Choosing the right eSIM data plan for your holiday means staying connected without surprises - no hunting for local SIMs or paying ridiculous roaming fees. With SIMOVO, you get instant delivery, clear pricing, and UK-based support, so you’re always in control.
But how much data do you actually need?
How much do you need?
When choosing a travel eSIM, it helps to know how far your data will go. Whether it’s a quick city break or a long-haul trip, understanding your mobile data needs can save you money - and stress.
So, what does 1GB of data really get you abroad? On average, it covers around 20 hours of web browsing, several days of navigation, or a few hours on social media. For essentials like email, flight check-ins, messaging, and booking taxis, 1GB goes a long way. But if you’re streaming music, uploading videos, or making video calls, you’ll burn through it much faster.
