How much data do you need on holiday?
Most holidays need less data than people expect. These rough guides help you pick a plan that will not run out.
Maps and messages
Navigation and messaging use little: roughly 1 GB covers a few days of maps, WhatsApp and email.
Social media and photos
Scrolling and posting photos add up: a week of moderate use is about 5 GB.
Video and streaming
Video uses the most: an hour of streaming can take 1 GB or more. Download films and playlists on Wi-Fi before you go.
Sharing with others
Using your phone as a hotspot for a laptop or a travel partner doubles what you need; pick a larger plan.
If you run out
You can buy another plan for the same destination and install it in minutes.
