Applications such as Whatsapp, Instagram and navigation do not consume much data. If you stay longer, it may be convenient to opt for 12GB so that you definitely have enough data.

Great compliments
Big compliments to Airport Telecom ! For my vacation to the Philippines, I received an Unlimited Sim card that really worked perfectly everywhere. The Philippines are very vast but I had coverage everywhere. A travel companion only had problems with a locally purchased Sim card so I was happy with my Sim from Airport Telecom ! I recommend this company to everyone for a carefree vacation. Anko

Top service
Top service. Purchased a sim card with 12 gb for 9 days in California. After some questions both via email and over the phone I made the choice to purchase it from Airport Telecom. Clear instructions and fast home delivery! I activated the card on advice at home, changed SIM cards on the plane and once we landed in Los Angeles we immediately had a stable connection to the network.
