This is a review of published plans and terms, not a hands-on test. Prices checked 15 Oct 2026.
Where it does well
- Often the lower-priced unlimited option in our data — the price table below shows each destination.
- Only provider in our data with packages that include minutes and SMS (Mexico).
- Fixed-data packages in Austria cost a fraction of unlimited plans for light users.
Limitations
- Country pages do not state hotspot rules, 5G access or the fair-use terms behind "unlimited".
- Often names only one network, so you can't always tell which operator you'll use.
- Fixed-data packages were not shown on most country pages we checked.
