How much data do you use?

[iphonehype]

Three. Unlimited data, with tethering for £35 per month. LTE coming fourth quarter for no additional cost

If I were you I would check your area(s) with the Three postcode checker and come join me!

Lol - Its good in my area, but for simple tasks for phone calls its rubbish! A lot of friends will pay to leave the network that how bad it is! Dropped calls, etc...but data I heard its the bomb in the UK!

 

[boomhower]

Typically around 1.5GB's but this month north of 2GB's due to some netflix's usage, Orange is the New Black is pretty good.

 

[dessskris]

Ditto to the Giffgaff idea, unlimited data for 12£ per month?? Heck that's such an awesome deal! I'd go for it anytime.

 

[rgarjr]

Around 1GB on AT&T

I've been with 3 since the 4 came out and have never had any problems with dropped calls, call quality etc
I don't get a particularly strong signal indoors (1 bar sometimes 2) but still get 20 Mbps down ( 4 times faster than my wired broadband)

 

[Joyo]

usually use 2-3 GB per month.

 

[TheSwede]

I'm on a 20gb/month plan.
use roughly 12gb - 13gb a month.

 

[Ffosse]

On 3 UK I use around 80 to 120 Gbs each month.

I don't understand how you people use so much! I am constantly on my iphone 5 and rarely go over 500mb a month although I do connect to wifi when home

My mind wonders the same... I rarely go over 500MB in one month, and I'm also always on my phone.

However, if I didn't have WiFi at home, I'd probably be at 2-3GB since I tend to watch YouTube videos on my phone.

As I'm walking to work in the morning and evening--I stream radio. I also stream when I'm at the gym. There is no wifi available during these times. Other people work in different work environments, outdoors, on site etc. They may not have access to wifi either and sometimes need to use data for various reasons.

So basically the equation is: different people + different lifestyles = different usage patterns. There is no need to wonder.

The internet on my phone is around 4 times faster than my fixed broadband, and data is unlimited, so I cancelled my TV/landline/broadband package and just use my phone as a hotspot.

Watching a couple of movies a day and streaming music can easily use 3 to 4Gb.

Uhm suppose you are right it is a different story when streaming radio and videos throughout the day as I tend to only do that when at home on my wifi, basic web browsing, email checking, social media throughout the day only uses me around 400mb a month

 

[AdamInNi]

I don't use more than 500mb... It is very rare that I use 3G since there is Wifi pretty much everywhere these days. The whole town that I work in has free Wifi as does every shopping centre and even our local Tesco (kinda a wallmart for british people with less stuff in it...)

 

[JackieInCo]

I ended up using 21.6GB last month on one of my T-Mobile accounts. My DSL modem broke and so I renewed my old unlimited T-Mobile account just to use for the month. I downloaded several TV show episodes from iTunes and tethered for a week.

I keep that sim card which has the unlimited plan around for times when I will use tons of data but for the most part, it is rarely renewed. I use the $30 100 minute 5GB T-Mobile plan each month.

 

[GHQ5T]

Finally

350GB.

ATT has crack down on me though.

can't do **** with dial up speeds now.

I finally found someone that uses more data than me. I tought I was bad when I used 302GBs in the month of January . Since then I calmed down and havent went over 200GBs. I only joined this forum to say Congrats man. You topped me!

Oh and I'm on Verizon unlimited plan and never been throttled. Rooted my phone (galaxy s4) and prevents me from being throttled.

can you get me some info? I had a work around but it doesn't work anymore.

I had 536 gb 2 months ago. Now I'm being throttled hard core.

I can't do ****.

 

[rjkgr]

i have wifi at work and home and only time i use data is when im out with friends or driving home so at most 1 gb

 

[FatIdol]

Using nearly 2 GB per month, sending emails and upgrading software that I have installed already. These things take that much of data usage.

The problem with work wifi for me is that in order to use it I have to sign in--which means any web usage on my iPhone can be monitored at that point. No thanks. I'll log in to update apps and probably use it to update to iOS7--but that's it.

Generally, I stick with LTE unless I'm at home--but then I tend not to use my iPhone to browse the web or stream.

 

[DcGamer05]

Not much.. lol

Mostly lunchtime, and perhaps the occasional facebook check.

hahah okay same thing for me.. but i mean you cant use that much data.. right?

 

[cmichaelb]

Here's my usage with my AT&T unlimited data plan. I'd be SOL if I didn't have unlimited data lol.

Running speed tests uses A LOT OF DATA. That and having Spotify on high quality.

Wow. I thought I used a lot of data, I'm an amateur apparently.

OP - I'm on a grandfathered in 'unlimited' plan which means when i hit 3GB they slow me down. I hit that once in 4 years.

How in the world do you guys use that much data on a phone? I'm curious.....and impressed....
