How much data do you need?
Short city trip
Maps, Uber or Lyft, messages, and tickets can suit a smaller plan when you have hotel Wi-Fi.
Typical holiday
New York, Florida, or California with photos, maps, and social media needs more than messaging alone.
Road trip
Long distances and navigation make more data, longer validity, and offline maps useful.
Video or work
Streaming, calls, and hotspot use can exhaust a fixed plan quickly. Choose based on actual usage, not days alone.
