What does 5GB get you?
As a rule of thumb, an hour of browsing uses about 100MB, an hour of GPS navigation 5 to 10MB, and an hour of standard-definition video 0.7 to 1GB. So 5GB covers everyday use for several days, less if you stream video.
Set up your eSIM in 4 steps
- Make sure your phone is eSIM-compatible and unlocked.
- Buy the plan, then scan the QR code you receive (or install through the provider's app), on Wi-Fi.
- When you arrive, turn on the eSIM line for data, and turn on roaming for that line only.
- Keep your main SIM for calls and texts, with data roaming turned off.
Your phone must be eSIM-compatible and unlocked.
