The United States is the most requested destination for a no-KYC eSIM, and for a practical reason rather than a philosophical one: the big three carriers will not sell a visitor a prepaid line without a US address, and the airport kiosks that do exist mark prices up heavily. Anon eSIM attaches to Verizon, AT&T or T-Mobile at $1.40 per GB with no address, no ID and no account.
United States data pricing
One rate: $1.40/GB, metered per MB against a prepaid USD balance — this is how our no-KYC eSIM works, and the balance never expires. No daily passes, no expiring bundles, no throttling tiers - unused credit stays on your eSIM forever and works in the next country you visit.
| Top-up | Data in United States | Effective rate |
|---|---|---|
| $5.00 | ≈ 3.6 GB | $1.40/GB |
| $10.00 | ≈ 7.1 GB | $1.40/GB |
| $20.00 | ≈ 14.3 GB | $1.40/GB |
| $50.00 | ≈ 35.7 GB | $1.40/GB |
A one-time $5 setup fee applies to a brand-new eSIM; top-ups to an existing eSIM carry no fee. Rates are pay-as-you-go, so light days cost cents and heavy days just draw down the balance faster.
Arriving in the United States
There are no useful prepaid counters at JFK, LAX, SFO, MIA or ORD; the T-Mobile and AT&T stores you pass in arrivals want a US billing address and photo ID for a new line. Install the eSIM at home on Wi-Fi before you fly, turn on Data Roaming for the Anon eSIM line only, and you will be on LTE or 5G before you reach the taxi rank. If you forgot, airport Wi-Fi is free at every major US hub and the install takes about a minute.
How much data does a United States trip use?
Two-week trip: maps, rideshare, messaging, some social and video
14 days · 4–7 GB · $ 5.60–$9.80 at $1.40/GB
US cities are data-hungry because everything runs through an app: Uber/Lyft, mobile boarding passes, restaurant QR menus, Apple Pay and transit apps. Budget 300–500 MB a day; 4–7 GB for two weeks costs $5.60–$9.80. Streaming a film on hotel Wi-Fi rather than mobile keeps you at the low end.
Networks and speeds in the United States
Anon eSIM connects through roaming agreements with Verizon and AT&T and T-Mobile, with 4G LTE / 5G typically available to roamers. Your phone picks the strongest partner signal automatically and re-selects as you move - there is nothing to configure.
Excellent in metro areas and along interstates. Expect LTE rather than 5G in rural stretches of the Mountain West and national parks.
Roaming profiles in the US generally land on T-Mobile's n41 5G in cities (fast, sometimes 300 Mbps+), and on AT&T or Verizon LTE where T-Mobile is thin. Expect LTE rather than 5G in national parks and along rural interstates; there is no terrestrial coverage in large parts of Nevada, Utah, Montana and Alaska on any network. Indoors in big-box stores and older hotels, 5G drops to LTE, which is still ample for navigation and messaging.
The APN is provisioned automatically with the eSIM profile. You do not need to enter APN settings manually on iOS or Android - the only switch you must flip is Data Roaming: ON for the Anon eSIM line, because the service is technically a roaming profile everywhere it operates.

In-country context: United States
The US has no federal SIM-registration law, so on paper a prepaid SIM is anonymous. In practice, Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile require a US address (and usually a US card) to activate, and the FCC's prepaid guidance leaves identity checks to carrier policy. The workaround visitors used for years — Mint or Cricket SIMs from a supermarket — increasingly requires an online activation tied to a US address too. A roaming eSIM issued abroad avoids the whole problem: to the US network you are a visiting subscriber of a foreign operator, and nobody in the chain has asked who you are.
On arrival: JFK, LAX, and MIA have no useful local prepaid kiosks - the T-Mobile / AT&T outlets you see require a US address. Install your Anon eSIM before boarding and you're on Verizon/AT&T/T-Mobile the moment you land.
Typical speeds: 50-200 Mbps on 4G LTE in cities; 200-800 Mbps on mmWave 5G where available. Prices from the live rates data: $1.40/GB, metered per MB against a prepaid USD balance.
Registration status
Registration by carrier policy
Anon eSIM sidesteps this entirely - the eSIM is issued from an ID-free jurisdiction and you use it as a visitor's roaming SIM in United States. No local paperwork.
Anon eSIM vs a local the United States SIM and mainstream eSIMs
A T-Mobile Prepaid Connect line is $15 for 5 GB but needs a US address; Airalo's 5 GB / 30-day USA plan is around $16 and needs an email account. Anon eSIM at $1.40/GB is $7 for the same 5 GB, needs nothing, and the balance you do not use is still there for your next trip to Mexico or Canada. The honest downside: no US phone number, so use WhatsApp, Signal or a VoIP app for calls.

United States eSIM FAQ
Does Anon eSIM work on 5G in the United States?
+
Yes where the partner network offers 5G to roamers — most commonly T-Mobile's mid-band 5G in metro areas. Elsewhere you get LTE, which is what most US prepaid customers are on anyway. Speeds of 50–200 Mbps on LTE and 200–800 Mbps on 5G are typical in cities.
Can I get a US phone number without ID?
+
Not from us — Anon eSIM is data-only. Every no-KYC eSIM is. For calls, use WhatsApp, Signal, FaceTime or a VoIP app; for an inbound US number, a separate VoIP service such as a data-only number provider is the usual pairing, and its own privacy is a separate question.
Is it cheaper than buying a SIM at a US airport?
+
Almost always. Airport kiosks and tourist SIM vendors charge $30–50 for 5–10 GB and often require passport details for the carrier's records. At $1.40/GB you pay $7–14 for the same data, and there is no expiry, so a 3-day work trip does not waste a 30-day plan.
Will it work in Canada and Mexico on the same eSIM?
+
Yes. Cross the border and the eSIM re-attaches to Bell, Rogers or Telus in Canada ($1.80/GB) or Telcel in Mexico ($1.40/GB) automatically. Same balance, same QR code, no new plan.
Do I need to give the eSIM a US address or SSN?
+
No. There is no form. Pay $5 or more by card, Apple Pay, Lightning or USDT, save your recovery token, scan the QR. A visitor with no US address, SSN or credit history gets exactly the same service as anyone else.
