In the table below we have calculated the savings for someone going on a two weeks vacation to Mexico, the UK or Spain based on a normal mobile phone usage pattern according to our observations. Our example is based on someone using 1GB data, sending 50 texts, and making 1 hour of calls to and receiving 1 hour of calls from the US.
