Travel Tips
How much data do I need for my trip?
Estimate your data needs based on how you travel—then pick a plan with confidence.
Quick data guide
These are rough estimates. Your actual usage depends on video quality, background app activity, and Wi‑Fi availability.
Light use (maps, messaging, email)
~1–2 GB per week. Great if you rely on Wi‑Fi for streaming and downloads.
Moderate use (social, browsing, some video)
~3–7 GB per week. Good for daily navigation + social + occasional short videos.
Heavy use (video calls, frequent video, hotspot)
~10–20+ GB per week. Consider a larger plan if you work remotely or share data.
Top ways to save data
Download offline maps, disable background refresh for heavy apps, and set streaming apps to lower quality on cellular.
When should I buy more data?
If you’re below 20% remaining with several days left, top up early to avoid running out at the wrong time.
