A United States eSIM costs from $3.24 (3GB for 5 days) to $13.91 (20GB for 30 days) and runs on AT&T and Verizon with 5G. There's also an unlimited plan at $2.59 a day, for 3 to 90 days. Validity starts on your first connection in United States, not on the day you buy, and your home number stays active for WhatsApp. You can share data over hotspot. Plans are data only; calls go through WhatsApp or other apps.
The US is continent-sized — a multi-city trip needs reliable coverage well beyond downtown cores. If you're planning a road trip across states, make sure the plan you pick covers the whole itinerary in advance.

Data comes on by itself once your phone finds a network in United States.
What should I know before a trip to United States?
In the US the plan runs on AT&T and Verizon, two of the country's largest carriers, both on 5G. Reception is good in major cities and along main highways, but national parks and remote desert areas have long stretches with no signal at all, on any network. Before driving into a park, download the area as an offline map in Google Maps.
Rides within cities are mostly booked through Uber and Lyft. If you're renting a car for a multi-state trip, most of your data will go to navigation and streaming on the road, so pick a plan sized for long driving days.
