How much data for 3 days?

Light: about 0.8 GB before a safety buffer — Maps, messaging, email and light browsing.

Moderate: about 2.3 GB before a safety buffer — Navigation, social media, browsing and some short video.

Heavy: about 4.5 GB before a safety buffer — Frequent social/video use plus hotspot or uploads.

Remote work: about 9.0 GB before a safety buffer — Hotspot use, video calls, cloud files and heavier streaming.

A 20% buffer is useful if you expect navigation-heavy days, hotspot use or cellular photo backup.

Validity can eliminate an otherwise cheap plan

A package that expires before day 3 is not a complete solution unless you plan to top up or buy another package. Compare full-trip cost rather than the lowest entry price.

Price is not the only filter

Check the local network, hotspot policy, high-speed fair-use rules, activation timing and whether you need ordinary voice/SMS. For Canadian travellers, keeping the home SIM active for incoming SMS can also affect the setup.
