eSIM for Traveling to the United States of America (USA)

July 5, 2024

If you’re traveling to the US, it is vital to have a reliable internet connection. You need a stable internet connection to use public transportation or navigate to a destination. As well as to look up restaurant reviews, make bookings, or check up on places of interest to visit.

Solution? You can stay connected with a KnowRoaming USA eSIM.

The never-ending search for stable wifi or the process of purchasing a local SIM card are extremely frustrating when visiting other countries. Even worse, you can incur huge roaming fees for international roaming.

An embedded SIM is built into your mobile phone. You won’t need to insert any physical card into your phone and can use your eSIM plan immediately after you have purchased it. It also allows you to buy a data plan for another country to avoid paying high roaming prices.

Tips for Traveling to the USA

Planning a holiday in Hawaii or going to see the iconic New York skyline?

Whether you're preparing for a vacation in LA or an adventure in Yellowstone National Park, staying connected is crucial. Here are five tips to ensure you have a smooth and enjoyable trip:

1. Plan Ahead and Book in Advance

Booking flights, accommodation, and activities early can help you avoid high prices and ensure availability.

2. Stay Connected with an eSIM

Instead of relying on public Wi-Fi or buying a physical SIM card upon arrival, use a KnowRoaming eSIM. It keeps you connected from the moment you land, avoiding high roaming fees and providing seamless internet access.

3. Organize Your Itinerary

Having a well-structured plan helps you make the most of your time. Use your eSIM to look up restaurant reviews, book tours, or find hiking trails in Yellowstone National Park.

4. Research the Weather

Weather can vary significantly across the 50 states. Research the climate and weather conditions for the time and area you’ll be visiting. This ensures you pack appropriately, whether it's swimwear for Hawaii or warm layers for Yellowstone National Park.

5. Have a Backup Plan

Unexpected situations can arise during travel, from sudden weather changes to itinerary disruptions. Always have a backup plan for activities and accommodations. Use your eSIM to stay updated on local news and make alternate arrangements if needed.

How does a USA eSIM work?

Make sure your phone is eSIM-compatible before proceeding.

Before you take off to USA, purchase your preferred KnowRoaming data package. You could buy it when you arrive as well, but then you’ll need a stable Internet connection to install it.

Pay for your plan, scan the QR code to install it, and activate it when you land. And that's all. You can start using your data right away.
