Travelling to the United States? Choose a data plan for your trip, then install the eSIM on a compatible, unlocked phone before departure.
For the USA, choose 5 GB only when your whole-trip estimate fits within it; choose 10 GB for a larger estimate. Check travel days too: extra data does not extend validity.
Use your own recent mobile-data total over a known period. Your home tariff allowance is not the amount you actually used. Compare your estimate with the current plans below; nothing is selected automatically.
This budgets one data-only eSIM for the USA. It does not cover the other side of the USA–Canada border. It predicts neither speed nor app access. Check whether your home carrier already includes suitable roaming before buying.
No. These USA and Canada plans each cover one country. Their data allowances are separate and cannot be transferred. For a two-country trip, check your existing roaming or a plan that explicitly covers both countries.
Split your travel days and expected usage by country. Check whether your home plan already covers either stop. If you choose separate eSIMs, check how many profiles your exact phone can store and use; do not delete a working eSIM to make room without advice.
Install and label each purchased line using stable internet and its private order instructions. Keep maps and instructions saved. A country name or internet-exit country is not proof of cross-border coverage.
Select that country’s installed eSIM for mobile data and follow its data-roaming instructions. Disable automatic mobile-data switching and keep home-line data roaming off. Briefly turn Wi-Fi off and open a small webpage; this uses some data.
Each selected country plan starts with its own first supported network connection. Switching a started line off does not pause its validity; returning later does not restart the clock or refill its data.
If the next country has no connection, use Wi-Fi to check the selected line, exact coverage, allowance and order instructions. Keep both eSIMs installed and contact support with the relevant order reference if needed. Do not copy the APN from the other country’s plan.
Connection help →Current plan prices before discount or credit. Each country plan is a separate purchase; these rows are not a bundle or shared allowance.
OrientPass editorial review · 2026-10-20. Exact current country coverage checked against supplier records. Airalo and Nomad also offer regional products; their North America packages must not be confused with these OrientPass country plans. Device capacity and line switching depend on your phone. No field network test.
Add only sharing not already included in your measured phone total. Daily mode repeats the amount for every travel day. For only some laptop days, enter their combined trip total instead. Leave 0 when no extra sharing is needed. Changing unit or period reinterprets your number; check the trip total.
An optional assumption applied to baseline plus extra sharing, not a guarantee.
Enter travel days, measured days and usage to compare. No personal usage estimate is prefilled.
(Measured data ÷ measured days × travel days + additional sharing) × 1.2 with the margin on. Daily sharing is multiplied by every travel day. Conversion: 1 GB = 1,024 MB. Counters can differ.

If you stay together, one phone can share its travel data over a hotspot. If you split up, each person needs their own suitable connection. Compare the current options below; the right choice also depends on each person’s data use.
10 GB · 30 days per plan
One plan: €24.90
Install this eSIM on the host phone. Connect the second phone by Wi-Fi nearby; both phones use this one allowance. The second phone does not need eSIM support just to join Wi-Fi. It loses this hotspot connection when the host is out of range, off or out of battery.
Data per phone: 5 GB · 30 days per plan
Comparison total for two separate plans: €27.80€13.90 per plan
Each phone needs eSIM support and no carrier lock. Buy a separate eSIM for each phone and keep its private installation instructions separate. Each plan has its own allowance and activation clock; unused data on one phone cannot be pooled with the other.
For one shared plan, budget both travellers’ use once, including hotspot data. For two plans, estimate each person separately: 5 GB each is not a flexible shared 10 GB balance. Prices shown are current comparisons before any discount code or credit, not bundle discounts.
The individual-plan button opens one plan for one phone. This comparison does not add two items or complete a group purchase. If both people need a plan, complete a separate purchase for each; check each final total before paying.
Before departure, check existing home-plan roaming first. For sharing, test the host phone’s hotspot with the second phone, use a private hotspot password and plan charging. Hotspot support depends on the device and network; no fixed range, speed or number of connected devices is promised.
If sharing fails, check the host phone’s own mobile data first, then its hotspot and the other phone’s Wi-Fi. Use only the APN in your order instructions. If you need to separate, arrange another connection before leaving Wi-Fi; buying more shared data does not give the second phone an independent connection.
Apple · connect another phone to a hotspot ↗First test the phone with Wi-Fi off using the travel eSIM. If the phone works but the laptop does not, check hotspot settings and reconnect. More data does not repair a failed Wi-Fi connection.
Before testing, select the travel eSIM for mobile data at a covered destination, leave home-line data roaming off and disable automatic data switching. Opening a small webpage uses some data. Restore Wi-Fi after the test if needed.
First resolve the phone connection: check the selected country, travel line, purchased allowance and validity, and the exact APN in your installation email if required. Keep the eSIM installed. A Wi-Fi icon or mobile signal bars alone do not prove the travel line works.
