Data usage estimator

Compare GigSky plans and choose the right option based on how much data you expect to use.

How much data you need depends on what you do on your phone while travelling.

As a general guide:

  • Lower data use: Messaging, email, maps, and web browsing

  • Higher data use: Social media, video calls, music streaming, video streaming, and hotspot sharing

Choose the plan that best matches how you expect to use your data.

Fixed-data plans

Standard or fixed-data plans give you a set amount of data for a specific number of days.

They're a good choice if you mainly use your phone for:

  • Maps and navigation

  • Messaging

  • Email

  • Web browsing

A fixed-data plan is also a good option if you want to keep track of your usage and know exactly how much data you have available.

Unlimited-data plans

An unlimited plan is a good choice if you expect to use more data for activities such as:

  • Video streaming

  • Video calls

  • Social media

  • Hotspot sharing

You can continue using data until your plan expires. However, after using 3.5 GB of data within a 24-hour period, your data speed will be reduced.

You can still use data for everyday activities such as messaging, maps, email, and browsing.

When does high-speed data return?

Your high-speed data resets 24 hours after your plan is activated.

For example, if your plan starts at 7 AM and your speed is reduced after reaching the 3.5 GB limit, high-speed data will be available again at 7 AM the next day.

This 24-hour cycle continues throughout your plan's validity.

GigSky ONE subscription

GigSky ONE is a monthly subscription designed for frequent travellers.

You can choose the monthly high-speed data allowance that best fits your needs:

  • 25 GB

  • 50 GB

  • 75 GB

Once you use your monthly high-speed data allowance, you can continue using data at speeds of up to 1 Mbps. This is suitable for everyday activities such as maps, messaging, and browsing.

Your GigSky ONE subscription renews automatically each month.

Which plan is right for you?

Think about how you expect to use your phone while travelling:

  • Light data use: Choose a fixed-data plan.

  • Heavy data use: Consider an unlimited plan.

  • Frequent travel: GigSky ONE may be a better fit.

Choose the plan that best matches your trip, travel habits, and expected data usage.
