Listen up, data-hungry travelers!
You're off to Albania, land of stunning beaches and epic mountains.
But let's talk about the real MVP of your trip: your mobile data.
Because let's face it, you need those Instagram stories and Google Maps.
Here's how to squeeze every last byte out of your eSIM in Albania.
First things first:
eSIMs are like the Swiss Army knife of mobile data.

2. Enable data saver mode
3. Use Wi-Fi whenever possible
4. Limit background app refresh
These alone can cut your data use in half.
Now, let's get local:

2. Facebook
- Tip: Use the lite version
3. YouTube

4. Google Maps

When you're down to your last megabytes:

2. Switch to 2G or 3G (slower, but uses less data)
3. Use SMS instead of messaging apps
4. Embrace the digital detox (Albania's beautiful offline too!)
