Data dipped after lunch streaming. Worth a prepaid SIM top-up mid-day before evening maps near the curb, or stick to hotel Wi-Fi until we leave. Not eSIM activation stuck, and not cafe Wi-Fi uploads.

A quick prepaid top-up mid-day is worth it if maps and Meet-ups matter tonight — keep the vendor receipt and test data outside the shop.

If you only need maps for the last hop, hotel Wi-Fi download of offline maps can be enough.

Avoid topping up from random street hawkers — use a proper reseller or the operator shop.
