How much data should I buy?

Choosing the right amount of data depends on your usage habits and travel plans. For casual browsing and social media updates, a smaller data plan may suffice. However, if you stream videos or use data-intensive apps, consider a larger plan to avoid running out. Our flexible data options cater to all needs, ensuring you stay connected without worries wherever you go.

Light Users: For those who primarily use messaging apps, occasional web browsing, and email checking, a data plan between 1GB to 10GB per month should suffice.

Average Users: If you frequently use social media, stream music, and occasionally watch videos, consider a data plan 10GB or more.

Heavy Users: For users who stream HD videos, play online games, and use data-intensive applications regularly, opt for a data plan of 20GB or more per month or our unlimited plan to ensure you have enough data without worrying about exceeding limits.

These recommendations can vary based on individual usage patterns, so it’s essential to assess your specific needs when choosing a data plan for your travel eSIM or SIM card.
