I'm planning a 10-day trip to the USA and I'm unsure about how much data I'll need for my eSIM. I plan on using my phone for navigation, social media, and occasional streaming. Can anyone share their experiences or offer advice on the right data plan size?

For a 10-day trip, I'd recommend at least 5GB of data if you plan to use navigation and social media regularly. If you intend to stream videos or music often, consider increasing that to around 10GB.

I traveled with a 7GB plan for 10 days in the USA, and it was more than enough for me. I mainly used it for Google Maps, WhatsApp, and some social media.

I went with a 10GB plan since I wanted to do some streaming in the evenings. It was great to have the extra data just in case!

I typically use around 1GB a day for navigation and social media. For a 10-day trip, I’d suggest at least 10GB to be safe.

If you’re unsure, you can always start with a lower plan and top up if needed. Our app makes it easy to manage your data usage.

I ended up using about 8GB for my 10-day visit. I didn’t stream much, but I did a lot of browsing!

For active users like gamers or streamers, I’d say go for 15GB. Better to have too much than too little!

I think 6GB was just right for me. I stayed connected without worrying, but I didn't do a lot of streaming.
