Which data profile fits your trip?
Three short questions about how you actually use your phone abroad. No exact numbers to estimate — the result points you to Light, Medium or Heavy so you can pick the right plan size on any destination page.
Answer three questions
This is an estimate based on typical patterns. Actual usage depends on network quality, app settings, and whether videos auto-play. You can always top up mid-trip if needed.
What each profile covers
PROFILE → TYPICAL USAGE
Light — 0.5 GB/day
→
Maps, messaging, occasional browsing. Wi-Fi covers the rest.
Medium — 1 GB/day
→
Social media, photo uploads, short videos, regular browsing.
Heavy — 2 GB/day
→
Video calls, streaming, tethering a laptop, remote work.
Field tip
If you hesitate between two profiles, take the lower one. Most providers let you top up mid-trip from the app in minutes — paying upfront for data you may not use is the more common mistake.
