Data usage and coverage

Each plan lists the exact countries it covers on its own page. A single-country plan covers one destination, while a regional plan covers many countries on one plan.

For one destination, a single-country plan is usually the better value. For a trip across several countries, a regional plan keeps you connected as you cross borders without buying a separate plan for each.

As a rough guide, light use like maps and messaging runs to around 500MB to 1GB a week, regular browsing and social media around 1GB a day, and streaming or hotspot use more. If you're unsure, a slightly larger plan costs little and saves you running out. Our guide to how much data you need breaks it down by activity.

Our plans are data-only, so they don't include a phone number, calls or texts. Keep your home SIM for calls and texts, or use internet apps like WhatsApp or FaceTime over your eSIM data.

Your phone tracks it. On iPhone, open Settings then Mobile Data and find the travel plan; on Android, open Settings then Network and internet then Data usage. Resetting the counter when your plan starts gives you an accurate figure.

No. Each plan runs for a set number of days from first connection, and any unused data doesn't carry over once the plan expires.
