Frequently asked

When is a single-country eSIM better?
When you’re staying in one country for two-plus weeks and burning more than a few GB. Local eSIMs almost always win on per-GB cost when you commit; regional plans are for the moving lifestyle where you cross borders weekly.
When does a regional plan pay off?
When you hop between two or more countries in the region within a month and don’t want the friction of swapping plans every border. The slightly higher per-GB cost buys you continuity, which matters more than cents per gig when you’re working.
Should I bother with a global plan?
Only for truly unpredictable travel across continents in a short window. Most "global" lifestyles are actually one-region-at-a-time; a series of regional plans beats a global one on cost almost every time.
What size plan should I buy?
For light work and maps, 3–5 GB per week is plenty. Add headroom if you tether to a laptop or stream. Pick a plan you can top up rather than the smallest tier and running out mid-call. The price difference is small; the inconvenience of running dry is huge.
