Curious about an unlimited-style eSIM, but not sure whether 1GB of high-speed data per day will be enough? On the Bloomy eSIM comparison page, unlimited-style plans now let you choose your daily high-speed data allowance: 1GB/day or 2GB/day. As a quick rule of thumb: if your trip is mostly maps, messaging, and looking things up, 1GB/day usually covers it; if you also want to enjoy some video and social media on the go, 2GB/day is the safer pick; and if you'd rather not think about a daily high-speed cap at all, take a look at Unlimited Max. This article explains how unlimited-style plans work, the difference between 1GB/day and 2GB/day, how to choose between them, and what to check before you buy.
- Unlimited plans now offer a choice of 1GB or 2GB of high-speed data per day
- Even after you use up the daily allowance, data keeps working at reduced speed
- Your high-speed allowance resets when a new day begins
- Watching video or scrolling social media a lot? 2GB/day is the better fit
- Prefer no daily cap? That's what Unlimited Max is for
What's New: Switch Between 1GB/Day and 2GB/Day on the Same Plan Card
Until now, the unlimited-style plans on Bloomy's comparison page were mainly offered with a 1GB/day high-speed allowance. With this update, you can switch to a 2GB/day option right on the same plan card.
- Pick your travel days first: Choose how many days you need, then toggle between the high-speed allowances (1GB/day or 2GB/day) while seeing the total price for your trip. Thinking in terms of "days × data per day" makes it easier to match the plan to your itinerary.
- 2GB/day carries a "Recommended" badge: As a guide for travelers who want room for video and social media, the 2GB/day option is marked "Recommended".
- The no-cap option is still here: If you'd rather skip the daily high-speed limit entirely, Unlimited Max remains available.
Please note that the plans, pricing (shown in USD), and terms actually available can vary by country and region — the 2GB/day option is not offered in every destination. Check the latest details on the eSIM comparison page at the time of purchase.
How Unlimited-Style Plans Work: The Daily High-Speed Allowance
Bloomy's unlimited-style plans work like this: once you use up your high-speed data allowance for the day, your connection slows down — and when a new day begins, your high-speed allowance resets. Because your connection keeps working even after the allowance runs out, you're far less likely to suddenly lose the essentials mid-day — checking a map, sending a message, staying reachable while you travel.
The word "unlimited" is often taken to mean "as much high-speed data as you want, whenever you want" — but in practice, unlimited-style eSIMs typically come with fair-use conditions, such as a daily high-speed allowance or a speed change after a certain amount of use. Bloomy puts these conditions front and center — you choose "1GB/day high-speed" or "2GB/day high-speed" before you buy — so there's no unpleasant surprise after purchase.
Your high-speed allowance resets each day. Even on a longer stay, you can plan your usage one day at a time — which makes unlimited-style plans easy to budget for a trip, a study-abroad stay, or an extended visit.
1GB/Day vs. 2GB/Day vs. Unlimited Max (Comparison Table)
Here's how the three options compare at a glance.
| 1GB/day high-speed | 2GB/day high-speed | Unlimited Max | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Daily high-speed data | 1GB | 2GB | No daily high-speed cap |
| After the allowance is used | Data continues at reduced speed (resets the next day) | Data continues at reduced speed (resets the next day) | — |
| Best suited for | Maps, search, and messaging | Some video, social media, and photo sharing on top | Using data without watching a counter |
| How to decide | Good if most days are light on data | Not sure? Start here (marked "Recommended") | Review the usage terms before buying |
Video streaming and video calls consume very different amounts of data depending on quality settings and how long you watch — there's no fixed answer to "how many minutes of video does 1GB get me?" If you expect to spend real time on video, the extra headroom of 2GB/day or Unlimited Max is the safer choice. Keep in mind that unlimited-style plans, including Unlimited Max, may still be subject to fair-use policies and other usage conditions — check the latest terms on the plan page before you buy.
Which Option Is Right for You?
1GB/day is a good fit if you:
- Mainly use maps, transit directions, web searches, and messaging
- Plan to lean on hotel or café Wi-Fi part of the time
- Are happy to save video watching for when you're on Wi-Fi
2GB/day is a good fit if you:
- Want to enjoy social media and some video while out and about
- Like to share photos and videos the same day you take them
- Have found 1GB/day a little tight on a past trip
When a regular fixed-data plan beats an unlimited-style plan
If your stay is short and you know roughly how much data you'll use, or you'll spend most of your time on Wi-Fi, a regular plan — chosen by total data for the whole trip — may suit you better. The eSIM comparison page lets you compare regular and unlimited-style plans side by side on the same screen.
From Purchase to Getting Online
- Choose your destination country or region on the comparison page
- On the unlimited-style plan card, select how many days you need
- With the total price displayed, toggle between the high-speed allowances (1GB/day or 2GB/day) and pick one
- After purchase, tap the setup link you receive to add the eSIM to your phone
- When you arrive at your destination, switch the line on and you're connected
You'll find step-by-step instructions in the setup guide. Before buying, it's worth confirming that your phone supports eSIM with the device compatibility checker. And if you have trouble connecting after you arrive, see the connection troubleshooting guide.
Things to Know Before You Buy
- Data only: These eSIMs do not include a phone number, so voice calls and SMS over the cellular network are not available. App-based calling that runs over data — WhatsApp, Messenger, FaceTime, and similar — works as usual. If you need a phone number or SMS verification, plan for an alternative alongside your eSIM.
- Speeds depend on local conditions: Real-world performance varies with the local network, coverage area, congestion, and your device. Even within your high-speed allowance, the experience can differ by location and time of day.
- Availability varies by destination: In some countries and regions, only the 1GB/day option is offered. Confirm the plans and pricing actually available on the comparison page before purchase.
- Already bought an eSIM? Nothing changes: This update does not affect the data allowance or terms of any eSIM you've already purchased. You can review your existing plans in My Account.
"Unlimited" doesn't mean full speed no matter how much you use. Checking the daily high-speed allowance and any fair-use conditions before you buy means no surprises once you're abroad.
In Short: Pick Just the Data You Actually Need
With this update, unlimited-style plans let you choose between 1GB/day and 2GB/day of high-speed data to match how you travel. Mostly maps and messaging? 1GB/day. Some video and social media too? 2GB/day. Don't want to think about a daily cap? That's Unlimited Max. To see what's available for your destination, head to the eSIM comparison page and filter by country, travel days, and daily high-speed data. We'll keep refining the comparison page so it's always easy to pick exactly the data you need — wherever you're headed.
