Weekend (2-3 days)
Weekend trip to Czech Republic (2-3 days): 5GB covers moderate use (maps, social, messaging) on O2 Czech Republic's 5G network. The 5GB plan at $4.89 fits the trip. Unlimited at $7.86 for 3 days costs more than fixed for a short stay. Do not overbuy. A 3-day trip does not need a 20GB plan.
Vacation (7-14 days)
Vacation in Czech Republic (4 days): 6GB at 1.5GB/day for social sharing, navigation, and restaurant searches. The 10GB plan at $9.47 ($0.95/GB) on O2 Czech Republic's 5G covers the trip. Add 20% to your estimate if you plan to post daily photo sets or use camera translation.
Business (3-7 days)
Corporate travelers in Czech Republic need 3GB/day across 4 days (12GB total) for conferencing, messaging, and document sync. Unlimited at $2.62/day prevents mid-meeting data cutoffs on O2 Czech Republic. Average download speeds: 80Mbps in Czech Republic's business districts, fast enough for HD video conferencing.
Backpacking (10-30 days)
Backpacking through Czech Republic (14+ days): 12GB at 0.8GB/day for maps, hostel apps, and messaging. The 20GB plan at $20.53 ($1.03/GB) fits budget travelers on O2 Czech Republic's 5G network.
