Verizon launches free 30-day eSIM trials with 100GB data, unlimited talk and text

Verizon is following T-Mobile’s lead and making it seamless and free to test out its network. With the new eSIM trials, you can start 30 days of service with Verizon to test out its 5G/4G coverage and performance.

T-Mobile was the first major carrier to launch eSIM trials back in 2021 and Visible which runs on Verizon’s network did the same at the start of 2022.

Earlier this month, AT&T’s Cricket Wireless joined in on the fun, and today Verizon officially launched free 30-day eSIM trials (via The Verge).

As a refresher, other than the instant and easy setup, one of the biggest benefits of eSIM trials is you can see the signal for both your current carrier and the one you’re testing simultaneously.

And you can decide to keep using your existing carrier and number for phone calls while using the trial for cellular data.
