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?
