A LeafySIM United States eSIM uses both Verizon and AT&T on 5G, which matters because those two carry the deepest rural coverage in the country. Install it from a QR code before you fly. Plans run 1GB to 50GB, from $3.99.
Where your United States eSIM actually works
Carrying both networks is the whole point on a country this size. Verizon has the widest LTE footprint in the United States at roughly 70% of the land area and AT&T is second at about 68%, so between them they are the pair you want for the drive out of Las Vegas toward Zion, or a week around Yellowstone and the Grand Canyon.
The honest part. T-Mobile is the fastest 5G network in the country, averaging around 283 Mbps, and this plan does not carry it. If your trip is entirely in cities and raw speed is what you care about, that is the trade you are making. Neither Verizon nor AT&T is slow, and both cover more ground.
Set expectations properly on the parks: the visitor centres at Yellowstone, the Grand Canyon and Yosemite have workable signal. The trails do not, and no network changes that. Download your offline maps at the lodge.
What data buys a visitor to the US
The US is a country you cannot really do without a phone. Rideshare instead of taxis, mobile boarding passes, restaurant waitlists that text you a link, tolls and parking apps on the interstate, and Google Maps for a road network that assumes you have it. Public wifi exists but it is a login form and a terms page away every single time.
How much data you need in the United States
A two week trip on maps, rideshare and normal use runs about 5GB, which is $10.99. The 3GB at $7.99 covers a week in one city. A road trip leaning hard on navigation and streaming wants the 10GB at $19.99 or the 15GB at $25.49. The 1GB at $3.99 runs 7 days and is a business-trip plan.
There is also a 20GB on a 90 day window at $41.49, which is the one to pick for a long multi-stop trip rather than the 30 day version at $36.49.
What this plan does not do
Data only. No US phone number, no regular calls, no SMS. This one bites slightly harder in the US than elsewhere, because a lot of American services verify you by SMS, restaurant waitlists and delivery apps included, and some will not accept a foreign number. Keep your home SIM switched on for texts with its data turned off, and expect a few sign-up forms to reject a non-US number regardless.
What it costs next to roaming
If you are visiting from Europe or Asia, check your own carrier's US roaming rate before you compare. For the US carriers' own international passes, Verizon and AT&T both charge $12 a day and T-Mobile's 10 day pass is $50 for 15GB. The 5GB United States plan is $10.99.
The networks you'll ride
Your eSIM connects to the destination's real carriers and picks the strongest signal automatically. We publish this because most resellers won't.

FAQ
Good to know before you fly
When does the clock start?
When your eSIM first connects to a network at your destination, not when you buy it and not when you install it. Install it before you fly, on your home WiFi; the plan starts when you land.
Can I top up if I run out?
Yes, on most plans, any time before it expires. Buy a top-up from your order page and it applies to the eSIM you already installed, no reinstalling required.
Is there a phone number included?
No, this is a data-only eSIM. Your own number stays active on your home SIM for calls and texts, and apps like WhatsApp and FaceTime work over data as usual.
When should I install it?
Before you fly, on your home WiFi. Every plan has a 180-day window to activate, and the clock does not start until you actually connect at your destination.
