512 kbps vs 1 Mbps vs 5 Mbps: what each speed lets you do on an eSIM

What happens after my daily full-speed data is used?

The connection keeps working, at the reduced speed printed on that plan, for the rest of that day. Nothing stops and nothing is charged.

At the start of the next day of the plan, full speed comes back on its own. You do nothing.

The reduced speed is enough for messaging, maps and browsing. Video at that point depends on the plan: the faster continued speeds handle it, the slower ones will struggle.

Can I stream video on an unlimited plan?

Inside the daily full-speed amount, yes, at whatever the local network can deliver.

After that amount is used, it depends on the plan’s continued speed. The faster continued speeds carry video; the slower ones are for messaging, maps and browsing rather than streaming.

If video matters to your trip, pick a plan with a larger daily amount and a faster continued speed. Both numbers are on every plan.

What is the difference between Basic and Everyday?

Both are unlimited data. They differ in how much runs at full speed each day, and in the speed the connection continues at once that daily amount is used.

Basic suits everyday browsing, messaging, maps and booking rides at the lowest price. Everyday is our suggested plan: usually a faster continued speed, sometimes more full-speed data a day, which leaves more room for social feeds and video.

Every plan prints both of its own numbers before you pay. Extra speed cards continue faster still, and Pro Store carries larger daily amounts, for people who want more.

Can I share the connection over a personal hotspot?

Yes. Personal hotspot works on every plan we sell, so your laptop, tablet or a second phone can go online through this eSIM.

Whatever they use counts toward the same data as your phone. On an unlimited plan, the full-speed data for the day comes first; after it, the plan keeps going at the speed it states.

Several devices connected at once divide the speed between them.
