Your Monaco eSIM in two questions
How much data do I need for Monaco?
Your trip length and how you use your phone decide the plan, so find the row that fits your trip.
- Three-day city break: Standard use, with social media, music and some video, comes to about 2.1 GB, so 3 GB for 15 days is your plan.
- Fortnight touring: Standard use over 14 days is about 9.8 GB, so 10 GB for 30 days covers it.
- Business trip: Heavy use, with streaming and a hotspot, comes to about 12.6 GB in a week, so 2 GB a day for 7 days fits.
- Long stay: Standard use across 30 days is about 21 GB, so 20 GB for 30 days is the pick.
Most plans can be topped up if your trip stretches.