Open this destination’s arrival settings →Disconnect the laptop hotspot while checking optional backups, downloads and background activity. Then use the existing Windows or Mac controls below. Hotspot traffic uses the same travel allowance; the phone counter is not a verified remaining balance.
Open Windows / Mac data-saving controls ↓Still failing? Contact support with the relevant order reference, destination, phone model/OS, laptop system and which of these two devices has internet. Do not send hotspot passwords, QR codes or activation codes. Do not delete the eSIM or buy another plan as the first fix.
Contact support about this connection →Hotspot support in the plan details does not guarantee every phone/laptop combination, a particular number of devices, speed or a working company VPN. Other Android brands have different controls. These checks are guidance, not a remote device or network test.
Review current destination plans and hotspot details ↓Set a warning for the laptop’s own hotspot connection and keep a separate reserve for your phone. Windows warns as usage approaches or exceeds your chosen amount; keep checking the eSIM allowance and disconnect if necessary.
Windows sees this computer’s network use. It cannot account for other hotspot devices or all use on the phone, and it does not reset or refill your eSIM. A missing setting or managed work laptop needs Windows or IT help; do not assume a limit has been applied.
Microsoft · Windows network data limits ↗Your Mac uses the same travel data allowance as your phone. Enable Low Data Mode for the hotspot, then check whether transfers are still running. Keep a separate allowance for the phone and other devices.
Low Data Mode is not a hard cap. Activity Monitor is not your eSIM balance or a precise counter for this hotspot alone; other connections can affect its figures. Data already used is not restored. Do not force-quit unfamiliar processes or bypass work-device controls. If a setting is missing or managed, disconnect and ask IT.
Check the travel data line and the apps using it before choosing a larger plan. A data-saving mode can reduce background traffic; it does not stop data used by apps you are actively using or guarantee that 5 GB will be enough.
These settings are not a data cap, a refill or a verified remaining balance. Phone measurements can differ from the provider’s figures. If usage keeps rising, stop optional downloads and hotspot sharing, use trusted Wi-Fi and contact support with your order reference to check the plan. Do not delete the eSIM as a usage fix. Other Android brands and managed phones have different menus; use the manufacturer’s instructions or ask IT.
Check connection and support options →OrientPass editorial review · 2026-10-21. Arithmetic from your entries, not a traveller survey or network test. Allowance and validity come from the live catalog; supplier records were checked for these exact USA/Canada products. Airalo and Nomad already provide data-selection guidance; their examples are not personal measurements.
Install before you fly, using reliable internet. For the USA plans shown here, the 30-day validity starts when the eSIM first connects to a supported network in the United States—not when you install it at home.
The unused activation window is 180 days. This is time to start the plan, not extra days of mobile data. Ask support if you are unsure which start-by date applies to your order.
Choose a USA plan ↓Use a supported same-phone method or your order’s manual details; you do not need to scan your own screen. First check whether the US profile is already installed. Keep a stable internet connection during installation.
Use the unlocked, eSIM-compatible phone that will use this order. Open your own installation email, not a screenshot from another traveller. Adding the travel line does not transfer your home number. Do not choose a home-SIM conversion or transfer option.
Do not install it again just because it shows no service before travel. Match the profile to your private order instructions; a label alone is not proof. Keep it installed. For the current US plans, the validity starts at the first supported-network connection in the US, not when the profile is added.
Use the US arrival settings ↓Pause repeated scans and check whether the profile was already added. Reconnect to reliable internet and use the installation-help branch below. Keep the exact error and phone model for support. Do not delete an installed profile or buy a replacement just to retry a code; reuse or transfer is not guaranteed.
Check the installation error →Keep your QR code, SM-DP+ details and activation code private. Never paste them into this webpage, a public forum or an online QR decoder. If you need a second screen, use a trusted device. This guide does not check or install your eSIM.
Same-phone steps reviewed on 22 October 2026 using Apple, Samsung and Google guidance and our installation-email format. No physical handset or network test.
Check eSIM support and carrier unlock. Install from your private order email over stable Wi-Fi, label the line USA, then leave it off until arrival. Save the instructions offline; keep the QR code private.
Turn on the USA eSIM and select it for mobile data. Enable data roaming on this travel line as instructed. If using it instead of your home plan, disable home-line data roaming and automatic mobile-data switching. Menu names vary by phone.
Briefly turn Wi-Fi off and open a small webpage. It uses some plan data. Once the first supported connection starts the plan, switching the line off does not pause its validity. Contact support with your order reference if you need the exact expiry checked.
Before arrival, installation alone does not establish a USA mobile connection. After arrival, check the selected data line, its roaming setting and local coverage, then restart the phone. Use only the APN from your order instructions. Do not delete the eSIM or buy a replacement as your first fix; reconnect to Wi-Fi and contact support if it still fails.
