Record a few observations about the tasks you used your phone for, then compare the next trip with those observations instead of inventing a universal allowance.
A better “I’ve arrived” plan for the people back home

Before moving to the next city, refresh your arrival details, bookings and plan assumptions so yesterday’s information does not follow you by mistake.
The small paperwork checklist for a travel data plan
Keep the purchase details that help you explain a travel data plan later, without filling an expense report with sensitive account information.
