Great question. Whether you are visiting San Francisco (Golden Gate, Silicon Valley), Los Angeles (Hollywood, Santa Monica), San Diego, or Las Vegas (Strip, Fremont Street), our USA eSIM is far more economical than traditional roaming ($50–150/day) and more convenient than a local SIM bought at the airport. Plans start at $4.99 with 2-minute QR Code activation.
Check that mobile data and data roaming are enabled for the eSIM line (not your home line). Restart your phone — this fixes 90% of cases. If nothing changes, manually select AT&T, T-Mobile, or Verizon in your network settings. If the issue persists, our 24/7 support team responds by email to help you get back online quickly.
Yes, you can top up your USA eSIM remotely from your TravelNet account, wherever you are. Additional data is credited within minutes without reinstalling any profile. For extended stays, contact our support who can recommend the most suitable plan for your needs.
