The choice depends on how many countries you will visit. And one detail changes everything: validity starts on FIRST use, in any covered country. Not at purchase, and not at your final destination.
Choose by your itinerary
I am staying in a single country
Local plan. It is the cheapest per gigabyte and the simplest to pick: one destination, one coverage area.
I am visiting several countries in the same region
Regional plan, such as Europe, Latin America or Asia. One package crosses the border without swapping eSIMs. Check that ALL your destinations are on the included-countries list.
My trip spans different continents
Global plan. It costs more per gigabyte, but saves you from buying and installing one eSIM per leg.
I have a layover in another country. Does that count?
If you use the internet during the layover and that country is covered, validity starts there. On a short layover, the safest move is to leave the Wavee line switched off until you arrive.
What the country list changes
Some destinations are served by a regional package even when you buy the country on its own. Coverage ends up wider than the product name suggests, and validity still starts on first use in any country on the list.
Before buying, open the included-countries list on the product page. That list is what counts, not the plan name.
