During your trip you would ofcourse like to stay in touch with friends or share you experiences on your social media. You don’t have to constantly look for free wifi. With a USA sim card or esim you are connected, wherever you are in the USA.
Which sim you need depends on your smartphone. If it doesn’t support dual sim, you’ll need a physical sim card which you can use instead of your current sim card. If you have a dual sim smartphone, there are 2 options.
1. You have a second sim slot in which you can insert a second sim card.
2. Your smartphone supports esim, which is a digital sim card. Esims can be found on iPhones from version Xs (Xs, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15).
For the sim cards you also have the choice to just use data, or also make calls and send text messages.
