If I travel outside of my country, will I need new SIMs?

If I travel outside of my country, do I need to purchase data in my destination region?

No, data is calculated by the credit in your account. If you have $100 of credit in your account, you’ll be charged the rate of the region you’re in, which is automatically deducted. You can travel to any region without having to purchase new data.

Does the data expire?

Data expires after 6 months. Expiration date renews every time more data is purchased.
