New York guide / Staying online

A US roaming bill is the worst one to come home to

The United States is among the most expensive roaming lanes out of Europe and Asia, and conference Wi-Fi is not an alternative when fifteen thousand people are standing on it.

A US roaming bill is the worst one to come home to

What it costs to do nothing

Most European and Asian carriers bill the United States by the day, at a rate that beats the price of a whole travel plan within about two days.

What to do about it

Install the eSIM at home on Wi-Fi before you fly, and leave the line switched off until you land.

Your normal number stays live on its own line, so bank codes and calls still reach you.

Two conference days, a week of side events, and a city where your phone is the map, the ticket and the introduction.

None of this works without data

Unlimited data in New York from $18.56, paid by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay for the same plan. Installed on home Wi-Fi before you fly, live the moment you switch off flight mode.
