The United States is a country you plan on your phone. TSA PreCheck and boarding passes in Apple Wallet, Uber and Lyft between meetings, OpenTable reservations because the good restaurants book out by 6pm, Google Maps getting you across a city grid that doesn’t care about your sense of direction — a trip runs smoothly when your data does. A Jet eSIM for the USA gets you connected the moment you land at New York JFK, Los Angeles (LAX), Chicago O’Hare (ORD), Miami (MIA), or San Francisco (SFO). No airport SIM kiosk line, no roaming bill from your home carrier, no hunting for hotel Wi-Fi with your bags at the front desk.
Why Jet eSIM
Three things about the USA make an eSIM the right call:
01
Almost nobody visits the USA for one city. You land in New York and fly to Miami, then Los Angeles, then maybe Las Vegas or San Francisco. One USA eSIM covers all of it on a single plan — no swapping SIMs at each stop, no separate carriers state to state.
02
TSA PreCheck, ESTA/entry confirmations, national park timed-entry permits (Yosemite, Zion, Rocky Mountain), Broadway or concert tickets, Uber and Lyft for getting around — almost every part of a US trip runs through an app, and confirmations land on your phone. Being offline in the USA usually means missing something you already paid for.
03
Uber and Lyft for getting around, OpenTable and Resy for reservations, Apple Pay and Google Pay at contactless terminals, Google Maps for driving directions between states. Budget 3–5 GB for a week of casual city use, 10 GB+ if you’re road-tripping with maps running continuously or hotspotting a laptop. The USA eSIM plans run from 1 GB up to unlimited, so you can match the allowance to your itinerary instead of topping up mid-trip.
Pricing
All plans run on the Connect Lah! with 5G speeds. Hotspot is included on every plan. Rechargeable online. Top-up available while abroad. No expiry on unused top-up credit.
Setup
Choose a USA plan with the data amount and validity that match your trip. You’ll receive an activation QR code by email within minutes of purchase.
Once your plane touches down in the USA, your Jet eSIM activates automatically. Maps, rideshare apps, and hotspot work from the moment you leave airport mode.
Coverage
Jet eSIM connects to America’s major mobile networks (AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon-partner infrastructure) with automatic carrier switching for the strongest local signal. This means dependable 5G coverage in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Miami, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Seattle, Boston, and Washington D.C., plus along major interstate highway corridors between them. Coverage extends into national parks and smaller towns, though signal in remote stretches of the Mountain West, parts of rural Alaska, and deep desert or forest terrain depends on the local carrier’s own tower coverage — same as any US SIM.

FAQ
Yes. Install the eSIM before you fly and data is live the moment your phone reconnects at the gate — before you reach immigration and customs. Same at Chicago O’Hare, Miami, San Francisco, and every other major US airport.
For a typical 10-day trip covering two or three cities with maps, rideshare apps, and photo uploads, plan on 5–10 GB. If you’re road-tripping with Google Maps running continuously, hotspotting a laptop, or making frequent video calls home, step up to 20 GB or an unlimited plan.
Yes. Signal on the Northeast Corridor (Boston–New York–Washington D.C.) is generally reliable. Long-distance western routes pass through remote terrain where signal can drop briefly, the same as it does for any US SIM, and reconnects automatically once back in range of a tower.
Signal is solid at visitor centers, lodges, and main overlooks. Deep backcountry and canyon-floor areas often have thin or no signal, which is the same experience domestic US carriers have — no eSIM provider can fix terrain-based dead zones.
No. USA-specific plans are USA-only. For border-crossing trips (USA-Canada, USA-Mexico), a North America regional plan is the better option.
Yes — in your phone’s settings, enable data roaming on the Jet eSIM line specifically. This isn’t the same as your home carrier’s paid roaming; it’s just telling your phone to accept the local US network the eSIM is provisioned for.
