Choosing your internet plan is also part of your international trip 🌍📶

What are GBs? 📊

GB (Gigabytes) represent the amount of data you have available to connect to the internet.

Every action you take on your phone consumes data, even if you don't always notice it; everything that involves loading, sending, or receiving information consumes internet.

For example:

Some of these actions consume little data, and others consume quite a bit more. That's why, when you choose a GB plan, you're choosing how much online activity you can do during your trip.

How do GB plans work?

GB plans are based on two factors that always go hand in hand:

• 📦 The amount of data (GB): This is the pool of internet you have available to use on your trip.
• 📅 The validity period (days): This is the period during which the plan is active.

The plan ends when one of these two conditions is met: you consume the GBs or the validity period ends, whichever comes first.

Why do some travelers choose GB plans?

This type of plan is ideal for travelers who:

• 📞 Make WhatsApp calls.
• 📉 Prefer to manage their consumption and optimize each GB.
• 💻 Watch videos or work remotely.
• 📡 Want to share data.

It's a practical option for short trips, organized itineraries, or people who already know their usage habits. Furthermore, the browsing speed never decreases, so it's important to be aware of what activities you do and for how long.

Now let's talk about unlimited plans 🚀

Unlimited plans are designed for those who want to forget about data counting and use their phone with total freedom during their trip.

With this type of plan, the focus isn't on how many GBs you consume, but on how many days you need to be connected.

At Conecty, unlimited internet is truly unlimited: the idea is that you never run out of connection while exploring your destination.

Although there may be temporary speed adjustments due to fair usage policies, the connection does not cut out.

Higher consumption activities, such as watching high-quality videos or making long video calls, might be slower at times, but at 12:00 a.m. (midnight), the speed automatically resets.

Why do many travelers prefer unlimited plans?

• 🧭 Use maps all the time.
• 📸 Upload content to social media.
• 🚶♂️ Move around a lot during the day and need constant connection.
• 😌 Don't want to worry about running out of data.

It's an option that offers peace of mind and convenience, especially for long or very active trips.

An example to better understand the difference

✈️ Imagine a 10-day trip to Europe

With a 20 GB plan, you have a fixed amount of data to use within a set period 📊.
If you make intensive use of those 20 GB, the plan might end sooner than expected ⏳.
If your usage is moderate, you can make it last until the last day ✅.

With an unlimited plan, the internet stays with you for the entire duration of your trip 🌍, without you having to worry about consumption 📶.
You can use maps, messaging, social media, or search for information whenever you need it 📱, with the peace of mind of knowing that the connection won't run out 😌.

Although at times the speed may be adjusted due to intensive use ⚠️, the service remains active and resets automatically, allowing you to stay connected from start to finish 🔄✨.

Still have doubts? 🤔
Don't worry, we'll show you some everyday scenarios you might identify with 👇✨

💼 Extended business trip

Travelers who spend several weeks abroad for work reasons. Their phone is practically a portable office 📱💻: virtual meetings, cloud files, emails that can't wait, and messages arriving at any time.
In this case, an unlimited plan provides total peace of mind, allowing them to work without thinking about how much data they're using or having to make unexpected top-ups.

🎒 Backpacker exploring several countries

For those traveling with a backpack and constantly moving between cities and countries, their phone becomes a key tool 📱: maps open almost all day, real-time recommendations, social media stories, messages, calls, and bookings on the go.
Here, an unlimited plan offers total freedom to improvise and document the trip without restrictions.

However, if the traveler prefers to disconnect more 🌿 and only needs mobile data to find their way between journeys or handle the basics, a GB plan might suffice.
It all depends on the pace of the trip and how digital they want their experience to be.

👨👩👧👦 Family vacation

On a family trip, internet usage tends to multiply 📸📍: photos, videos, constant searches, locations, impromptu plans, and in many cases, more than one person using the same device as a hotspot.
An unlimited plan eliminates arguments and worries, allowing everyone to enjoy and share data without limits.

On the other hand, if the plan is more relaxed, with moments to disconnect 🧘♂️ and the internet is only used to coordinate activities, find restaurants 🍽️, or check social media occasionally, a GB plan can adapt well to that more leisurely travel style.
