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. All of the available United States plans have a set data cap. For travelers who need a large amount of data, the provider offers fixed‑data options such as the 50GB plan valid for 60 days at $48.72 USD and the 30GB plan valid for 60 days at $20.46 USD. Choosing one of these fixed plans can be more cost‑effective unless a user expects to consume data at a very high volume, in which case an unlimited plan from a different provider would be required.
Does EscapeSIM offer United States of America eSIM with phone number and SMS?
EscapeSIM does not offer an eSIM for the United States of America that includes a phone number or SMS capability. All United States plans from this provider are data‑only, so users will not receive a local telephone number or the ability to send or receive text messages via the SIM.
To make phone calls or send messages while using the EscapeSIM eSIM, travelers can rely on popular VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, or iMessage, which operate over the data connection rather than requiring a traditional phone number or SMS service.
