How does a Chicago eSIM work?

An eSIM is an embedded SIM card, and you probably already have an eSIM-compatible device. When you install an eSIM for a country or region, it lets your device connect to local networks in that area. This means your device will have data without needing Wi-Fi or paying roaming charges.

Add Navy Pier to your list of tourist attractions

If you’re planning to visit Chicago soon, Navy Pier is an absolute must-visit tourist attraction that promises fun for the entire family.

Overlooking Lake Michigan, the 3,300-foot-long pier is packed with restaurants, retail shops, entertainment and other attractions.

At the heart of the pier standing approximately 200-feet tall is the Centennial Wheel, a ferris wheel well known for offering the best views of the city’s skyline and waterfront.

Chicago deep dish pizza

Give deep-dish pizza a try!

If you’re a foodie or pizza lover, you have to give Chicago-style deep-dish pizza a try.

For those who may be unfamiliar with deep-dish pizza, it’s essentially a stuffed pizza baked in a pan, but with a twist— the cheese goes on the bottom, followed by the toppings and tomato sauce on top! Different, right?

Looking for a starting point? Some local favourites known to serve some of the best deep-dish pizza in Chicago are Giordano’s, Lou Malnati’s Pizzeria, and Pequod’s Pizza.

FAQs about eSIM in Chicago

Check your device

Most newer phones, tablets, and computers are already eSIM-compatible, so use our eSIM device checker to make sure you have a device that can accept an eSIM data plan.

Free Wi-Fi is great when it’s available and working well, but some destinations make it just about impossible to get a good connection. Having data as a backup ensures you remain connected regardless of Wi-Fi availability.

We’re proud to provide aloSIM customers with fast eSIM data connections that allow them to talk, text, surf, and stream comfortably. You’ll likely experience a 4G (sometimes 5G) or LTE equivalent network in most locations, depending on what’s available in the area.

Installation guides

We have detailed eSIM installation instructions for all compatible devices, so whether you’re looking to add eSIM data to an iPhone or iPad, Google Pixel, Samsung Galaxy, or something else, we’ll be able to walk you through the eSIM set-up process easily.
