Häufige Fragen
Does leftover data from a per-day quota roll over to the next day?+
No. A per-day quota resets back to its full amount every day, and whatever was left over the previous day is always gone once a new day begins.
Can a pooled total run out before the validity period ends?+
Yes, if usage is heavy early in the trip without leaving a margin for later days. Check whether that plan offers a top-up option for this situation.
Is the definition of a 'day' the same across every plan?+
No. Some plans count from midnight in the destination time zone; others count a rolling 24 hours from first use. Check this detail on the plan page before buying.
If the daily cap on a per-day quota is reached, does the internet cut off instantly?+
It depends on the plan. Some throttle speed rather than cutting the connection outright; others cut it until the next day begins. Check this condition on the plan page before buying.
Which type suits a trip with a mix of heavy and light days?+
A pooled total is usually more flexible here, since light days automatically bank data for the heavy ones, with no need to track a separate quota for each day.
Do two plans with the same total data figure give the same experience?+
Not always. If one splits the total into a per-day quota and the other pools it, the actual experience can differ considerably. Always look at the structure alongside the total figure before comparing.
