How to choose the right data plan
3 mindata planchoosehow much data
Choosing the right plan depends on your destination, trip length, and how you use your phone. Here's a practical guide.
How much data do you need?
| Usage type | Recommended size | Typical activities |
|---|---|---|
| Light | 1-3 GB | Maps, messaging, email, light browsing |
| Moderate | 3-10 GB | Social media, video calls, music streaming |
| Heavy | 10 GB+ | Video streaming, hotspot sharing, remote work |
When in doubt, go slightly larger than you think you need. Running out of data mid-trip is more inconvenient than having a little left over.
