How do I choose between a fixed data plan and an unlimited data plan?

  • Fixed Data Plan: Great for short trips or if you have a specific usage in mind (e.g., checking emails, light browsing). It’s a budget-friendly choice that allows you to control costs. You pay only for the data you need without overspending. However, if you exceed the limit, you may need to top-up. 

 

  • Unlimited Data Plan: Ideal for longer trips, heavy usage (streaming, GPS, hotspot sharing), and those who want peace of mind. While it may cost more upfront, it eliminates the worry of running out of data.
  • Consider Hotspot Data Sharing:

           Fixed Data Plans: You can share the entire data amount you purchased with other devices.

           Unlimited Plans: Hotspot sharing is limited to 500MB per day during the plan's valid days.

Compare Your Needs: If you prioritize budget control, share data a lot with other devices, go with a fixed plan. If flexibility and worry-free usage are more important, and mainly use the data on your phone,  an unlimited plan is the best option.
