How much data for a trip to Europe? What maps, social, streaming and a hotspot really use, how much travellers burn per day, and which eSIM size to buy for a week or a month in Europe.
Phone only, with hotel Wi-Fi at night: 3 to 5 GB covers maps, messaging, photos and some social. Add streaming on data or a laptop on the hotspot and you want 10 GB or an unlimited plan. EU regulators measure roaming use at about 2 GB a month per traveller.
Only if you stream video on data or work from a hotspot. Every unlimited plan has a daily full-speed allowance or a fair use policy: 5 GB on Airalo and Saily, 2 GB on Nomad, no stated cap on Holafly for your own phone, and the Ringo Light rule is in its Terms. For a phone-only week a 5 or 10 GB bucket is cheaper and just as good.
Unlimited data for 3 days €12.99 and 7 days €26.99, under the fair use policy in the Terms. The 10 GB monthly plan is €49.99 a month on 2 months, €39.99 on 6 months and €34.99 on the annual plan; 20 GB is €64.99, €54.99 and €49.99, full speed with no daily cap, on one eSIM that stays installed.
