Japan and Korea in one trip? Rough data maths from Silent eSIM's rates today (3 Nov): Japan from $2.76/GB, South Korea and Hong Kong from $1.64, Taiwan from $2.20. At around 0.5 GB a day for maps, translation and messaging, ten days in Japan is about 5 GB (~$14) and four days in Seoul about 2 GB (~$3.30). So the Japan leg is most of the bill, not Korea. Korea tip: Google Maps can't do proper walking or driving directions there, so get Naver Map or KakaoMap before you land, which pulls a bit more data in the first days. Whatever's left over doesn't expire. Prices per country:

Backpacking Southeast Asia this winter? Rough data maths from Silent eSIM's rates today (3 Nov): Singapore $1.46/GB, Malaysia $1.64, Thailand $1.82, Vietnam and Indonesia $2.20. A month of maps, Grab, WhatsApp and a few photo uploads tends to land around 10-15 GB, so roughly $20-30 for the whole trip. The one to watch is a Maldives stopover at $22.12/GB. Two GB over a long weekend there costs more than the month on the mainland. Download offline maps before you fly and leave the big uploads for the resort Wi-Fi. Per-country rates:

Day trip from Nice to Monaco? Your phone ignores the border sign and grabs whichever tower is strongest. On Silent eSIM's rates today (2 Nov), France is $1.08/GB and Monaco is $6.44/GB, about 6x more. Andorra is the same trap: $7.38/GB, with Spain and France next door at $1.08. A 400 MB sightseeing day works out around $0.43 on a French network and $2.58 on a Monaco one. Not a fortune, but easy to dodge: check the operator name in your network settings, or pick the French network manually while you're near the line. Per-country rates:

Weekend in Paris or Lisbon? Maps, WhatsApp, a few photo uploads and the odd "which platform is my train on" panic come to roughly 0.5 GB a day. Three days is about 1.5 GB, so at today's $1.08/GB in France or Portugal that's around $1.62. Whatever you don't use stays on your balance for the next trip, it never expires. Run your own numbers:

Fun one: Lisbon, then Istanbul, then Bangkok, all on one eSIM balance. 2 GB in Portugal at $1.08/GB = $2.16 2 GB in Turkey at $1.28/GB = $2.56 3 GB in Thailand at $1.82/GB = $5.46 That's $10.18 for 7 GB across three countries. No new SIM at each border, just the same balance at each country's rate, and whatever's left doesn't expire. How much would your trip use? Plug in your days and countries:

Ran the numbers on a week in Spain with normal use (maps, chat, a bit of social, one show in the evening). That comes to about 789 MB a day, so roughly 6.35 GB for 7 days once you add a 15% buffer. At Spain's published rate of $1.08 per GB, that's about $6.86. Load $10 and you come home with roughly $3.14 still on the eSIM. It doesn't expire, so it's sitting there for the next trip. In Japan (from $2.76/GB) that's a bit over 1 GB, which covers landing, the train map and the first hotel check-in. That's the whole point of paying by the megabyte: you don't have to guess "3 GB or 10 GB?" before you even pack, and you don't lose what you didn't use. Worked example and how the billing works:

Same two weeks in Japan, three very different phone bills: - maps and messages only (about 0.7 GB): $1.95 - a typical day of browsing, social and some video (about 12.7 GB): $35.06 - heavy use, streaming plus hotspot (about 53 GB): $146.86 That's a 75x spread on one trip, and it comes almost entirely from habits, not the country. Downloading your shows and offline maps on hotel Wi-Fi is the cheapest "plan" there is. Across 218 countries, 44 come in under $1 for a light fortnight. Run your own trip (free, no sign-up):

Two weeks away, same phone habits, wildly different data bill. A typical fortnight of travel use (maps, messaging, photos, some video and calls) comes to about 12.7 GB. I priced that against the per-GB rates for 218 countries: 41 countries, almost all of Europe plus the French overseas regions: $13.72 Ukraine, the cheapest: $9.65 The median country: $58.43 69 countries: $100 or more Equatorial Guinea, the dearest: $5,853.50 (yes, really, it's $460/GB) So "a fortnight of data" means anything from a takeaway to a used car depending on where you land. If you're heading somewhere in the expensive tail, Wi-Fi first is the whole plan: offline maps, autoplay off, photo backup paused until the hotel.

Same week away, very different data bill. I priced a "normal" travel week (maps, ~50 messages a day, some photos and social, 30 min of video, one 15-min video call) at about 6.4 GB, then checked pay-as-you-go prices per country: Spain, Italy, Greece, Portugal: about $7 Turkey: about $8 Thailand: about $11.50 Japan: about $17.50 Mexico: about $23 Canada: about $29 UAE: about $41 Same habits, roughly 6x the cost between cheapest and dearest. Easiest saving if you're headed somewhere pricey: download offline maps and turn off video autoplay before you land. Video is most of that 6.4 GB.

Travel data prices by region, from our own /rates page today (cheapest listed price per GB, USD): • Every European sub-region: median $1.08/GB. • "Oceania" median looks awful at $27.64, but Australia and New Zealand are $1.64. It's the Pacific islands that cost $22-28. • "North America" median $7.74 is mostly Caribbean islands. The US is $1.74, Mexico $3.60, Canada $4.60. • Southern Asia swings hard: Sri Lanka $1.58, Nepal $17.68, Maldives $22.12. Lesson: check the country, not the continent, before you buy a regional bundle. (This is Silent eSIM, we sell data-only eSIMs, so these are our prices, not a market survey.)
