🇺🇸 United States
United States eSIM for tourists
A holiday in United States rarely needs much data, which is exactly why bundles are bad value there. A week of maps, translation, a few restaurant bookings and some photo uploads usually lands between two and five gigabytes, and a 10 GB tourist bundle quietly throws half of it away.
MoneroSim bills $2.60 per GB from a balance you already own, so a short trip costs a few dollars and whatever is left waits for the next one.
Getting online in United States
Almost every US airport has free wifi. 5G is dense in metro areas; large stretches of Nevada, Montana and Wyoming remain 4G or dead.
The profile attaches to T-Mobile US, AT&T, so coverage in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago is the same network you would get from a local shop, at 5G speeds where the mast supports it.
Why skip the local SIM shop
United States sits in the middle: registration is not always demanded by law, but most retailers ask for a document anyway, and the rules differ by operator.
On a five day trip the queue, the paperwork and the top-up card that expires in 30 days are all cost you pay in time rather than money. Installing before departure removes the whole errand.

Practical tips
- Install the profile on home wifi before you fly, then switch it on after landing
- Set MoneroSim as the data line and keep your usual SIM for calls and texts
- Download offline maps for New York to keep data use low
- Turn data roaming on for the MoneroSim profile; it is how it reaches T-Mobile US
