MiSimCard is the best eSIM for traveling to the United States from Colombia
Traveling to the United States and don't want to pay the high roaming costs of Claro, Movistar or Tigo? An eSIM is now the fastest, most affordable and simplest way to have internet the moment you land, without changing your physical SIM or losing your WhatsApp number.
In this guide we explain how much it costs, how it works and how to choose the right plan for your trip to the USA.
Why use an eSIM instead of roaming?
International roaming from Colombian carriers usually charges per MB used or for expensive daily bundles, with fine print and speed throttling once you pass a certain amount of usage. An international eSIM, on the other hand, gives you unlimited data at a fixed price, with no surprises on your bill when you get back.
Plus, you don't need to visit a store or wait for a physical SIM to be shipped: the eSIM installs in minutes from your own phone.
United States eSIM prices (2026)
Plans are priced by travel days, and all of them include unlimited data:
As you can see, the more days you travel, the better the price per day. A 30-day plan, for example, works out to less than $1 USD a day for unlimited internet.
What does the plan include?
- Unlimited 4G/5G internet across the United States, with no speed limits or cuts.
- Unlimited calls within the United States, to mobiles and landlines — ideal for booking an Uber, calling a restaurant or contacting your hotel.
- Connection to the best networks in the country: T-Mobile, Verizon and AT&T.
- Hotspot / data sharing with other devices or travelers who are with you.
- Instant activation: you get the QR code by email as soon as you buy, with no waiting for shipping.
- Keep your Colombian SIM active to keep receiving important texts and calls while you use the eSIM just for data.
Coverage across the whole country
This eSIM works in all the cities most visited by Colombian travelers: New York, Miami, Orlando, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Washington D.C., Chicago, San Francisco, Houston, Dallas and virtually any destination in the United States.
Is my phone compatible?
Before buying, check that your phone supports eSIM technology. It's very easy:
- Dial *#06# in your phone's calling app.
- If a code called EID appears on the screen, your phone is compatible.
- If it doesn't appear, don't worry — there's also a physical SIM card option.
Most iPhones (from the XS onwards) and recent Samsung, Pixel and other models are compatible.
When should I install the eSIM?
We recommend installing it (scanning the QR code) 1 day before arriving at your destination, ideally on stable Wi-Fi. The plan doesn't activate until you turn on mobile data once you're in the United States, so you can buy and install it in advance without losing any days of your plan.
When you land, just turn on mobile data — you don't need to turn on "roaming" — and you'll connect automatically to the best available network.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to turn on data roaming?
No. Just turn on your regular mobile data; the eSIM connects to the local network on its own, with no roaming or hidden charges.
Can I share my data with someone else?
Yes, you can turn on your phone's hotspot and share the connection with whoever is traveling with you.
What happens if I lose the QR code?
You can message us on WhatsApp or chat 24/7 and we'll resend the code at no extra cost.
Can I keep using WhatsApp with my Colombian number?
Yes. The eSIM is used only for data, while your physical SIM stays active for calls, texts and WhatsApp with your usual number.
