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.)

What a data-only travel eSIM can and can't hide (a note from Silent eSIM): • No phone number: nothing for SMS spam or number lookups to tie back to you. • Also no SMS: switch 2FA to an authenticator app before you fly. • The local network still sees your data volume and the connections you make. Use a VPN. • No ID at checkout only matters if the payment is private too. We take on-chain BTC, USDT or XMR via our own BTCPay Server (no Lightning), or card.
