reliable the entire time. I’m already planning to use them again for my upcoming trip to Thailand. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a good and simple solution!
Excellent experience, very good coverage, easy use and seamless operation.
They no longer issue eSIMs from Webbing, with the internet breakout being Webbing's servers in Dallas, TX. They now issue eSIMs from Drei (3 Austria), with the internet breakout being Working Group Two's servers in the UK near London. In addition to that, it seems Drei's roaming agreements with Verizon has a lower priority QCI level compared to Plus and Webbing, and so this isn't the best option for me anymore.
Very good service, sometime switch to 4G but speed is good . We can switch operator and find 5G is need. Price is very low
it barely worked, I mainly could use it for apple car play for everything else I had to wait to be in wifi for it to be usable, whatsapp didn't work well, disney app didn't work either, photos app, or searching anything in google was super slow
Can’t activate, seems like a scam as just gives an error all the time like the previous review.
Worked pretty well. The provider they use for the US is Webbing, and internet breakout is through Webbing's servers in Dallas / Fort Worth in Texas. However, I bought these plans in January and February... I see a more recent review state that their plan had the internet breakout be in Europe, presumably Poland (via Plus). I'm not sure if that's a mistake on Always Mobile's part or something, but it's definitely worth emailing them ahead of time to check and make sure they didn't switch their US plans to using Plus instead of Webbing.
Bought because listed as low latency with US breakout. Data works, but latency is not low and IP is in Europe.
What I loved most was the truly unlimited data with no hidden restrictions. The price was also the most affordable I could find—way better than airport or carrier options. Plus, it includes unlimited calls and texts, which made it super convenient for contacting hotels and using ride-sharing apps.
CAN NOT ACTIVATE
No show for customer service after multiple emails.
I tested a few esim providers for myself and Esim4Travel was one of them. Easy to install and use, no issues. Just read the description and check if the network operator has coverage where you plan to go and you'll be fine. Very good price, would buy again.
Side note: Like with most other esims, traffic is routed through another country (it was Poland for me), so ping was 100-350ms but I had no issues with that (just like most people).
Used MicroEsim in the US with no issues. I always had reception. More affordable compared to many other providers.
Side note: Like with most esims, traffic gets routed through another country (in my case Poland with Polish IP). Expect ping of up to 350ms (in my case). Most tourists/travelers will have no issues with this.
It was nice to have connections all over the places I visited in the USA It was really easy and fast to install it was really easy and fast to install, the connection was great and the fact that you get unlimited data for such a great price actually works fast makes it so much better than the usual sim you would buy at the airport where you only get a few gigabytes.
Ran on AT&T in US and speeds were poor ~ 5Mbps down / 0.05Mbps up with 500 + ms latency. Data traffic is routed through Israel which is why the latency is so high from within the US.
I used Jetpac eSim for my family and myself on a two week trip trough USA and Canada and it worked without any hiccups. Deploying the eSim to all mobile phones (iPhones) was no problem and the network was good in all situations. None of us complained about slow network speeds and sometimes the kids turned to the mobile network for gaming instead of slow hotel WiFi. We had to buy a new package once and it was booked directly to the right phone with no issue.
From the beginning, I only had problems with Airhub. I bought a 10-day Unlimited Data package for the USA via their app. When ordering in the app, I redeemed a 7% voucher and the total in the shopping cart was adjusted. The full price was charged to a credit card. When I asked support, I received neither an apology nor a refund of the discount. Well...
Much worse: on the very first day of use, I received a text message from T-Mobile saying that I had already used up 50% of my purchased 12GB of data. Outraged, I wrote to support with a screenshot showing that I had bought Unlimited Data. Support replied that I should ignore these messages, I had Unlimited Data. Okay?
No sooner said than done, today I have now reached 100% of the 12GB and can no longer use the Internet. So I was sold 12GB as Unlimited and the support is brazenly lying to me.
This place is a big scam. Avoid it at all costs!
5GB of the 35GB in the year is for social media app. So you know the Hong Kong ISP is able to identify which app you are using.
What I find is that riding share App like Lyft (I didn't try uber) cannot connect to the internet under this esim. I tried it on both iphone and android phone, same issue. Once connected to VPN or airport wifi, the issue will be gone. I guess it's due to Riding share App like Uber/Lyft are illegal in Hongkong. Complained to Mobimatter about this issue. The customer service are quite difficult to follow my debug, give up.
The rest works OK, fastest speed is 4G but enough for me. The rest of internet service went well.
I managed to get internet, it wasn't perfect, but it did the job. However, the downside is that there's no way to check the available balance. They tell you that your phone has to keep track of the MB used, which isn't always the same as what they register.
Searching for a suitable data-only eSIM for the USA feels like a black art. Confidently finding one that offers a good service, good GB and price per GB, and that is valid for the right duration feels almost impossible. However, my search led me to ESCAPeSIM (an Australian-owned eSIM provider), offering 30GB for 60 days at 35.99AUD (£18.63). Sounded too good to be true. How could I be sure they would connect to the right networks, offer 4G/5G and all without throttling at that price? I emailed them for support and their reply was speedy, informative and encouraging (T-Mobile and Verizon, 4G/5G with no throttling), with a follow-up query also responded to swiftly. Their website also provided easy to follow instructions on how to activate the eSIM. The only issue for some might be their choice of a Polish mobile operator possibly resulting in a bit of latency, though none that bothered us. My experience to date? Apart from remembering and working out how to enable data roaming(Doh!), ESCAPeSIM has worked perfectly to date. What's not to like?
bought 5GB but after use 3.2GB in the US, the rest of data cannot be used any more. dont't find the support button at that time and it is wasted. the webpage of esim4travel will freeze sometimes.
later bought another US/Canada data plan and it is better because price per GB is higher but compated with another hongkong plan I bought later, it is still too slow in speed. 4G shows and no LTE for no 5G phones in esin4travel esim.
I bought Airhub eSIM for USA & Albania & my experience is good, in starting I faced minor challenges to active Albania eSIM but Airhub support team guide me and i could use it.
There was additional benefit with Airhub that I asked to extend my plan validity & they gimme additional off there, i used coupon "foryou".
Thanks esimdb & airhub.
I needed eSIM that works with Verizon (best coverage for Yellowstone and Grand Canyon)... This one simply didn't work with it - they 'had technically difficulties'.
Also all traffic was routed through Poland that added extra delays.
Please don't cheap-out and buy from reputable providers.
Poor reception and response times in USA, totally non-functional in Canada - have had to abandon the service and buy another eSim from a different supplier. Support was responsive but unable to fix or provide a refund. I would not recommend this provider and would not use again.

Are there any unlimited data eSIM plans available for United States of America?
Yes, several eSIM providers offer unlimited data plans for travel in the United States. Many of these plans are short‑term, ranging from a single day up to twelve days. While they advertise unlimited data, most include a speed restriction or throttling after a certain usage threshold, with limits typically between 256 kbps and 20 Mbps.

Travelers should select a provider that fits their desired usage pattern and choose a plan long enough to cover the duration of their stay. If uncertain about data needs, estimating consumption based on typical web browsing, streaming, and map use can help pick a sufficiently generous plan.
What are the major mobile networks available for a travel eSIM in United States of America?
Verizon: The largest wireless carrier in the United States, offering extensive nationwide coverage and a robust 5G network.
