I'm heading to South Africa soon and not sure how much data to buy. I'll mainly use maps, messaging, and post a few photos. What size plan should I get?

Great question! For South Africa, light use (maps + chat) runs about 300–500MB/day, moderate use (social, photos) 1GB/day, and heavy use (video, hotspot) 2GB+/day. A daily plan is the safest bet, and you can top up anytime in the app.
