Checking Your Data Usage and Balance
How to monitor your eSIM data consumption through your device settings, the Roambit dashboard, and usage alerts.
Checking Your Data Usage and Balance
Stay on top of your data usage to avoid running out during your trip. Here's how to check your balance.
Method 1: Roambit Account Dashboard
The most accurate way to check your remaining data:
- Visit roambit.io and log in
- Go to My eSIMs
- Select your active plan
- View your remaining data and validity period
Note: Dashboard data may have a slight delay (up to 15 minutes) compared to real-time usage.
Method 2: Device Settings
iPhone:
- Go to Settings → Cellular
- Scroll down to see data usage per SIM
- Look for your Roambit eSIM's usage
Important: iPhone data counters show total data since the last reset, not remaining balance. To get remaining data, check your Roambit dashboard.
Android:
- Go to Settings → Network & internet → SIMs
- Tap your Roambit eSIM
- View Data usage for the current period
Samsung:
- Go to Settings → Connections → Data usage
- Select your Roambit eSIM
- View usage graph and app breakdown
Method 3: Usage Alerts
Roambit sends automatic notifications:
- 50% usage - Halfway through your data
- 80% usage - Time to consider topping up
- 90% usage - Almost depleted
- 100% usage - Data exhausted, consider a top-up
These alerts are sent via email and push notification (if you have the Roambit app installed).
Tips to Manage Data Usage
- Download maps offline before your trip (Google Maps → Download offline map)
- Use Wi-Fi at hotels, cafés, and airports when available
- Disable auto-play videos on social media apps
- Turn off automatic app updates over cellular data
- Use data saver mode on your device
- Compress data - Use Opera browser with data compression enabled

- Top up your current plan - How to Top Up
