How to check remaining data usage

2 min readUpdated: May 9, 2026

You can check your remaining tukango eSIM data in two places: the tukango dashboard (most accurate) and your phone's cellular settings (rough estimate).

This is the most accurate, real-time view of your usage.

1

Open your dashboard

Go to tukango.com and log in. If you bought as a guest, use the link in your order confirmation email.

2

Find your active eSIM

In the Active eSIMs section, you'll see a card for each plan. Each card shows:

  • Country and flag
  • A visual data usage bar
  • X.X GB of Y GB remaining
  • Validity end date
  • Status (Active, In Use, Expired)
3

Tap for more details

Click an eSIM card for the full breakdown:

  • Data used so far
  • Data remaining
  • Daily usage history (some plans)
  • Network you're connected to
  • Top-up button if you're running low
4

Refresh manually if needed

The dashboard updates automatically, but you can pull-to-refresh on mobile or click the refresh icon if you want the latest data right now.

Bookmark your dashboard or save it to your home screen for one-tap access. On iPhone: Safari → Share → Add to Home Screen.

Method 2: Phone cellular settings

A rough cumulative count of data used on the eSIM line. Less accurate than the dashboard but works without WiFi.

iPhone

  1. Open Settings → Cellular
  2. Scroll to Cellular Data
  3. Find your tukango line
  4. The number under the line name shows total data used since the counter was last reset

⚠️ This counter doesn't reset automatically — it shows lifetime usage on that line until you tap Reset Statistics at the bottom of the screen.

Samsung Galaxy

  1. Open Settings → Connections → Data usage
  2. Tap Mobile data usage
  3. Switch to the tukango line if needed
  4. View used data for the current billing cycle

Google Pixel

  1. Open Settings → Network & internet → SIMs
  2. Tap your tukango eSIM
  3. Tap App data usage
  4. View total used data for the current period

When to check

Daily check-in is a good habit if you're on a tight data budget. Most travelers underestimate how much they use — especially video, social media, and navigation.

Top up before you reach zero. Once data hits 0, your phone disconnects from the network completely. Top up when you're at 20-30% remaining to avoid an outage.

Apps like Google Maps and Spotify can use 200+ MB per hour. Disable background app refresh and use offline modes when possible to stretch your data.
