Worth knowing
3 of ZenSim's 3 plans carry a note that a detail wasn't stated or couldn't be read (for example what happens when data runs out), so check the provider's page before you buy.
Check your phone is unlocked and works on the Vodafone network, because ZenSim uses it. Look at the coverage map for the places you live and work.
Keep your number: ask ZenSim to move it when you sign up, and don't cancel your old plan first. Your old provider texts a code to confirm, and the move is usually done the same day.
Pay up front: it's prepaid, so you recharge before you start. The smallest first payment is $30 (ZenSim 35GB), then $30 a month.
None of the 3 ZenSim plans we track has a lock-in contract, so you can leave without a fee.
eSIM (no plastic SIM) is listed on 3 of 3 plans, so you can switch on the spot with a compatible phone.
Our data says that if your data runs out it stops until the next recharge or month, with no extra charge.
How the prices line up
Each dot is a plan. Further right means more data a month; higher means a dearer first year. Cheapest $360, dearest $720.
