The cost of data varies enormously around the world. If you are roaming with a phone from another country, the differences can be even more dramatic.

Typically, the more remote the country, the more you will pay. Saint Helena and the Falkland Islands (Islas Malvinas) rank alongside Zimbabwe and Equatorial Guinea as the most pricey places to check your feed.

But the US can also be extremely expensive because of the way its market operates.

Wherever you are travelling you can save with an eSIM from Global South World’s partner, Gjirafa Travel, with an exclusive 10% discount.

This map shows prices according to Cable.co.uk. United Kingdom-based price comparison website analysed thousands of mobile data plans across more than 230 countries and territories to calculate the average cost of 1GB of mobile data in U.S. dollars.

Cable.co.uk notes that price alone does not necessarily reflect value. Consumers in higher-priced markets may receive faster download speeds, broader rural coverage or larger bundled service packages, while lower prices often result from intense competition rather than lower operating costs.
