Free eSIM Plans: The Simplest Options

Free eSIM Services & Options

Here are the best USA free eSIM services you can get today:

Visible eSIM Free Trial

Visible Free eSim Trial

The Visible eSim free trial is one worth checking out. And before you hesitate with an unknown brand, let me tell you that Visible is a prepaid brand that is owned by Verizon

Visible offers  a 15-day free eSIM trial service, so you get plenty of time to figure out if you like it or not and this is what is included:

• Free calls
• Free texts
• Free data

And the other great thing about this free trial from Visible is that you don’t even have to enter a credit card. There is seriously no commitment to join. Just as long as you were not part of Visible in the last 12 months, you are good to go.

One small hiccup though is that you need a compatible iPhone to get your eSIM trail working.

Once your free trial is done, you can jump on to any of their paid plans including:

• $30 a month for unlimited  calls, texts, and data with both 4G and 5G
• $40 a month gets you wider 5G and access to their Premium Network

Cricket Free eSIM Trial

Cricket free trial

Of course, Cricket also has a trial with a free eSim if you are looking to change networks. Theirs is a 14-day trial with

• Unlimited talk & text
• 3 GB of data

You get access to Cricket’s 5G network and it works with either compatible iPhones or Android devices. All they want you to do is get the Cricket App and go from there. It is quite easy, so don’t sweat the process.

And they give you a cricket number with their free eSIM, so you are not committing as much as with US Mobile below which is something I like about this plan. The amount of data is very limited though, so be aware of that.

US Mobile eSIM Free Trial

US Mobile offers a 100-day eSIM free trial that allows you to test their network at no cost. During the free eSIM trial, you can try out their plan and use

• unlimited calls
• unlimited texts
• up to 50GB of data on Verizon’s network

Yes,  you need an eSIM-compatible phone and a number to port in. So, you won’t lose your number either. 

It is a bit of commitment though, as unlike the other plans on this list, you are more or less “moving” to their network during the free trial. And, you only get 50GB for 100 days (so just over 3 months), which many heavy users won’t find enough.

The free trial is available for both iPhone and Android devices that can use an eSIM, which is great news for non-iPhone owners.

Mint Mobile eSIM Free Trial

Mint mobile free trial

Mint Mobile is offering a 7-day free eSIM trial with their wireless service. Their free trial includes:

• 250 minutes of calls
• 250 text messages
• 250MB of data (both 5G and 4G LTE).

Mint’s eSim plan works on the T-Mobile network and offers both 5G and 4G LTE, so you know they are not skimping on this free service.

You will need an unlocked phone compatible with Mint Mobile and a credit card, of course. Because after the free trial, you will have to pay for more data.

Download the Mint Mobile App to keep track of how much data, calls and texts you use, so you know when you are running out. And, you can also switch plans in the app, which I find super convenient with all eSims, free or not.

Mint emphasizes that this is a free trial eSim and that you are not locked in to any plan. So, if you just want to try it out, go for it!

T-Mobile eSIM Free Trial

Why not try T-Mobile’s eSIM free trial instead? They are offering 3 months of unlimited access to their mobile network via eSIM. NO strings attached really. The only limit is that your calls and texts stay with your existing provider. Which honestly, is the best way to do it.

Here is a quick summary of the T-Mobile free trial:

• Unlimited data
• Calls & texts stay with your existing provider
• 3-month free trial
• Hotspot available when your phone is not compatible

So, it is really a way to try out T-Mobile’s leading 5G network to see if their data is really up to scratch.

Of course, you need an unlocked and compatible phone for it to work, but that is the same for all free trials on this list.

You will have to download the T-Mobile App to get it all working of course, but that is something I recommend with all eSIM plans. After all, you are now entering the tech age of eSIMs, so it makes sense to use an eSIM app!

Google Fi eSIM Free Trial

Google Fi free trial

Google Fi offers a free 7-day eSIM trial too. This allows you to test their network data speed and quality at no cost to yourself. During their free trial, you can make use of

• unlimited data
• unlimited calls and texts in the US
• hotspot tethering
• built-in VPN, and spam call blocking

The only drawback is that if you use more than 10GB of data, you’ll experience slower data speeds during the trial. But, it is only a 7-day free trial, so you should be ok.

As with every free eSIM on this list, you need an unlocked, eSIM-compatible phone. Plus, you will need a Google account.

At the end of the trial, you’ll automatically move to the Simply Unlimited Plan for $50/month.
