Frequently asked questions

How accurate is the data calculator?

The estimates are based on industry-average data consumption rates. Actual usage varies by app quality settings, compression, and network conditions. We add a 20% safety buffer to help you avoid running out of data.

Why is my video call using so much data?

Video calls (Zoom, Google Meet, FaceTime) transmit both audio and video in real time, consuming 400–1,500 MB per hour depending on quality. Lowering the video resolution in app settings can significantly reduce usage.

Does downloading maps use a lot of data?

Navigating with cached/offline maps uses very little data (~5 MB/hr). Streaming maps live uses around 20 MB/hr. We recommend downloading your destination maps over Wi-Fi before your trip.

Should I get a bigger plan than the calculator suggests?

The recommendation already includes a 20% safety buffer. If you plan to hotspot other devices or watch lots of HD video, consider going one tier higher.
