Not sure how much data to buy? Here’s a rough guide on how much data is used for popular online activities.
| Activity | 1 minute | 1 hour | 1 week (2 hours a day) | 1 month (2 hours a day) |
| Google Maps | 1MB | 60MB | 840MB | 3.6GB |
| Spotify | 1.2MB | 72MB | 1GB | 4.3GB |
| Google* | 1.5MB | 90MB | 1.26GB | 5.4GB |
| 1.5MB | 90MB | 1.26MB | 5.4GB | |
| WhatsApp calls | 3MB | 180MB | 2.5GB | 10.8GB |
| Netflix* | 11.6MB | 700MB | 9.8GB | 42GB |
| YouTube* | 18.75MB | 1.13GB | 15.76GB | 67GB |
| Teams calls* | 30MB | 1.8GB | 25.2GB | 198GB |
Please note: these figures are averages. The amount of actual data used can vary according to the individual.
*when streaming in standard definition. Streaming in HD/UHD will use significantly more data.
Using mobile data abroad
The average person spends three hours a day online, but this can easily increase when you’re somewhere new. You may find yourself spending hours navigating the local area, searching for places to eat or using translation tools that you wouldn’t use at home.
As you can see, just one minute of navigating with Google Maps takes up about 1MB of data. That may only sound like a small amount, but it soon adds up — if you roam with your regular carrier you could be charged as much as $15 for every 1MB. And just one video call could cost hundreds!
With an eSIM you don’t have to worry about roaming fees, just choose from a range of plans based on your personal internet use. Then if you need more, simply top up.
If you’re a heavy user of the internet who regularly streams movies and makes video calls, you might want to consider choosing an unlimited plan.
Never run out of data again
