How much mobile data (GB) do I need for a trip to New York?

Updated May 30, 2026

For most New York City visitors, a Cellesim eSIM plan with 5GB to 10GB of data is sufficient for a 5-7 day trip. This allows for extensive use of maps (Google Maps, Apple Maps), social media, ride-sharing apps (Uber, Lyft), and light browsing. Public Wi-Fi is available but often unreliable, making a generous data plan crucial.

Planning the trip? See our New York eSIM plans, install in one tap before you fly, and land online. Free VPN included.
