How Much Data Do You Need for a Trip to the USA?
Think about what you’ll do online each day, then pick a plan that covers your whole stay in the USA. Matching the plan to your habits helps your data go further.
2GB/day or 5GB
Maps, messages & bookings
Enough for a short city break if you mainly use Google Maps, book Uber or Lyft rides, message home on WhatsApp and rely on hotel Wi-Fi for big downloads.
20GB
Browsing, photos & social media
Choose more data if you post photos, watch short videos and move between cities on an East and West Coast tour, such as New York, Washington D.C., Los Angeles and Las Vegas, on a trip of up to about 2 weeks.
30GB or Unlimited
Video calls, streaming & hotspot
Choose a larger allowance for a road trip, where navigation and music on long drives use more data than you expect, a month-long stay, or if you stream video, take video calls or share data with a laptop. T-Mobile Unlimited plans give you unlimited 5G high-speed data, and Verizon Unlimited plans stay at 10 Mbps, still fast enough for HD streaming and video calls.
Travel tip: before visiting national parks such as Yellowstone, Yosemite, Zion or the Grand Canyon, download offline maps, music and directions, since signal is limited deep in the parks.
Frequently asked questions
An eSIM is a digital SIM built into your phone that lets you activate a mobile data plan by scanning a QR code, with no physical SIM card needed. With Gohub, there are also no roaming fees.
Gohub eSIM for the USA works with all eSIM-capable smartphones, including iPhone XS/XR and later, Samsung Galaxy S20 and later, and Google Pixel 3 and later. Your phone must be network-unlocked; carrier-locked devices will not accept a third-party eSIM. Check Settings > Cellular > Add eSIM on iPhone, or SIM Manager on Android, to confirm support, or use our supported devices checker. On T-Mobile plans, only one T-Mobile eSIM can be installed on each phone.
Installing adds the eSIM to your phone. Scan the QR code from your email while on Wi-Fi:
On iPhone, go to Settings > Cellular > Add eSIM.
On Android, go to Settings > Connections > SIM Manager (Samsung) or Settings > Network & Internet > SIMs (Pixel and others).
When you arrive in the USA, switch the eSIM on and turn on data roaming for it. This doesn’t add roaming charges.
Some plans activate as soon as you install them, so check when your plan starts before you scan the QR code (see the next question).
Verizon Unlimited and daily data plans start as soon as you install the eSIM. Install it 2–3 hours before your flight or after you arrive.
Verizon fixed data plans and USA, Canada & Mexico plans start when the eSIM first connects to a network at your destination.
T-Mobile Unlimited plans start on the date you choose when you order. You’ll get an activation notice within 4 hours, then you need to activate the eSIM within 2–3 hours.
T-Mobile fixed data plans start as soon as you buy them, so buy close to your travel date.
T-Mobile needs your phone’s EID and IMEI to prepare the eSIM and send your activation notice. To find them, dial *#06#, or go to Settings > General > About on iPhone, or Settings > About phone on Android. If you don’t activate the eSIM within 2–3 hours of the notice, contact Gohub and we’ll refresh it for you.
No. You can buy a Gohub USA eSIM online without a passport. T-Mobile plans only need your phone’s EID and IMEI.
It depends on the plan. T-Mobile plans come with a US number and unlimited calls and texts within the USA; dial #686# to see your number. Verizon and USA, Canada & Mexico plans are data-only, so keep your home SIM on for calls and SMS, or use messaging apps over data.
Yes - Gohub US eSIM plans support mobile hotspot (tethering) on T-Mobile's 5G network. Share your connection with a laptop, tablet, or travel companion's device. This makes Gohub US eSIM a strong choice for remote workers or travel groups who need data on multiple devices during their US trip.
On Verizon daily data plans, your data resets at midnight GMT+8, which is 11 AM in New York and 8 AM in Los Angeles in winter (noon and 9 AM in summer). On T-Mobile plans, it resets at midnight US local time. On Verizon fixed data plans, each day is counted as a 24-hour period.
Yes. Depending on your plan, it connects to Verizon, T-Mobile or AT&T, with the best signal in cities such as New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Las Vegas and Orlando. Signal can be weaker in national parks, deserts, mountain areas and on long rural highways.
Only on USA, Canada & Mexico plans, which connect to Verizon and AT&T in the USA, Rogers in Canada and Telcel in Mexico. Other Gohub USA plans work in the USA only, so check “Supported Countries” in Plan details if your trip crosses the border.
For short trips, an eSIM is more convenient because you can buy and install it before departure and skip the airport SIM counter. If you need a US number for calls, choose a T-Mobile plan, which includes one.
Don’t delete it, because the QR code works only once. Check you’re on Wi-Fi, your phone is unlocked and data roaming is on, then restart your phone. Still stuck? Contact our 24/7 support. Our 1-hour replacement covers activation and usage issues.
Get Uber or Lyft for rides, Google Maps or Apple Maps for directions, and download offline maps before visiting national parks, where signal is limited. WhatsApp is handy for staying in touch with family and friends at home.
