What do we advise?
We always used an eSIM on our trips to New York. We usually bought this eSIM from Airalo. Here you can buy different data bundles to use the internet in New York. In the beginning, we always bought a 10GB data bundle, but due to the many options to use the various WiFi networks in New York for free, we used up the data bundle and switched to a 5GB data bundle. And that is really more than enough, because the WiFi networks in New York are really very good and you can use a WiFi network for free almost everywhere, even in the subway and most shopping centers.
eSIM Airalo 3GB
If you only use the internet in New York to send WhatsApp and the route planner, an eSIM with a data bundle of 3 GB is sufficient.
eSIM Airalo 5GB
If you use social media a lot and make a lot of calls with WhatsApp, it is best to use an eSIM with a data bundle of 5 GB to use the internet in New York.
