Thank you TravelTom for the great advice. I'll pass it on to a friend who is flying from Scotland to meet us in NYC.
Ah cool. Happy to help
Trust me I’m always traveling to the United States it is expensive but it is the best option
A really wonderful clip very well recorded an useful. Best of!! Thanks.
Happy to hear I could help
Having, like you, traveled the world, it is absolutely RIDICULOUS that there aren't better options at the airports in US. I'm so happy to live in Taiwan where I'm not bombarded with offensive rip-offs everywhere I look.
Yes really they should start doing some proper business on Sim cards for prepaid customers like tourist in the USA
Thank you for such an informative vlog!

Thank you; I purchases an Airalo sim as per your advise and it works perfect in USA. The e sim is the best option !!!
Thank you very much for your feedback. I really appreciate it.
No for allí phones
Once again it worked very well in Japan last month.
My understanding is that eSIM are basically for data, not for phone calls like a physical SIM card.
Also, airports are the most expensive place to purchase SIM cards. Go to a phone store for better pricing.
Safe travels traveltomtom
Thank you
Just so people will know, E-Sim cards are basically for data only. A physical sim card will give you phone & data.
The US is the absolute worst when it comes to prepaid sims. So when I travel to the US, I usually buy it online - Mint or US Mobile - they both have esims, and you can buy a month. I find those 2 the most economical. You can set it up before you leave.
Google Fi is a good suggestion
Nope I disagree, I had a lot of problems with it as I was trying it out for my blog and then gave up on it.
Google fi is great!!! Has worked for me in over 50 counties already. I land and my phone works as I disembark the plan. None of that nonsense of looking for SIM cards for every country. What problem did you have with it? By the way nice Rimowa!
Esim cards don work for all fone models. Not for mine for example
Thank you for this vidéo.
Very useful.
How to get to the city from the airport with minimum budget? (Metro, bus?)
Yes there is a possibility to take the bus/metro. But when you arrive at like 01.00 am or after that becomes a little difficult. But still possible…
Can you buy prepay sim card in orlando international airport. ?? Please let me know if anyone knows
I like your suitcase where can I get it?
Not everyone has a E sim card for their iPhone I think it’s better cause u don’t have to use your data roaming and yes while your in the airport you’ll have free Wi-Fi but as soon as you leave get a taxi Uber or shuttle bus you are not going to have any service to make a call or internet and I buy the 80 one it last for a month
MVNO sim cards are the cheapest. Convienence stores like 7-11 sell prepaid sim cards and grocery stores too. Us airports are the worst place to buy sim cards.
Hello, I would like to ask how to choose transportation from JFK to Manhattan. What is advantageous. thank you for the advice
I want to also know how :)
Hi Tom , esim works in LAX airport ?
Can I buy a American SIM card from China? Can American sim receive messages when I use it in China?
But eSIM is not for all kind of phones
Yes true. See link in description
My phone doesn's support esim cards and there seem to be no deliveries of international sim cards in my country (Zimbabwe)...looks like I have no choice but to buy a prepaid sim at JFK :(
In New york City, if you go to the store, you get it for 40 dollars unlimited everything
Store? Which store?
@@TravelTomTom any Tmobile or AT&T store, while you walk in the city you can go to the store and pay $40 for unlimited data, talk and text. NEVER BUY SIM in airports. Every time I travel to a new country I buy the sim in the city and I save lot of money.
@andresd90 Yo I'm going there in August but still I'm mentally preparing myself right now for this because why not...
Has anything changed since you wrote this comment? Or is it still better to go to a local store?
@@andresd90Alright and what about phone credit? Should I also purchase that in the store? Or should I use Whatsapp/Snapchat to make calls?
@@andresd90$40 for how long?
Those prices in the airport are pretty much a scam. If your phone has ESIM, I would reccomend US Mobile. If not, I would reccomend going to a grocery/convinence store and getting a TracFone prepaid sim.
Yes agreed. Airport sim cards are really expensive. Simply get an esim for USA: www.traveltomtom.net/destinations/north-america/usa/best-esim-cards-for-usa
IAM VERY VERY VERY HAPPEY TRUE LIVE AIRPLANE ✈ BETWEEN NEW YORK AND TOKYO AIRPORT AND ARIVVED ALL PEOPLE WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM TAKING OFF TRIPP DAMAGE DEFICULT BUT FELLING VERY GOOD HAPPEY NICE BEAUTIFUL HIGH HIGH
I wish I've watched this before my trip to NYC, I bought the sim card for JFK airport, paid 20 USD and only lasted for 30 minutes or less, total scam....(I went to AT&T later on and paid 40USD for 5GB)
Thanks for that. For the AT&T stores, are they everywhere in New York ? And is the duration of this deal for 1 month ?
US people help me pay my sim cards bills i must have us dollats
Ok
Wallmart has good deals.
Sure does I agree
Yes but how does a tourist get to a Wallmart? Then they need to take a taxi which costs them another fortune. Not recommended for a tourist in my opinion.
Yes you call what we have in America Uber
@@tiakofi8241 How to call Uber without internet?
I do not know too much about uber even though I live in the united states never had had to use it because I have always had a car and from a very very small town
All we need is data
nobody cares about phone calls and text
Exactly
