would anybody know what siri's data consumption is? i only have 500mb of data monthly and would using siri consume a lot of data? or maybe someone can monitor their data consumption once they receive their 4s.
 
I don't think you can know the data consumption per say but its likely very very low. It sends a low bit rate version of the text you speak/dictate to the servers for processing and then back. We are probably talking a few K. Thats how nuance does it and this is their technology.
 
Unfortunately I got on AT&T after they did away with the unlimited so i'm stuck with the 2GB plan... hopefully it doesn't use a lot because I always come close to my monthly limit haha

I'd say it wouldn't be more than 10mb a month, and thats with a lot of usage.

That's not bad at all...I've been thinking if I would actually use Siri and while it will take a little while to get used to using it in public (don't want to look stupid talking to my phone) I actually think ill succumb to using it in my daily life
