The theft is over!
Tickets and accommodation booked!
One question remains before departure: How much data do I need for my trip?
Choosing a plan that's too small risks leaving you without GPS at the worst possible moment, while buying an unlimited plan that's too expensive is often a waste.
We will help you make your choice, thanks to our calculator.
1. What type of user are you?
To estimate your consumption, the first step is to identify your usage profile. In our calculator, we have categorized 3 main types of users:
- Moderate user (Light user): You mainly use your smartphone essentially : consult a map Google Maps from time to time, send WhatsApp messages/SMS and check your emails. You prefer to use the hotel's Wi-Fi in the evening. A "small" data package 1 to 3 GB per week is generally more than enough.
- Typical user: This is the profile of most travelers. You use the GPS in everyday use (30 min/day), browse the web, Share your photos on the social networks (30 min/day) and spend some video calls quick meals with your loved ones. For a 7-day stay, you will spend on average between 4GB and 5GB.
- Heavy/Hard User: You work remotely, do some connection sharing (tethering) with your computer, watch series in streaming (Netflix/YouTube) and spend a lot of time in HD video call. Your needs easily exceed the 10 GB per week.
2. How does our Data Calculator work?
To avoid getting out your calculator, our interactive tool does the work for you.
Simply enter the duration of your stay and your usage habits:
- Navigation & GPS (Navigation & Browsing)
- Social Networks & Messaging
- Video & Calls (The most data-intensive element! Video streaming and video conferencing devour your data!)
- Music (Music Streaming)
💡 A concrete example for a 7-day trip for a standard user:
Typical User – 7 days
- GPS & Web: ~30 min/day ➔ 0.6 GB
- Social networks: ~30 min/day + 50 messages ➔ 0.8 GB
- Video calls & Streaming: ~35 min/day ➔ 2.5 GB (the biggest share!)
- Music : ~30 min/day ➔ 0.4 GB
👉 Estimated result: You will need approximately 4.3 GB for your entire week.
