What does "unlimited" mean on a travel eSIM?
What does each provider state?
| Provider | Unlimited plans | Destinations | Most common stated policy | Median cost per day |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Airalo | 792 | 138 | 3 GB/day at full speed, then 1 Mbps | $3.83 |
| Holafly | 970 | 163 | No limit stated on the price page | $4.09 |
| Nomad | 313 | 83 | 2 GB/day at full speed, then 1 Mbps | $3.60 |
| Saily | 5 | 5 | 5 GB/day at full speed, then 1 Mbps | $3.07 |
Policy text is taken from each provider's own plan pages on 10 Nov 2026. "No limit stated" means we found no number on the price page, not that there is no limit.
Is unlimited worth it?
Compare the cost per day with a fixed plan sized to your use. On most country pages a 10–20 GB plan costs less than a week of unlimited. Unlimited pays off for heavy video, hotspot use (within each provider's sharing rules) or when you can't predict use.
Can I use unlimited data as a hotspot?
Check each provider. Holafly says its travel eSIMs allow hotspot sharing up to 1 GB per day.
