Knowing how much data you need to travel avoids overpaying or running out of internet mid-trip. With the calculator above you estimate it in seconds based on your days and how you use your phone.

How much your apps use when traveling

These are rough figures for typical usage per hour or per day:

  • WhatsApp and messaging: ~1 MB/day of text; more with voice notes and photos.
  • Email and web browsing: ~10 MB/hour.
  • Google Maps: ~5 MB/hour of navigation.
  • Instagram and TikTok: ~150-180 MB/hour.
  • YouTube (HD): ~250 MB/hour.
  • Netflix (HD): ~1 GB/hour.

How many GB for a week of travel?

For normal use (maps, messaging, social and some video) count on about 5 GB per week. If you lean on streaming or share data via hotspot, go up to 10 GB or more. For 3-4 day getaways, 1-3 GB is plenty.

Tip: choose with some margin

With a PuraSIM eSIM you won't be left stranded: if you get close to the limit, you can top up data in a minute from your phone. Even so, starting with a roomier plan saves you interruptions.
