Questions travelers ask before buying

For a typical week — maps, messaging, social media and occasional browsing — most travelers need between 3 GB and 7 GB. If you stream video daily, budget 10 GB or more.
Yes. eSimWay offers plans covering 190+ countries. You activate instantly via QR code — no physical SIM swap needed, no roaming fees from your home carrier.
Active navigation uses roughly 5–10 MB per hour. A full day of on-and-off maps usage typically costs 20–40 MB. Pre-downloading offline maps on Wi-Fi saves even more data.
For standard travelers — maps, messaging, social media and light streaming — 10 GB is comfortable for two weeks. Heavy streamers or remote workers should consider 15–20 GB.
Most eSimWay plans support hotspot (tethering). Keep in mind that hotspot usage drains data faster — factor in an extra 1–3 GB per day if you plan to share your connection with a laptop or tablet.
