How much monthly data do you need?

[takeshi74]

I travel more or work but mostly will use it for web, email, local music, etc. one thing I plan on using a few times a week is the navigation feature in ios6. Would 2gb be enough, will 4gb even be enough?

As with any question on usage you need to track your own usage to answer that question. Two different people could have the usage you describe and have very different actual data usage.

Just wait until people start finding out how much data they use with LTE on the next iphone.

The "LTE uses more data" meme that's being parroted is nonsense. Usage varies by person. LTE's faster but it doesn't automatically use more data.

2GB or more occasionally.

I use a lot of data on my phone. I'm on sprint so it's unlimited. I steam radio in the car, at work and at the gym. Watch a lot of YouTube etc. if I had a limit I would have a huge bill.....

I was just giving my opinion. Is that ok with you or I cant state anything anyone else posted in this thread or site in general?

Your opinion is fine, just don't bash my response when you parroted what I said.

If you want to contribute a unique perspective (which you did not do), feel free.

We're all ears. If you are basically saying "I agree" or "+1", then just use the button below. Amusingly, the "-1" button has been abolished here.

Nobody is saying it automatically uses more data, but anybody with common sense is saying that people will use more data with a faster connection. Hmmmmm... Do people use more data these days than they did back in the 90's on dialup connection?

Hey guess what?

Just dissagreed with the nonsense you posted making it sound like on demand GPS apps are better.

Most users will want to use more data when it's faster. Even the people who think "oh, i only use the phone for email". A lot of users will even find their phone is faster than their WiFi connection.

Also, if you're worried about data in LTE, don't run speed tests. The speed test runs about 10 seconds or so, and when you get 30 down and 15 up, that's like 200 Mb per test.
