Roaming or eSIM: which is cheaper from the US
In short
Against each US carrier’s public day or travel pass, for 7 days at 0.8 GB a day, our eSIM costs less in 154 of 193 destinations (checked October 29, 2026); if your plan already includes data abroad, you may not need an eSIM. In 37 it depends on your carrier, or the prices are about the same. Roaming costs less, or may already be in your plan, in Mexico and Canada.

- Mexico and Canada may be included on some postpaid or prepaid plans of 8 of the 9 carriers we compare.

Roaming with your US carrier against a travel eSIM, destination by destination (16 US carriers listed; 9 with published passes compared), with carrier prices from their own pages. This site is not affiliated with these carriers and is not their official site; we sell eSIMs. How we compare.
AT&T roaming, on your bill $84.00 7 × International Day Pass · 1 day · your plan’s data · postpaid only As published by AT&T (checked on October 29, 2026). AT&T’s International Day Pass costs $12 a day per line in 210+ destinations ($6 for each additional line used the same day), and AT&T’s cruise page says it charges no more than 10 days in a billing cycle: $120 at most, by our arithmetic. The 24-hour day starts the first time you use data, send a text, or make or accept a phone call there; you use your home plan’s data. Eligible AT&T plans include Mexico and Canada (Roam North America; roaming may be at 2G speeds). AT&T Premium 2.0 and Elite 2.0 include 20 Latin American countries, and Elite 2.0 includes 20GB a month of high-speed data in the 210+ destinations on its list, then up to 512Kbps. AT&T Prepaid sells an International Travel Add-On: 5GB for 7 days for $40. Without a pass, data costs $2.05 per MB.
Travel eSIM, data only $11.99 5GB · 30 days Your card is charged exactly $11.99: you are charged exactly the price shown, in US dollars.
With the eSIM you pay $72.01 less.
See eSIM plans for Europe Carrier prices checked on October 29, 2026, before taxes and fees: AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, Xfinity Mobile, Spectrum Mobile, Visible, Google Fi, Cricket, Boost Mobile. If the trip is longer than a pass, we add passes of the same kind; AT&T’s cruise page says it charges its Day Pass for no more than 10 days in a bill cycle. “Included” means some of the carrier’s plans already cover the destination: check yours. Roaming keeps calls and texts on your US number; the eSIM plans compared here are data only. The eSIM is paid by card, exactly the price shown. This site is not affiliated with these carriers; we sell eSIMs.
Your US carrier vs eSIM, by trip length
0.8GB a day: 5.6GB for 7 days, 12GB for 15 days and 24GB for 30 days. For each of the 9 US carriers with published passes, the way that costs least to cover the trip: possibly in the plan, a day pass or passes. We compare each carrier’s public day passes and travel passes. Some plans have high-speed data abroad built in, then reduced speed (for example AT&T Elite 2.0, T-Mobile Experience More and Beyond, Verizon’s and Google Fi’s top plans), and many include Mexico and Canada, so check your own plan. The week covers every destination with a carrier pass; 15 and 30 days, the 40 most visited from the US.

Mexico, 30 days, eSIM 20 GB · 30 days + 5 GB · 30 days:
Your card is charged exactly $43.98 — how card payment works.
Carrier prices as published for their own customers, before taxes and fees, checked on October 29, 2026; some passes are for postpaid or prepaid lines only, as marked. On roaming your US number also takes calls and texts; the eSIM plans compared here are data only. The eSIM at its price, charged by card exactly as shown. How roaming works with each US carrier: roaming from the US.
When roaming is the better choice
Mexico and Canada. AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, Xfinity Mobile, Spectrum Mobile, Visible, Google Fi and Cricket include them on some plans, on the plans each carrier names: if yours does, a travel eSIM may not be needed there.
A plan with data abroad built in. We compare each carrier’s public day passes and travel passes. Some plans have high-speed data abroad built in, then reduced speed (for example AT&T Elite 2.0, T-Mobile Experience More and Beyond, Verizon’s and Google Fi’s top plans), and many include Mexico and Canada, so check your own plan. If that allowance is enough for your trip, roaming costs nothing extra.
A day or two abroad. A day pass outside Mexico and Canada (AT&T $12.00 (postpaid), Verizon $12.00 (postpaid) and T-Mobile $10.00 (postpaid, 1-day pass)) is about the price of an eSIM for a short trip, and your plan’s data or the pass allowance comes with it.
When an eSIM is the better choice
A week or longer on a day pass. A daily charge adds up: seven days on AT&T’s International Day Pass cost $84.00; AT&T’s cruise page says it stops charging after 10 days in a bill cycle. The longer the trip, the more an eSIM saves.
Beyond Mexico and Canada. In Europe, Asia and the Caribbean, the public options are a day pass, a travel pass or paying by the MB, unless your plan has data abroad built in. We compare public packages: check your plan.
Using both. Data goes through the eSIM; your US line stays on for calls and texts, with its data roaming switched off.
Frequently asked questions
Is roaming or an eSIM cheaper from the US?
Against each US carrier’s public day or travel pass, for 7 days at 0.8 GB a day, our eSIM costs less in 154 of 193 destinations (checked October 29, 2026); if your plan already includes data abroad, you may not need an eSIM. 16 US carriers listed; 9 with published passes compared. We compare each carrier’s public day passes and travel passes. Some plans have high-speed data abroad built in, then reduced speed (for example AT&T Elite 2.0, T-Mobile Experience More and Beyond, Verizon’s and Google Fi’s top plans), and many include Mexico and Canada, so check your own plan. In 37 the answer depends on your carrier, or the prices are about the same. Roaming costs less, or may already be in your plan, in Mexico and Canada.
When is roaming the better choice?
Mexico and Canada may already be included in your plan with AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, Xfinity Mobile, Spectrum Mobile, Visible, Google Fi and Cricket, on the plans each carrier names: check yours. On a trip of a day or two, a day pass outside Mexico and Canada (AT&T $12.00 (postpaid), Verizon $12.00 (postpaid) and T-Mobile $10.00 (postpaid, 1-day pass)) is close to the price of an eSIM. If you need lots of data, or travel for a week or longer, an eSIM usually costs less.
Does postpaid or prepaid matter?
It can. AT&T charges postpaid lines $12.00 a day for its International Day Pass, while AT&T Prepaid sells its International Travel Add-On: 5GB for 7 days for $40.00. Xfinity Mobile and Spectrum Mobile publish passes for postpaid lines; Visible, Cricket and Boost Mobile are prepaid. The table shows the way that costs least with each carrier, with the plan type next to it.
Will my US number still work abroad with an eSIM?
Yes, if you keep your US line switched on for calls and texts, for example two-factor (2FA) codes. What calls and texts cost abroad depends on your carrier and plan. Most of our plans are data only, with no phone number; check the plan’s calls and SMS.
How do you compare the prices?
Each trip assumes 0.8GB of data a day. For each carrier we take the way that costs least to cover the trip: the destination possibly already in the plan, a day pass or a set of passes, at the price the carrier publishes before taxes and fees. For the eSIM we take our own price in US dollars, the amount your card is charged. “eSIM is cheaper than paid passes” means every carrier’s least expensive public pass costs at least 1.2 times the eSIM, before any plan that may include the destination; between 0.9 and 1.2 times we call it about the same price. This site is not affiliated with the carriers; we sell eSIMs.
