eSIM options grow for travelers and smartphone users

Prepaid eSIM plans are promoted for visitors to the United States, offering fixed‑price data packages that can be activated before arrival and used immediately in cities such as New York, Miami and Los Angeles. The guides suggest checking phone compatibility, scanning a QR code, and selecting a plan duration that matches the trip.

A 2025 device list highlights smartphones that support embedded SIM technology, including Apple iPhone 16 series, Samsung Galaxy S24/Ultra models and Google Pixel 9 devices, many of which allow dual‑eSIM profiles for seamless carrier switching while abroad.

Alt eSIM announced a $8.1 12‑day unlimited‑data package for the Principality of Liechtenstein. Customers receive a QR code to install the eSIM on compatible phones—such as iPhone XS and later, Samsung Galaxy S20 and later, or Google Pixel models—and can access the internet without swapping a physical SIM.
