Short answer

Check your operator's U.S. terms before departure. Use an eSIM as the data line when suitable and keep your Norwegian SIM for services you need without letting it use data accidentally.

Checklist

  • Check roaming prices and settings
  • Choose one clear data line
  • Use the BankID app and follow current BankID help

Common question

Can I use a Norwegian SIM and travel eSIM together in the USA?

Many phones can keep both available, but data and roaming choices must be checked in settings.
