Buying data for a family trip
Compare one plan each against one adult sharing to everyone.
Last updated September 4, 2026
Families split up: one parent takes a tired child back to the hotel while the other keeps walking. That is the hidden cost of sharing from one phone.
4 × 5 GB
5GB each for the trip. Slightly more expensive, but everyone can split up and no single phone burns its battery as a router.
Choose plansPoints for children and older travellers
- A child's phone should have its own data so they can be reached if separated
- Older travellers often use very little; the smallest plan is usually enough
- Install and test every phone at home, not at the airport
Frequently asked questions
Is one shared plan better value for a family?+
Cheaper on paper, but everyone has to stay near the host phone. If your family splits up often, separate plans buy peace of mind.
The child's phone is old and has no eSIM+
Connect it through an adult's hotspot, or use a local physical SIM. Check the model with the device checker.
Can several plans go on one order?+
Yes — put several items in one cart and pay once; each device still gets its own profile.
