The United States is a huge country and there are several mobile providers. The two biggest ones are T-Mobile and Verizon. You’ll find other popular networks such as AT&T, Google Fi, and more.
I’d recommend buying a SIM card directly in the mobile provider store. Note, that you may need your passport in order to buy one. It’s also important to note that SIM cards in the United States are not among the cheapest.
If you wish to have your SIM card ready for your arrival, you could purchase it online on websites like Amazon.
eSIM is a new concept allowing you to have a virtual SIM card inside your phone. If your mobile phone supports eSIM cards – it’s definitely the best option to get data in the United States.
I believe the United States has a lot to catch up on regarding SIM cards, and Data prepaid plans for travelers. In many countries, you can get a SIM card at more affordable rates, easily – but the United States makes it more complicated for travelers.
