The data amount shown in your order details on My Account now matches the plan you chose at checkout (for example, 1GB), so you can see at a glance exactly how much data you purchased. Previously this figure could appear with small fractional values; now it's rounded to match your plan label. It's a small change, but seeing the same number before and after you buy makes a real difference, especially if it's your first time using an eSIM.
What's new in this update
We've aligned the "data amount" shown in your order details on My Account with the plan label you saw at checkout.
- Order details now display data in your plan's terms (for example, 1GB)
- Figures that previously appeared with small fractional values are now rounded to match the plan label
- The amount you saw when buying and the amount shown in your order details now match
As a result, the data amount you see at checkout matches what you later find in My Account.
Why we made this change
Internally, data is often handled in very precise units such as bytes. Depending on how that figure was displayed, a plan you bought as "1GB" could show up with a fractional value in your order details.
The number itself wasn't wrong, but when what you see at purchase differs from what you see later, it can leave you wondering exactly what you bought. We want everyone—including people using an eSIM abroad for the first time—to feel confident, so keeping these labels consistent matters to us.
How this helps you
This adjustment makes the following moments clearer:
- Checking after purchase: When you open your order details in My Account, you'll see the data amount in the same terms as your plan, such as "1GB."
- Reviewing before you travel: When you look back at how much data you bought before departure, the consistent labels make it easier to follow.
- Managing multiple plans: If you've purchased several plans, the data is shown consistently by plan, making them easier to compare.
The care behind it, the Bloomy way
It's a small fix that only changes how a number is displayed, but matching what you see at purchase with what you see afterward goes straight to peace of mind. For us, consistency in these everyday details is just as important as headline features for helping first-time users feel at ease. Something as fundamental as your data amount deserves a label that doesn't drift.
A closer look: understanding data amounts and worrying less about "will it be enough?"
Alongside this display improvement, here are a few points people often wonder about when it comes to eSIM data. We hope they help as you choose a plan.
A rough guide to GB and MB
Data is measured in MB (megabytes) and GB (gigabytes). One GB is roughly 1,000MB. How much you use varies a lot with how you browse, but as a general rule, text-based messaging and checking maps tend to be relatively light, while streaming video and video calls tend to use more data. Actual usage depends on the app, the video quality, and how long you're connected, so it's best to treat these as rough guides.
Choosing by data, days, and destination
When picking a plan, it helps to think about three things: which country or region you're heading to, how many days you'll stay, and how much data you expect to use. For a short trip focused on maps and messaging, a smaller data amount may be enough; for a longer stay or frequent video, a larger amount or an unlimited plan could be worth considering. Whether you choose by data amount or by days often comes down to your travel style.
What to do if you might run low on data
If you start worrying about data during your stay, there are broadly two directions you can take. One is to top up (add more data) and keep using the same eSIM, where supported. The other is to buy a new plan and switch between them. Topping up often means you don't have to redo your settings, though the number of top-ups and the conditions can vary by plan. Buying a new plan gives you the flexibility to choose a different data amount or duration. Which suits you best depends on how long you're staying and what's left on your itinerary, so it's reassuring to picture in advance what you'll do if you run low. Please also check My Account and our guidance for the latest on top-up availability and how to check your remaining data.
Small habits to avoid using too much
To use your data with a plan in mind, it helps to switch to Wi-Fi where it's available, review autoplay and high-quality video settings, and load the map areas you'll need ahead of time. Please note that Bloomy plans are data-only. If you need a phone number, SMS verification, or voice calls, it's worth lining up another option as well. App-based calls, such as those in WhatsApp and similar apps, may be available wherever you have a working data connection.
What's coming next
We want to keep making the way data and remaining balances are shown even clearer. We plan to keep refining the display step by step, aiming for something that leaves no room for doubt before or after purchase. We'll share the details in our development updates as they're decided.
