How should I estimate data for a trip between Banjul and Serekunda?

For a route linking Banjul, Serekunda and Kololi, consider trip length and how often you will check maps or update bookings. Estimate from your own use of maps, messaging, social uploads and Wi-Fi; video, hotspot use and photo backup can increase demand. The ranges on this page are seven-day examples, not a prediction for your trip.

What should I save offline for a trip to the Gambia?

In the Gambia, save tickets, meeting points, arrival addresses and maps for your planned stops. Check that the selected offer includes the destination; local signal may vary.

What should I compare in a plan for a route between Banjul and Serekunda?

Confirm the selected offer includes the Gambia rather than assuming service in the Gambia is the same along the full route. Review the selected plan's current country or territory list, validity, data allowance and activation terms before purchase.

Gambia data planning

How much data might your Gambia trip use?

The examples below describe different trip patterns and the assumptions behind each estimate. Your actual use depends on your apps, settings, trip length and access to Wi-Fi.

Seven-day light-use calculator example

3.6–5.5 GB

Assumes: Seven days of messaging, email, browsing and occasional maps, with streaming and video calls off, light social use and few photo uploads. Wi-Fi availability is not included in this activity estimate and may reduce mobile data used.

Seven-day typical-use calculator example

10.1–15.1 GB

Assumes: Seven days with light streaming and video calls, daily maps, moderate social use and photo uploads. Wi-Fi access is not modelled and may reduce mobile data used; hotspot, higher-resolution video and app updates can raise demand.

These are rough planning examples, not plan allowances or promises. Actual data use varies with apps, settings, trip length and Wi-Fi. Compare estimates with the live plan options above.