Get connection help →Choose your phone to see its data-line menu and download a USA arrival card before flying. Open the saved file in flight mode to check it works. It contains public instructions, not your private installation code.
Use an eSIM-compatible, unlocked phone. Menu names vary with software and region. The file is for an already installed USA eSIM; it does not install one or replace your private order instructions. If saving fails, take screenshots of the displayed steps before departure.
After saving, open the file from Files or Downloads with flight mode on. This webpage itself is not available offline. Do not put your QR code into a public note.
After arrival, turn flight mode off, briefly turn Wi-Fi off and open a small webpage. This uses some data. If it fails, reconnect to Wi-Fi, check the chosen data line and its roaming setting, then restart. Keep the eSIM installed; use only the APN from your order instructions. Contact support with your order reference if it still fails.
Home-line calls and SMS retain your provider’s conditions. Selecting travel data does not make them free; check the Germany, Austria or Switzerland carrier links below before travelling.
No. These USA plans provide mobile data, not a phone number or ordinary SMS. Keep access to the number registered with your bank. Buying more data will not deliver a missing verification code.
Choose the situation you need help with. An internet message in an app is different from an SMS sent to your phone number.
Yes. Your existing WhatsApp account can use US travel data while keeping its registered number. These data-only plans do not provide a new number or receive verification codes. Keep access to your original number for account recovery.
Choose what you see in WhatsApp. Switching the internet connection is different from changing or registering an account.
Your home number remains a separate service. Keeping a WhatsApp account does not make home-line calls, SMS, roaming or account recovery free. Check your exact home tariff.
Reviewed on 22 October 2026 using WhatsApp, Airalo and Nomad guidance and the current US data-only catalog. App menus may differ; no handset, app-access or network test.
A home-line call can temporarily interrupt travel-eSIM data on a dual-SIM phone. Wait until the call ends and check again. This alone does not prove your USA data allowance is used up; a larger plan does not change dual-SIM behaviour.
Save your hotel address and booking details offline. Check the USA price of incoming calls, voicemail and carrier Wi-Fi calling with your home provider. Turning off home-line data roaming does not block voice charges. Do not place a chargeable test call.
In the United States, keep the travel eSIM selected for mobile data, with the roaming setting required by your order instructions. Leave home-line data roaming and automatic data switching off. Briefly turn Wi-Fi off and open a small webpage; return to working Wi-Fi if it does not load.
If browsing returns, record that the interruption happened during a home-line call. If it stays offline, use the linked USA arrival steps and then connection help. Keep the eSIM installed. More data is only relevant if you separately confirm an exhausted allowance; do not buy a replacement just because a call interrupted it.
Open Settings → Cellular / Mobile Data → Cellular Data and confirm the travel line. Apple says that with Allow Cellular Data Switching off, data does not work during a call on the other voice line. Apple also says switching does not work while using Data Roaming, so enabling it is not a reliable travel fix.
Manufacturer instructions ↗Open Settings → Network & internet → SIMs to review your data line. Google distinguishes Pixel 8 / 8 Pro and earlier from Pixel 8a and later. Data during calls and two-line calling have different requirements. Do not turn on home-line mobile data or automatic switching as a blanket fix; use the guide for your exact model. Other Android phones need their manufacturer’s instructions.
Manufacturer instructions ↗An ordinary call to your home number uses that carrier’s voice service. An app call uses an internet connection and its own account conditions. Carrier Wi-Fi calling is a separate phone-number service with carrier terms; it is not the same as an app call. These USA plans remain data-only: no US number or ordinary voice minutes, and no guarantee of uninterrupted calls or app availability.
Call-time guidance checked: 21 October 2026
Telekom describes reachability through roaming under your existing number. Check USA availability and the price terms for your exact tariff; enabling both lines does not make home-line use free.
A1 lists country and tariff-specific roaming options. Check USA calling and SMS conditions for your own contract in Mein A1; do not apply EU allowances to a USA trip.
Swisscom Cockpit shows roaming allowances, costs and limits for internet, calls and SMS. Check USA coverage and your active allowance separately from your OrientPass data plan.
These are data-only USA plans: no US phone number or SMS service, and no Canada or Mexico coverage. Calls and SMS on your home line remain subject to your own carrier’s terms. Coverage and speed depend on your location, network and phone.
You may already have suitable USA roaming. Check your allowance and charges first. These are examples for travelers based in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, not rules for every carrier.
Check your tariff’s included roaming allowance and Travel & Surf or Travel Mobil options for the USA.
Check your active Roaming Pass or other option, USA coverage and usage in Mein A1. Eligibility and charging depend on your tariff.
Use Cockpit to check included roaming credit, USA packages and your roaming spending limit.
