Neighbours ask
How much mobile data do I need for a two-week trip?
A light user (maps, occasional social media, no video) typically needs 3 to 5 GB for 14 days. An average user who streams a few videos and uses social media daily needs around 8 to 12 GB. Heavy users who stream video regularly easily exceed 20 GB.
Is an eSIM cheaper than a local SIM?
Not usually for longer stays. Local SIM cards in most Southeast Asian and South American countries are cheaper per GB than eSIM plans, especially when bought outside the airport. eSIMs win on convenience: no queue, no risk of losing the card, instant activation.
Can I add multiple countries in the calculator?
Yes. Use the button to add extra stops, each with its own number of days. The total GB recommendation adds up across all countries, and the tool shows provider options per country separately.
Which eSIM providers does the tool cover?
The tool compares Airalo, Saily, Yesim and GigSky. These are the four providers with the broadest country coverage and verified Travelpayouts affiliate integration. Plans are filtered for your required GB and destination.
Does the tool work for countries outside Asia?
Yes. The calculator covers 146 countries in Asia, North and South America, Oceania, Africa and Europe. Local SIM data and eSIM plan availability differ by region; the tool only shows options valid for your chosen destination.
