Most plans: up to 5 Mbps after the daily data
1 or 2 GB a day at full speed, depending on the destination, then up to 5 Mbps until the next day. This is how 91% of our unlimited plans work.
Unlimited plans, explained
What happens after your daily high-speed data
Almost every "unlimited" travel eSIM gives you a daily amount of data at full speed. The difference is what comes after. In 9 out of 10 Telcomia unlimited plans you keep going at up to 5 Mbps until the next day. Saily publishes 1 Mbps or less and Nomad about 1 or 2 Mbps; Airalo and Holafly publish no figure.
Figures checked on November 10, 2026 on each provider's own website.
How Telcomia's unlimited plans work
Some plans: data for the whole trip, then 2 Mbps
A set amount of full-speed data for the whole plan, used at your own pace, then 2 Mbps. This is how 7% of our unlimited plans work.
A few plans: other conditions
A handful of plans have no daily limit or other figures. Every plan shows its own figures in the price table and in the plan details before you pay.
5 Mbps or 1 Mbps: what you can still do
Speeds once the daily full-speed data is used up. They are maximums: coverage and network load also matter.
| What you do | 5 Mbps | 1 Mbps |
|---|---|---|
| Messages, email and maps | Yes | Yes |
| Social media with photos | Yes | Slow |
| Video calls | Yes, usually | Limited |
| Video | HD (720p) | Low quality (360p) |
| Downloading 1 GB (theoretical) | about 27 minutes | about 2 hours 15 minutes |
YouTube recommends a sustained 0.7 Mbps for 360p video, 2.5 Mbps for 720p and 5 Mbps for 1080p. YouTube

Which one suits you?
- If you mostly use maps, messages, social media and calls, the speed after the daily limit is what you will notice most: with 5 Mbps the phone keeps working normally.
- If you upload a lot of video or use more than 3 GB a day at full speed, a larger daily allowance matters more. Look at each plan's figures before you buy.
- For a whole family or group, each phone needs its own eSIM: the daily data is per eSIM.
Frequently asked questions
Is Telcomia's unlimited data really unlimited?
You do not run out of data: when you use up the daily full-speed amount, the connection continues at a reduced speed until the next day. In 9 out of 10 of our unlimited plans that speed is up to 5 Mbps.
What speed do I get after the daily limit with Telcomia?
Up to 5 Mbps in 9 out of 10 of our unlimited plans. Plans with data for the whole trip continue at 2 Mbps once it is used up. Each plan shows its figures before you pay.
Is 5 Mbps enough for video calls and maps?
Yes, in normal conditions. 5 Mbps is enough for messages, maps, social media, video calls and HD video; it is not enough for 4K video or large downloads.
Where can I see the figures for my plan?
In the price table, which lists every unlimited plan with its full-speed data and the speed after, and in the plan details on the prices page before you pay.
