Are you heading off on holiday to discover new lands and wondering about internet for your vacation? Good thinking, because offline you'll be like Thor without his hammer! Theoretically, you can survive, but why suffer? Checking the weather or finding the best pizzeria nearby is just the tip of the iceberg of advantages that mobile internet offers on holiday today. Choosing the right package can be dizzying, but don't worry – we explain everything in this article!

Key information from the article:

  • Mobile internet on holiday means convenience, safety, and no stress when Wi-Fi fails
  • In EU countries, you use gigabytes just like in Poland, but outside Europe, it's worth having a well-planned package
  • The longer your trip and the higher your usage (e.g., maps, streaming, video calls), the more data you'll need
  • eSIM is a game-changer for travel – it allows you to have two operators at once, without juggling cards
  • Mobile Vikings offers are as simple as an oar – clear rules, no hidden catches, and a top-up option whenever you need it

Before you set sail, take care of your holiday internet

A Viking's word, that every brave soul who once literally turned on the internet outside the EU for a moment and received a 600 PLN bill knows it's no adventure! So, if you don't want to pay extra for every MB of internet on holiday, it's better to prepare in advance.

Why is it worth getting internet beforehand? Here are our arguments:

  • Mobile internet is simply convenient. Where Wi-Fi is unavailable or works as if swimming against the current, your own mobile internet saves the day. You use maps, check attractions and weather, set your course, and contact loved ones.
  • The advantages of mobile internet on holiday are countless and are not limited to mere survival. It comes to the rescue when boredom strikes on a long car journey or during a layover at the airport. A TV series, podcast, article – suddenly you have time for everything you lack space for in your daily hustle and bustle.
  • We know that some of you even check work stuff on holiday! In such situations, internet for holidays abroad is no longer a choice but a necessity. Battle-hardened sea wolves know perfectly well that struggling with poor Wi-Fi when you need to put out a business fire is the kind of adrenaline you can't enjoy!

3 rules to follow when choosing internet for your holiday

Set your course and full steam ahead!

Are you going to one of the EU countries? Well, that's Viking-style! Most mobile operators offer roaming there for free. Flying to Japan, the United States, Kosovo, or Bali? Here, you won't get anywhere without a special package!

Length of stay matters

You'll pack differently for a weekend in Prague than for a two-week road trip around Iceland. And you should approach buying holiday internet the same way. A smaller package will suffice for a short city break. You'll probably spend more time in cafes with free Wi-Fi anyway. However, for a long backpacking trip, it's better to take more GB or a package with a top-up option.

Visiting more than one country?

Check if your package works everywhere you're going. Sometimes it might turn out that you need separate packages for each country.

How much data do you really need?

Before you set out to blaze new trails, consider how much data you use daily in Poland. During a relaxing holiday, it might be similar or slightly less. If you plan to do a lot of sightseeing, use navigation, or heavily use social media, it's better to opt for larger packages.

What internet for your holiday? Stop here for a word!

At Mobile Vikings, roaming in EU countries works the same as in Poland. Your gigabytes sail with you to Spain, Italy, or Greece without extra charges. Ahoy to no hidden catches!

Our mobile internet offers are as simple as an oar. You know how much you pay, you know how many GB you have, you know how long the package lasts. Everything is clear and transparent. You can purchase additional gigabytes during your trip if it turns out you need more.  You can also choose eSIM. You then use two operators simultaneously – without juggling SIM cards. This is an ideal solution if you want internet only for the duration of your trip, without changing your main number.

FAQ – frequently asked questions

Is 5 GB of internet a lot for a week?

That depends on how intensively you use the internet. For social media, maps, and music – it's enough. But if you plan to stream videos, make video calls, or work remotely – 5 GB can quickly disappear.

How much internet to buy for a holiday?

For a holiday with the theme "relaxation," 5-10 GB will be entirely sufficient. For more active holidays – it's better to prepare 15 GB or more. And if you're unsure – choose a package with a top-up option if needed.
