eSIM plans for United States

3-week road trip in the American West: Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Grand Canyon, Yosemite, and then San Francisco. 50 GB plan, excellent 5G eSIM coverage in big cities (the best coverage I've ever had), and very decent 4G over long distances. I hesitated between this and Holafly with its unlimited data on T-Mobile and AT&T networks. In the end, the best eSIM plan for my budget was still voilà, much cheaper, and the eSIM cost was unbeatable. Honest downside: in remote areas of national parks like Death Valley, the signal becomes unstable, but that depends on local carriers, not the eSIM. Tracking consumption on the app is super practical.

We went on a girls' trip to New York and were looking for a cheap eSIM to avoid getting ripped off. After comparing, voilà was about €15 cheaper than Airalo for a similar plan. The 5G worked perfectly everywhere, from Manhattan to Brooklyn. Google Maps, Uber, Instagram, TikTok, FaceTime—everything worked without a single bug. I had taken 20 GB for 10 days and it was more than enough, but I still topped up 5 GB directly in the app in 2 minutes. The best value for money in our eSIM comparison.

Road trip USA Canada (New York, Boston, Montreal, Toronto), 30 GB on a plan designed for North America. A single profile for both countries, so no more need to swap cards at the border. With Airalo, I would've had to buy two separate plans and pay more. Reliable internet connection on both sides, perfect for Maps and booking hotels on the go. No blocked apps, usage tracking in the voilà app. In terms of eSIM flexibility, one single card for all of North America—this is truly the future of travel eSIMs.

Not tech-savvy at all, this was my first eSIM, for a week in Chicago. 5 GB plan, installation via the QR code and the instructions received by email, nothing new or complicated to learn. Reliable 4G/5G coverage in the city. Honest downside: you have to remember to enable data roaming yourself in the settings upon arrival, otherwise it won't connect automatically. Once that's done, you don't have to touch anything else, and the human support helped me in a few minutes on WhatsApp. For ease of use, it was perfect for a first time, I recommend it to travelers like me.

City trip on the West Coast, 20 GB for 12 days between Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Las Vegas. Network stability was top-notch in the city, 5G everywhere, and speeds were more than enough for streaming in the evening at the hotel. I had used Saily last year (Verizon network), which was okay, but the voilà eSIM price was lower for the same duration. Activation upon arrival at LAX took just one minute, and the hotspot feature let me connect my boyfriend's tablet. Nothing to complain about regarding coverage.

Important to know: I thought about getting an eSIM with calls, but eSIM calls aren't included. It's data only, no local US number, so no regular calls or SMS, and no unlimited calls. Honestly, for 15 days in Chicago and New York, WhatsApp and FaceTime do the whole job for calling family. I had looked at Ubigi before, but voilà was easier to use and cheaper. 10 GB, stable connection, instant activation. The eSIM features match exactly what you expect from a travel data plan, nothing more, nothing less.

Super option for staying connected in New York. Installing your voilà eSIM is quick and easy, so you can have internet without any headaches as soon as you arrive at JFK. I got 10 GB for a week in Manhattan and Brooklyn, and the connection is reliable for everyday use: social media, GPS, or looking up great spots. It's clearly a practical solution to avoid roaming fees and enjoy your trip with peace of mind.

Family trip to Miami and then Orlando for the theme parks, 30 GB of data sharing in a single plan. No roaming fees, no bad surprises when we got back. We checked in advance that every device was eSIM compatible, and installation was immediate via the QR code received by email. The eSIM plans are clear, with packages tailored for the whole family, and the eSIM benefits are obvious for parents: Maps, WhatsApp on every phone to manage the kids, and photos sent live to the grandparents. We tracked everyone's usage in the voilà app. Reliable coverage everywhere in Florida.

Before, I used to buy a local SIM card at an AT&T or Verizon store upon arrival, costing between €40 and €60 with the long queues at JFK—a total nightmare. With voilà, the eSIM is activated before departure and you're connected as soon as you land. I placed my order on the website, received the QR code by email, and activation was instant. I got a 20 GB plan for two weeks in New York and Washington, with eSIM rates that are much lower than local carriers. No more physical SIM cards for me to install, and the human support team replied quickly when I had a question.
