ትርጉም

Mobile data when traveling abroad is the data you use on a cellular connection (e.g. eSIM or local SIM) instead of Wi‑Fi. How much you need is measured in gigabytes (GB) and depends on your apps and usage habits.

እንዴት ይሰራል

1. List what you will do: email, messaging, maps, browsing, social media, video calls, streaming, work uploads/downloads.
2. Rough guide per day: light use (messaging, maps, some browsing) about 0.5–1 GB; moderate (plus email, social, some video) 1–3 GB; heavy (video, streaming, large uploads) 5 GB or more.
3. Multiply by the number of days and add a buffer (e.g. 20–30%).
4. Check whether you will use Wi‑Fi often (hotel, café); that reduces mobile data need.
5. Choose a plan that meets or slightly exceeds your estimate.
6. Monitor usage in your device settings to learn your real consumption for next time.
