Questions about each
MTX Connect
How much does an MTX Connect plan cost?+
Entry plans start at €10, above the €5 median starting price across brands here. The range is sold on regional and global scope, so a regional plan and a global plan sit at different price points. Top-ups are available if a plan runs out mid-trip.
Is the data allowance really unlimited?+
Unlimited data is available and next generation mobile networks are supported, but the fair use policy sets limits: continuous video streaming and downloading are ruled out, and permanent roaming is blocked once a cumulative staying period is passed. Ordinary browsing, maps and messaging sit comfortably inside those terms.
Redteago
How much do Redteago eSIMs cost?+
Plans start at $1.60, and the starting price per GB is $0.83. The US plan listed runs at $8.30, while the reference plans include a global option with a much longer validity priced higher. Longer validity costs more than a short regional plan.
How many countries do Redteago eSIMs cover?+
Redteago covers from 180 countries, well above the site median of 74, and sells local, regional and global plans. You can buy a plan for a single stop or a global plan for a multi-country route from the same account.
