I'm planning a 10-day trip to the USA and I’m unsure about how much data I should purchase. I plan to use my phone for navigation, social media, and some streaming. Any advice on the appropriate data amount would be appreciated!

For a 10-day trip, I recommend at least 5GB of data if you’re using your phone for navigation and social media. If you plan to stream videos or music frequently, consider upgrading to 10GB for extra peace of mind.

I recently spent two weeks in the USA and used around 8GB. I was posting on social media and using Google Maps a lot, so it went pretty quick!

I took a trip to the USA for a week and found 3GB to be enough for basic browsing and navigation. Just be careful not to stream too much or you'll run out!

It really depends on your usage. If you're planning to do a lot of video calls or streaming, aim for at least 10GB. For more moderate use, you could get by with 5GB.

When I traveled in the US for 10 days, I had 6GB and it was adequate for maps and some social media. Just keep an eye on your data consumption.

I recommend getting more than you think you’ll need. I bought 10GB for a week and it went quickly because of all the photos and videos I uploaded.

For a 10-day stint, I'd say 7-10GB would give you a comfortable buffer. I used around 9GB during my last trip, with heavy GPS and app usage.

I traveled for 10 days and used an average of 5GB. I mostly browsed and used navigation apps, but I recommend keeping an eye on your usage!
