En bref
| Level of use | Roughly per day | Total for 3 days |
|---|---|---|
Most plans start counting at first connection to a network at the destination, not at payment — but some count from the purchase date. Check the activation-policy line on the plan page before buying weeks ahead.
Add at least one day. Delays, layovers and the trip home routinely spill past midnight, and a plan that expires while you are still at the airport leaves you offline exactly when you need it.
At 3 days the deciding factor is consistency. Even daily use suits a daily plan, which caps the cost predictably. Spiky use — heavy some days, nothing on others — suits a fixed-data pool.
