Land at New York's JFK, tap the install link Lumbus emailed you, and your phone sets the eSIM up itself — you're online before you reach the AirTrain. No SIM kiosk, no US contract. Your United States eSIM starts working the moment you switch off airplane mode. Up to 10x cheaper than roaming with plans starting at $2.99.
Your United States eSIM connects to 2 mobile networks, automatically switching to the strongest signal — with speeds up to 5G.
Data does the heavy lifting on a US trip. You'll hail an Uber or Lyft at the curb, follow Google Maps through Manhattan or down the Pacific Coast Highway, order coffee ahead on an app, and message home on WhatsApp or iMessage. In New York, riders tap into the subway with OMNY and plan routes in Citymapper.
An eSIM for the United States keeps it simple. Buy online before you fly, then tap the install link in your email and let your phone set it up from your couch — or scan the QR code if you prefer. Whether you land at LAX, Miami, or San Francisco, there's nothing to pick up and no store to find.
The real networks your Lumbus eSIM connects to in the United States.
Your United States eSIM connects to AT&T and Verizon, both on 5G. There's nothing to choose manually. Your phone auto-selects the strongest signal wherever you are, whether that's midtown Manhattan or a highway outside Phoenix, and can switch between networks as you move. You just see full bars, not settings menus.

Practical advice for using mobile data in the United States.
Signal fades in Yellowstone, Death Valley, and remote stretches of Route 66. Save offline Google Maps for national parks and desert drives while you're still on hotel WiFi.
US airports route Uber and Lyft to marked pickup zones. At JFK or O'Hare, walk to the rideshare area before requesting; at LAX, follow the LAX-it signs — a short walk from some terminals, a free shuttle from the rest.
New York's subway takes contactless payment through OMNY, and Citymapper maps the routes. In San Francisco, live data makes BART and cable car connections much easier to time.
Renting a car? Turn on your phone's hotspot so the whole group can navigate and stream off one plan across those long interstate stretches between cities.
Add the eSIM at home on WiFi, then leave the line off. When you land in the US, switch it on and you're connected before baggage claim.
