New York eSIM — Stay Online in NYC & Across the USA
$3.90
Flying into New York? Your New York eSIM gets you online the moment you land at JFK, Newark or LaGuardia — and it works across the whole USA. No plastic SIM, no roaming shock: scan a QR code and connect.
Why a New York eSIM?
- Online at the airport — book a rideshare, load subway maps and message home the second you land.
- Covers the whole USA — the same plan works in New York, LA, Miami and beyond.
- Keep your number — data-only, so your home SIM stays in for calls and verification codes.
Perfect for exploring NYC
From Times Square and Central Park to the museums, Brooklyn and a walk across the Bridge, you'll want maps, subway apps and to share photos in real time. New York has solid 4G/5G coverage across the city.
How much data do you need?
For maps, rideshare and social sharing, a mid-to-large plan is a safe pick for a week or two. Hotspotting a laptop or streaming a lot? Size up. You can add another plan anytime.
Set up before you fly
Install at home over Wi‑Fi and switch it on when you land. See our setup guide — about five minutes.

New York City travel data eSIM
What is a New York City eSIM?
A New York City eSIM is a data‑only, prepaid mobile plan designed for visitors landing in the city. After scanning a QR code, the eSIM activates on United States operator networks, giving you internet access from the moment you arrive at JFK, Newark or LaGuardia and continuing throughout the entire country for the selected period.
Once installed, the eSIM connects to AT&T 5G or Verizon 5G depending on which network your phone selects. You can browse, use maps, and stream while moving around New York City or traveling to any other U.S. state, all without swapping a physical SIM card.

Questions people actually ask
If yours is not here, write to us — we answer within 24 hours.
Which operators does the eSIM use and what does that mean for a traveller in New York City?
The eSIM connects to AT&T 5G or Verizon 5G. This gives you access to the same networks that local residents use, so you can browse, map, and communicate just as they do while you are in the city.
Does the plan work outside New York City elsewhere in the United States?
Yes. It is a United States plan, so after activation it continues to work on AT&T 5G or Verizon 5G wherever you travel within the country, not just in New York City.
Which plan size is best for a short trip to New York City?
For a brief visit, the 1 GB / 7‑day or 3 GB / 30‑day options are usually sufficient, depending on how much streaming or navigation you anticipate needing.
Will I lose my own phone number?
No. Your physical SIM stays in the phone and keeps your number for calls and WhatsApp. The eSIM only carries data, so both work side by side.
When does my plan start counting down?
When the eSIM first connects to a network at your destination — not when you buy it. So you can install it days before you fly without losing any time.
Is my phone compatible?
Most phones from 2018 onwards are: iPhone XS and later, Google Pixel 3 and later, Samsung Galaxy S20 and later. Your phone also has to be carrier-unlocked. Dial *#06# — if an EID appears, you have eSIM. Full list on our Device Compatibility page.
How fast will I get my QR code?
Usually within a couple of minutes of payment, by email. If it has not arrived, check spam first, then write to us and we will resend it immediately.
Can I use hotspot or tethering?
Yes, on every plan we sell. Share the connection with a laptop, a tablet or the rest of your group.
What if I change my mind?
If you have not installed the eSIM, you get a full refund within 180 days. Once a profile is activated and data has been used it cannot be refunded — the allowance is consumed from the network. Full detail in our Refund Policy.
Do you sell plans for groups?
Yes. For Umrah and Hajj groups, student trips and tour operators we deliver the QR codes as a single batch before departure, at group rates. Email us with your group size and destination.
