eSIM for United States

Choose your package

Which eSIM plan suits a trip to the United States?

There are 42 plans for United States, starting from USD 0.60. The right one depends on how long you stay and how much you use your phone away from hotel Wi-Fi.

• Short visits: a small plan of a few days covers maps, ride apps and messages for a weekend or a stopover.
• Holidays and work trips: a mid-size plan lasting a week or two leaves room for photos, video calls and navigation on long drives.
• Long stays: plans run up to 365 days and up to 100 GB, so you can keep one eSIM for months.

If you stream, share your connection or simply prefer not to count, an unlimited plan is also on sale.

Can you buy an eSIM online for the USA?

Yes. You buy on Ahlano in Arabic or English, pay by card or Apple Pay, and receive a QR code or a one-tap install link. Your phone needs to be unlocked and support eSIM, so take a moment to check the list of phones that support eSIM before you pay.

How to install your eSIM before you land

1. Choose your plan for United States and complete the payment.
2. Open the QR code or the install link on your phone, ideally while you still have Wi-Fi at home or at the airport.
3. When you arrive, switch on the eSIM line and turn on data roaming for it.

Can you still use WhatsApp with a US eSIM?

Your Ahlano eSIM is a data plan, and WhatsApp runs over data. That means your chats, voice notes and calls keep working on the account you already have, while your home SIM can stay in the phone.

Travelling on to Canada or Mexico?

If your trip crosses a border, a plan for the wider North America region may save you from buying a second eSIM.

Crossing borders? Regional plans that include United States

• Global From USD 1.02
• North America From USD 5.62
