Is one eSIM enough for LA day trips to Malibu or Disneyland?

Absolutely — it's a national US plan, so the same eSIM keeps working as you drive out to Malibu, Anaheim for Disneyland, or further afield. You'll have data the whole way, not just within LA city limits.

How much data should I get for a week exploring Los Angeles?

With near-constant navigation across LA's sprawl, plus ride-hailing and photos, a week of typical use suits a 5–10GB plan. Heavy map use and hotspotting mean it's worth sizing up rather than running short mid-trip.

Good to know in Los Angeles

Los Angeles is enormous and public transport is limited, so you'll depend on ride-hailing and live traffic data constantly — keep a power bank handy, because running Google Maps and Uber all day drains a phone battery fast.

Two simple ways to buy

Los Angeles eSIM plans: unlimited, or by the GB.

Every Los Angeles eSIM from My Holiday SIM is one of two straightforward types. Pick whichever fits how you travel in Los Angeles — you can always top up or switch on your next trip.

Traveller streaming and browsing freely on an unlimited-data travel eSIM

Unlimited plans

High-speed data, nothing to count

Priced per day — the longer you stay, the better the daily rate. Ideal for streaming, hotspot and longer trips where you'd rather not watch a data meter. A fair-use policy keeps speeds fast for everyone; see each plan for the detail.

Best for streaming, video calls & hotspot
Great for longer or open-ended trips
One price per day — no GB anxiety

By-the-GB plans

3GB10GB20GB

A set bundle, brilliant value

A fixed data allowance (say 3 GB or 10 GB) valid for your travel days. The best-value pick for lighter trips built around maps, messaging and a bit of browsing. Running low? Top up in a couple of taps — nothing to reinstall.

Los Angeles eSIM: your local data guide.

Los Angeles is built for driving, so a Los Angeles eSIM is essential for live navigation as you crawl the 405 or hunt for parking near Griffith Observatory. You'll rely on data to summon Ubers between far-flung neighbourhoods, find tacos in Boyle Heights, and check the surf before hitting Santa Monica.

One eSIM for Los Angeles and all of USA. It's the national USA eSIM — from $3.12/day with unlimited data, working the same in Los Angeles as it does the moment you leave it.

Landing at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX)?

Install the QR at home, then switch the eSIM on as you taxi in — you're online before you reach the arrivals hall.

On the ground

Where you'll lean on data in Los Angeles.

Hollywood & the Walk of Fame

Pull up maps to find specific star names and navigate to viewpoints like Griffith Observatory for that Hollywood Sign shot.

Santa Monica & Venice Beach

Check surf reports, rent a bike along the boardwalk and share pier photos straight to your feed with steady coastal data.

Downtown LA (DTLA)

Ride-hailing and restaurant apps keep you moving between the Arts District's galleries and rooftop bars after dark.

Beverly Hills & Rodeo Drive

Use translation and maps as you window-shop, then book a dinner reservation without hunting for café Wi-Fi.

The practical bit

Getting around Los Angeles on your eSIM.

Apps you'll want online in Los Angeles

Uber— Essential in car-dependent LA; request rides from the LAX-it lot and between far-flung neighbourhoods.
Lyft— The other big ride-hailing option; also runs Metro Bike Share around Downtown and the beaches.
Waze— Hugely popular in LA for live traffic and rerouting around the 405 and 101 gridlock.
Transit— Real-time arrivals for LA Metro's rail and bus lines, with TAP fares on your phone.

How long to stay in Los Angeles

A typical Los Angeles stay runs four to seven days, spreading across Hollywood, the beaches, Downtown and often a day trip to Disneyland, Malibu or the Getty.

How much data for Los Angeles

LA's sprawl means near-constant navigation and ride-hailing, so a week here suits 5-10GB or Unlimited; heavy map use and hotspotting drain data fast, so size up rather than run short mid-trip.

Coverage in Los Angeles

5G is strong across the city, at LAX and along the freeways and beaches; expect signal to thin in the canyons and hills around Griffith Park, Malibu and the Angeles National Forest.

No roaming bills, ever

Turn data roaming OFF on your home SIM and ON for the eSIM. You pay once, up front — no overage, no metered surprises, no bill waiting when you land home.

Because it's data-only, the eSIM can't receive bank verification (OTP) text codes — those still go to your home number. Keep it reachable on Wi-Fi calling, or use app-based codes.
