eSIM for New York

Your days start when you land, not when you pay

New York is easy to navigate and hard to time. Subway service changes at weekends, restaurants run waitlists through an app, and the difference between the right and the wrong platform is a live-updating map you can only read if you are online.

Expect to use data for subway routing and service alerts, for ride-hailing late at night, and for reservations and tickets held on a phone. The same eSIM keeps working if the trip continues to Boston, Washington or further across the US.

This is an eSIM for United States. It works everywhere in the country, New York included — there is no New York-only plan, and you would not want one. See all United States plans

FAQs for your travel eSIM

Is this eSIM only for New York?

No. It is an eSIM for United States, and it works across the whole country, New York included. That is deliberate: plans are sold per country, so you stay connected when you leave New York instead of losing data at the edge of town.

Will my phone work with the New York eSIM?

Any eSIM-compatible phone bought in the last few years (iPhone XS or newer, Pixel 3 or newer, recent Samsung Galaxy, etc.) works with our New York travel eSIM. Use our compatibility checker if you are unsure.

When does the New York eSIM start counting?

Validity starts the moment your travel eSIM connects to a network in New York, not when you buy it. You can install it before your trip without losing days.

Do I keep my regular number while using the New York eSIM?

Yes. Your physical SIM stays active for calls and SMS on your normal number. The New York eSIM only handles mobile data, so WhatsApp, maps and apps all run on your eSIM data.

Can I tether or use a hotspot in New York?

Yes, every New York eSIM plan allows tethering and personal hotspot, so you can share your eSIM data with a laptop or another device.

What happens if I run out of eSIM data in New York?

Top it up from your account: open the eSIM and tap Top up. The extra data is added to the same eSIM — no new QR to scan and no shop to visit. If your plan doesn't support top-ups or has already expired, buy a new New York plan instead.

Is the New York eSIM refundable?

If you haven't installed your eSIM (installing means scanning the QR) or activated it, and the plan hasn't expired, we refund it in full: contact support with your order number. Once it is installed or activated it can't be refunded because you changed your mind — but if it isn't working, contact us and we'll sort it out.
