How not to overpay
A 2-3 day business trip
Email, maps, taxis and messaging. 1 or 3 GB usually does it: $3.72 or $8.40. The 1-day option in the calculator is $4.80, more than the 1 GB plan.
A week's holiday
5 GB for $13.20 or 10 GB for $22.80. Without much video, 5 GB is the sensible pick.
Longer, with video calls
The gigabyte gets cheaper with size: about $1.58 on 30 GB against $3.72 on 1 GB. But this is where the gap with Armenia is widest, so estimate your use honestly.
Before you fly

- You have 180 days after purchase to activate it. The plan period starts when you connect to the network.
- Data only: no calls, no SMS, no local number.
- Speed may be limited under the operator's Fair Usage Policy.
