Plan your usage

How much data do you need in North America?

A rough guide to pick the right plan — your real usage depends on how much you stream and share.

Light
~1 GB / week

Maps, messaging, email and the occasional search. Enough to stay oriented and in touch.

Medium
~3–5 GB / week

Social feeds, browsing, music and some video. The sweet spot for most travelers.

Heavy
10 GB+ / Unlimited

Video calls, lots of streaming and tethering your laptop or sharing a hotspot.

Why eSIM for North America

Skip the SIM shop. Save the roaming charges.

Roaming on your home carrier in this country gets expensive fast. A local SIM means broken Apple Wallet, hunting kiosks at the airport, and 30 minutes lost to a registration form. eSIM activates in the time it takes to find your hotel.
