How are these choices made?
Best value means the cheapest eligible plan with 20% allowance headroom, falling back to the cheapest eligible plan if none has that headroom. Unlimited preference uses the cheapest eligible unlimited plan. Equal prices are resolved by least unused validity, then stable plan ID. Network coverage, speed claims and affiliate commission do not create a hidden score.
Choose for your own trip
Light use assumes 0.5 GB/day, regular use 1 GB/day and heavy use 2 GB/day. Unlimited preference also checks a 2 GB/day high-speed estimate. Real usage varies; hotspot shares the data budget.
