eSIM for Miami
For a week in Miami, 2,90 € with 1 GB is enough if you sleep somewhere with Wi-Fi. For two weeks, or if the trip stretches to Orlando and the Keys, 5,90 € with 3 GB. The plan covers the whole United States, so driving from Miami to Key West or heading up to the parks means changing nothing.

You pick up the rental car at the airport and ten minutes later you're on a six-lane highway where every exit has a number and none has a name. The sat nav is all that stands between you and ending up in Fort Lauderdale.
Miami is a city you drive
And that changes the maths. In a city you walk, you glance at your phone now and then; here the sat nav stays on, recalculating, hunting for parking and checking tolls. It's still not much — an hour of navigation is around 5 MB — but it adds up if you drive every day.
| Trip | Estimated usage | Plan |
|---|---|---|
| A week in Miami, no daily driving | 0,7 – 1,2 GB | 7 days · 1 GB — 2,90 € |
| A week with a car and the sat nav on daily | 1,2 – 2 GB | 15 days · 3 GB — 5,90 € |
| Two weeks: Miami, Orlando and the Keys | 2,5 – 4 GB | 15 days · 3 GB — 5,90 € |
| A family sharing a single plan | 4 – 8 GB | 30 days · 10 GB — 11,90 € |
If you're travelling as a family, the numbers usually work out better with one big plan shared from a single phone than with four small plans. The only cost is the battery of whoever plays router: bring a car charger.
If you carry on to Orlando or the Keys
There's nothing to do. Same country, same plan, so the eSIM keeps working on the Keys highway, in the Orlando parks and anywhere else you decide to drive. Coverage is Verizon's and AT&T's across Florida.
In the Everglades and on some stretches of the Overseas Highway the signal dips or vanishes. That's the area's problem, not the card's: nobody has coverage out there.
Will it do for the Orlando parks?
Yes, the plan covers the whole country. Inside the parks there's coverage and their own Wi-Fi too, though with big crowds it slows down. Having your own data is what keeps the queue app working right when you need it most.
Does the car sat nav use much data?
Less than you'd think: an hour of navigation on Google Maps is around 5 MB. What does use data is streaming music the whole way, which can run to 100 MB an hour.
Can I use it as a hotspot for the kids' tablet?
Yes, the plans allow hotspot sharing. Bear in mind that video on a tablet burns through data fast: if cartoons in the car are the plan, download them beforehand on the hotel Wi-Fi.
