You can find how much data you've used in your phone settings!
Apple

Android
Settings > Connections > Data Usage > Billing Cycle and data warning > Select the period from the day you started using the SIM to the current day. Save and your data usage will be shown
We’d recommend grabbing a new eSIM from the website and following the same installation & activation process to get more data! We don’t offer top-ups at the moment!
eSIMs are designed to only be used on one device so once you install it - don’t uninstall it as it cannot be reinstalled again.
