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?
Frequently Asked Questions
Does EscapeSIM offer unlimited data eSIM for United States of America?
EscapeSIM does not provide an unlimited data eSIM for the United States of America.
Customers seeking high‑volume data must choose from the fixed data plans that EscapeSIM offers. Two examples of larger‑allowance options are the Europe And USA 50GB plan, which provides 50GB of data for 60 days at a price of $48.75 USD, and the United States 30GB plan, which supplies 30GB of data for 60 days at $20.48 USD. These fixed‑data plans can be more cost effective for most travelers unless their usage approaches very heavy consumption levels, in which case an alternative provider with an unlimited option might be more appropriate.
Does EscapeSIM offer United States of America eSIM with phone number and SMS?
EscapeSIM does not provide a United States of America eSIM that includes a phone number or SMS capability. Only data‑only eSIM plans are offered for travel to the United States of America. Pass‑through VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, and iMessage work over the data connection and can be used for voice and messaging without a traditional phone number.
