Advantages of an eSIM when you travel to the USA
Sure, you could travel without having an internet connection, but it’s definitely not convenient for most people nowadays. Most likely you need to pull up directions for your hotel, or you need to navigate through a city or you want to order an Uber. For all that and more you will need an internet connection. You could also connect to a local public WiFi connection but depending where you travel, most connections are unsecure, especially in open-air locations, or there is poor reception or slow speed.
An eSIM, embedded SIM, or electronic SIM, is a digital or virtual SIM card that is built into a device, such as a smartphone, tablet, or smartwatch, rather than being a physical, removable card like a traditional SIM card. eSIM technology replaces the need for a physical SIM card by storing the necessary subscriber information and network credentials directly on the device’s hardware.
How does an eSIM from RedBull MOBILE work?
First, check if your system is compatible with eSIM.
Download the Red Bull MOBILE Data app to see if your device is eSim compatible. You can also check if your smartphone is supported by looking up the settings:
iOS devices: Go to Settings > Mobile Data or Cellular Data, if you have the Add Mobile Plan or Add Data Plan option, your iPhone supports eSIMs.
Supported devices include iPhone XS, XR and newer models
Android devices: Go to Settings > Connections > SIM card manager. If you have the “Add mobile plan” option, your smartphone supports eSIMs.
The majority of newer Android smartphones are supported including the Samsung Galaxy S20 or newer models, Google Pixel 3 or newer models, Huawei P40 and many more.
Once you have checked if your system is compatible you will then set up your eSIM.
Start the app and follow the instructions to set up an eSIM on your smartphone.
After your eSIM is set up you will select your destination and your bundle.
Choose the plan that suits you best and buy your USA eSIM card directly in the app. The first 100MB are completely free of charge!
When your plan is activated you can roam the world and surf like a local.
Your physical SIM will stay connected and your Red Bull MOBILE eSIM will too — they work simultaneously. You can select which of the two SIMs you want to use for data connectivity in your settings.
You can switch between different subscription profiles on your device by simply selecting the desired profile in the device’s settings. This change can be made without a physical SIM card swap.
This is a data-only plan, so there’s no need for a new phone number.
The eSIM from RedBull MOBILE is very easy to use, but if you have questions or experience technical issues you can reach us by email or our 24 hour chat support. We’re here to help.
When you’ve used up 80% of your data, we’ll let you know — so you won’t get stuck without any data. You’ll get another notification once your data has finally run out.
Using eSIM with the Red Bull MOBILE Data App for roaming offers several advantages compared to traditional physical SIM cards. Data roaming has become much easier, more efficient and cost-effective with the use of eSIM.
