Data Allowance for Smartphones

[Phoebe]

Do you know how many GB you use per month or what plan you pay for on your smartphone? We are thinking of switching companies for cell phones and I am unsure how many GB would be necessary. I have an iphone.

TIA!

Most people don't even go past 2 GB of use, unless they tether (Verizon) or use the phone as a wi-fi hot spot. So I've been told.
If you use your phone's web browser, you aren't DLing that much; however, if you're using your computer and the phone as a tether/hot-spot, then it's significantly more.
Although I'm grandfathered in with unlimited data plan usage for a flat rate, both AT&T and Verizon recommend purchasing the lowest data package, as it will suit most needs.

Hopefully, that helps!

My online account says that in 13 days of this cycle I have used .113 GB of data and I consider myself to be a pretty heavy user.

I can't access my last month's bill for some reason.

I'm a SUPER heavy user and I think I've only ever once gone over 2.5 GB. We have grandfathered unlimited plans, too.

I go over once every few months. Not enough to up my plan. With AT&T, if you go over, they just add another $15 to your bill.

As an FYI, I think streaming apps like Pandora can up your usage.

I've used over 1/2 GB since Friday, so not even 5 full days. I am a heavy user, really heavy. I am on a grandfathered unlimited plan.

Dh almost always goes over the 2gb. I don't but just in case I have the unlimited plan and I'm keeping it. I figure as the phones get faster and I spend more and more time away from my house I will stream more using the network. Right now a lot of my streaming is at home-- using my wifi.

[SuzySunshine]

You know I just realized that is why mine probably isn't higher I use it at home more then out.
