Want extra data to stream scores, highlights, or even a few quarters live without eating into your main plan? Some major U.S. carriers offer free network trial plans — usually requiring an unlocked phone with eSIM support — that you can activate quickly before kickoff:
Carrier Free Trials to Check:
T‑Mobile Trial: Try T‑Mobile’s network free for up to 30 days with your own unlocked, eSIM‑compatible phone — no cost, no commitment.
Verizon Free Trial: Get 30 days of Verizon service for free to test data, talk, and text — perfect for game day data needs.
AT&T Try AT&T: Offers a 30‑day trial — including ~100 GB of data and hotspot — via the myAT&T app (currently more broadly available for iOS, with Android support expanding).
US Mobile Trial: A 30‑day free trial with plenty of data (e.g., 30 GB) on industry networks via eSIM or SIM card, easy to activate.
Visible (Verizon network): Offers a up to 15‑day free eSIM trial with unlimited data, talk, text, and hotspot included.
Google Fi Trial: Some setups include a 7‑day free trial with ~10 GB data and unlimited calls/text on Google Fi’s network via eSIM.
Quick Tips Before You Try: 📌 Most free trials require:
A compatible unlocked phone with eSIM support
Activation via the carrier’s app (e.g., My Verizon, T‑Life, myAT&T, US Mobile, or Google Fi)
Being new to that trial or carrier
📌 These trials let you use data on real carrier networks temporarily — great for watching scores, highlights, or streaming small clips during the big game!
