Question 1

Which USA & Canada eSIM plan fits a short trip vs a heavy-data trip?

Accepted Answer

For a short city break or light browsing, a 1–5 GB fixed-data plan is usually enough and costs less. For longer trips, remote work, or heavy streaming, look at daily unlimited plans — they give you a set high-speed allowance each day (often 500 MB–2 GB/day) with reduced-speed fallback. The right choice depends on how many days you're traveling and how much you rely on data-heavy apps.

Question 2

Should I choose a daily unlimited or fixed-data USA & Canada eSIM?

Accepted Answer

Daily unlimited plans give you a set high-speed data bucket each day (e.g., 500 MB or 1 GB/day). If you hit the limit, data continues at reduced speed. Fixed-data plans give you a total pool to use however you like over the plan duration — but data stops when you run out. Choose daily if you want predictable per-day costs; choose fixed if your usage varies day to day.
