Karib

The rule: 5 GB covers two weeks of WhatsApp, maps and normal social media. Daily video calls home? Take 10 GB. Sharing your connection with the family? Take 20 GB.
Rough per-hour numbers: WhatsApp voice ~40 MB, WhatsApp video ~300–500 MB, TikTok/Reels ~700 MB–1 GB, YouTube HD ~1–3 GB. Photos in the family chat are peanuts; video is what eats the plan. Average monthly use at home is 15–20 GB — but abroad you behave differently: more video calls home, more maps, more translating.
THE CALM TRAVELER (WhatsApp texts, maps, light scrolling): 1 GB/week — take 5 GB for two-three weeks with margin. THE CALLER (video calls home every evening, daily social media): 3–4 GB/week — take 10 GB. THE FAMILY HUB (hotspot to the kids' tablets, streaming): 7–10 GB/week — take 20 GB and read our connection-sharing guide.
Unsure? Take the smaller plan. With Karib you top up the same eSIM in one tap if it runs out — you never scan a new QR code.
Download offline maps for the city BEFORE flying (Google Maps → your profile → Offline maps). Set WhatsApp to not auto-download media on mobile data. Download music and the kids' movies on the family's wifi. And turn off automatic app updates over mobile data — a single game update can eat 2 GB.
You top up the same eSIM from your order page in one tap — no new QR, no reinstall. We also email you a heads-up around 80% usage.
As data, and they're light: a voice call uses about 40 MB per hour. You can call home daily for a week on under half a GB.
'Unlimited' abroad almost always has fine print: speed caps after a daily quota. We'd rather sell an honest number of full-speed GB than an 'unlimited' that crawls after lunch.
