FAQ

Are global plans a rip-off?

For a single-country stay, yes — 2–4× the per-GB price of a local plan. Across 5+ countries, the time saved not swapping SIMs outweighs the premium.

Which countries are typically excluded?

Cuba, North Korea and similar markets are almost never covered; some African and Central Asian countries vary by provider — check your route list before buying.

Will speeds be throttled?

Mostly 4G roaming; some countries cap at 10–20Mbps — fine for maps and social. Heavy users should stack a local plan.
