Uruguay data planning

How much data might your Uruguay 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.
