Features and Services

Network coverage in the US
Depending on where you are traveling in the US, it is important to select the right network in advance. Generally speaking, AT&T provides the largest network in the US and therefore delivers the best network coverage.
On the AT&T network, you are in the best hands in major cities like New York, Hawaii, Las Vegas, Miami, Los Angeles and on road trips in a camper or car across the States. Only in Page and around the Grand Canyon is the reception very difficult.
AT&T
AT&T is one of the absolute top providers in the US. Best network coverage is guaranteed here. Besides a super network, a broad spectrum of stores belongs to the provider, where you can request technical support at any time. The employees help with the setup on your device or can exchange a defective SIM card (sometimes) free of charge. In contrast to many other providers, AT&T focuses on a first-class user experience. This primarily includes the technology used for data transmission and, of course, HD Voice technology.

T-Mobile
T-Mobile is one of the younger providers in the US and has meanwhile worked its way up to the third-largest cellular provider. The company, originally from Germany, is known in the States for an extremely fast network and also delivers very good network coverage - even in somewhat remote areas like Arizona.
Crossing the border to Canada or Mexico is no problem with all the plans we offer, because roaming is already included. Similar to AT&T, tethering is available to you throughout the entire trip. Thus, you can use your smartphone as a hotspot and share the internet with up to 10 devices.

Difference between AT&T, Lycamobile and T-Mobile
Lycamobile is a third-party provider in the US, similar to Congstar or ALDI Talk in Germany. This primarily has price advantages, because unlike AT&T, Lycamobile doesn't have its own stores in the US. Thus, Lycamobile offers affordable plan variants which, in contrast to AT&T, already include services for calling Europe.
On the other hand, AT&T offers some services that Lycamobile unfortunately cannot offer. Foremost among these is the ability to use tethering (hotspot). In the telephony sector, AT&T relies on HD Voice technology, which ensures clear voice quality.
Just like in your home country, the choice of plans is very large. Generally speaking, anyone who wants to use tethering will definitely end up with AT&T, and those who need many calling minutes to their home phone network tend more towards T-Mobile. Otherwise, the differences only exist when choosing the data volume.
| Provider | Unlimited USA | Unlimited German landline | Free minutes German mobile network | Mobile Internet | Tethering | Order |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lycamobile | Yes | Yes | Yes | up to 60 GB data | No | Lycamobile |
| AT&T | Yes | 250 / 1000 min. | No | up to 60 GB data | Yes | AT&T |
| T-Mobile | Yes | Unlimited (optional) | Unlimited (optional) | 10 to 50 GB data | Yes | T-Mobile |

Many devices support these ranges automatically. A short list of common devices can be found in our database. Due to the nearly endless number of smartphones, this list is not complete.
