Halo offers single-country and regional data plans. Choosing the right one depends on where you are going, how long you are travelling, and how much data you expect to use.
Single-country vs regional plans
Single-country plans cover one destination. They tend to offer more data for the price because the coverage is narrower. Choose a single-country plan if your entire trip is in one country.
Regional plans cover multiple countries under one data allowance. A Europe regional plan, for example, covers most of the continent on a single eSIM. Choose a regional plan if you are visiting multiple countries in one trip. You will not need a separate eSIM for each stop, and the full country list for each plan is shown on its destination page before you buy.
See Countries and regions covered for the full list of destinations and which regional plans include them.
Matching plan duration to your trip
Plans have a validity period that starts when your eSIM first connects to a network at your destination. Choose a plan whose validity period covers your full trip.
| Trip length | Suggested validity |
|---|---|
| Weekend (2-3 days) | 7-day plan |
| One week | 7 or 10-day plan |
| Two weeks | 15 or 30-day plan |
| One month or longer | 30-day plan, top up as needed |
A plan with a longer validity period than your trip length is fine. Unused days do not carry over, but you avoid the risk of your plan expiring before you leave.
How much data to choose
Your data needs depend on your usage habits. Light users who rely on messaging and maps may need 1-3 GB for a week. Heavy users who stream video and make video calls may need 10 GB or more.
See How much data do I need? for a detailed breakdown by activity type.
Can I change my plan after purchase?
Once an eSIM is purchased and delivered, the plan cannot be changed. However, you can top up your data if you run out before your trip ends.
If you purchased a plan for the wrong destination and have not activated the eSIM, you can request a full refund and buy the right plan instead. See Wrong destination purchased for details.
