Internet in the USA 2024 - how to use it?

Added: 17.01.2024, Updated: 28.01.2024,

When traveling, it is a good idea to have constant access to the Internet. In the United States it does not pay to use Polish SIM cards - roaming in this country is extremely expensive. How to ensure internet in the US during a trip?

Free Wi-Fi

A popular option among tourists is to use public, free Wi-Fi networks. They can be found in libraries, restaurants, shopping centers, subway stations or at major monuments. However, such networks are quite dangerous. Data transmitted over them can be easily intercepted. Free Wi-Fi networks are also characterized by rather slow Internet speeds, so they will not work well, among other things, when working remotely.

Internet in the USA - SIM card from local operator

The second solution is to purchase a SIM card from a local operator. However, it is important to remember that equipment purchased in Europe may have a SIM-lock. American cellular plans are also quite expensive, so they may not be cost-effective for shorter trips of several days. What's more, some SIM cards prevent Internet sharing with other devices, so they can be problematic on trips with a larger group. Then only the person in whose smartphone the card is in will have access to the network.

In the United States, eSIM cards are more popular. However, not all smartphones are able to support this technology. Such an option is available only in newer models of popular phones. Fortunately, there is another way to get online in the US.

Mobile router on eSIM with internet in the US

An extremely convenient solution is a mobile router on eSIM from XOXO WiFi. It provides access to a private network, so there is no risk of data interception by strangers. It allows you to connect even several devices at the same time, which is much more convenient than US SIM cards.

The router on eSIM automatically connects to the best available network. This allows it to work in almost any location. It will work great for road trips, including if they include several neighboring countries. The router switches between networks automatically, at no extra charge.

The routers from XOXO WiFi can be ordered already in Poland. As a result, right after arriving in the United States, you don't have to worry about having to buy a SIM card or search for an available Wi-Fi network. All you need to do is connect to your own router and you already have internet in the US. Such a solution greatly improves the journey from the airport to the hotel and the first steps in a new country.
