Which Plan Size Do You Need?
Choosing a plan depends on how you use data on the road:
| Usage pattern | Recommended plan |
|---|---|
| Light (maps, messaging) | 1 GB / 7 days |
| Moderate (social media, browsing) | 3 GB / 30 days |
| Heavy (streaming, hotspot) | 5–10 GB / 30 days |
For a 10-day holiday with regular Google Maps, WhatsApp, and Instagram use, a 3 GB / 30-day plan is usually enough. For a month-long stay with video calls and streaming, go for 10 GB.
Why SimForMe Over Standard Roaming
Standard carrier roaming in the US or Japan can cost €15–25 per day. A SimForMe 5 GB plan for 30 days in the US costs €12.04 — less than the cost of a single day of roaming at most European carriers.
The difference is the network model. SimForMe connects you through local partner networks, so you pay local data rates rather than international roaming premiums.
