3GB is a go-to data size for travel: enough for maps, social media and search, plus photo sharing and the occasional short video. Bloomy eSIM offers plenty of competitively priced plans compared with major services, and in some destinations a plan can cost anywhere from under half to roughly a third of comparable options (this doesn't mean it's always the cheapest).
How far does 3GB go?
If you mainly use maps, social media and search, 3GB suits a trip of a few days up to about a week. If you watch a lot of video, consider 5GB or more. Actual usage varies with your apps and habits.
