A city trip and a road trip need different preparation
A New York visit might centre on maps, messages and tickets. A road trip can add long navigation sessions and time away from a dependable Wi-Fi connection. Save maps for the intended route and download essential documents before you leave.
For rural routes or national-park visits, look at the selected plan’s network information and prepare for places without usable reception. A country-wide product name is not a promise of signal at every stop. If you plan to work from a laptop, check hotspot support and include the laptop’s background data in your budget.

Does a USA eSIM also work in Canada or Mexico?
A USA-only plan should not be assumed to do so. The selections here list US coverage. Choose a plan that explicitly includes every country on your route if you need cross-border data.
Check the supported-country list for the exact plan in the app. Local signal, your device and the selected network affect the connection; a coverage code is not a promise of service at every location.
Get ready before departure
The selected catalog plans list the first network connection as their billing start. Follow the exact order instructions and avoid connecting to a supported network before you intend to start the plan.
- Check that your phone supports eSIM and is carrier-unlocked.
- Buy the plan in Stellar eSIM and follow its installation steps over a reliable connection.
- When you are ready to use it, select the travel eSIM for mobile data and follow its roaming instructions.
- Test a small web page and monitor the remaining data during the trip.

VPN access and top-ups
Stellar VPN is included for your eSIM plan’s validity period. Set up the separate VPN app using the access details supplied with your order; the eSIM purchase does not automatically connect the VPN.
Top-up support varies by plan. Check whether a top-up adds data, extends validity or is unavailable before relying on it for a longer stay. Read our plan-selection guide if you are comparing several options.
