How to manage your data usage

Managing your data well makes your eSIM plan last for the whole trip. A few simple settings — Wi-Fi calling, offline maps, balance tracking — are enough to avoid surprises. Here are 5 practical tips.

1. 1

   Check your data balance

   Track your remaining data in your phone settings or your TravelNet account so you never run out unexpectedly.

2. 2

   Enable Wi-Fi calling

   Turn on Wi-Fi calling so calls and messages use Wi-Fi instead of your mobile data plan.

3. 3

   Use offline maps

   Download maps over Wi-Fi before you go — navigation is one of the biggest data consumers.

4. 4

   Disable background refresh

   Turn off background app refresh and auto-updates so apps don’t use data when you’re not looking.

5. 5

   Monitor per-app usage

   Review which apps use the most data and restrict the heaviest ones to Wi-Fi only.
