Radio Apps

For those of you who use radio applications such as Pandora when NOT connected to WiFi:

Does it take a huge chunk out of your data?

I have 1GIG free a month and I never come close to using half of it, but if I were to use a radio app of my 3G network, would I go way over my limit?

I think you'd have to be listening for hours before you blew your cap. Here's an idea: Reset your cell usage stats. For a few days, when not connected to WiFi, let Pandora music be the only thing using your data. Figure out the average amount of data used per minute of listening to radio.

I stream audio at work every day for several hours (TuneIn Radio, fantastic app) and usually I end up using 2-3 GB per month just on that.
