I didn’t think that much as a fairly light user and mostly at home on wifi. But when I was looking at new contracts I checked and was close to 1gb. Moved from O2 to Three and best thing I ever did. I get decent 3G even out in the sticks where I live (I did check for mast locations) and using my iphone5 I test it fast if not faster than my wifi when browsing.

It’s nice not to have to worry about it and the average persons usage is only going up. I would rather have unlimited data than minutes / txt especially as I use iMessage a lot.

If you are data intensive, want a fast network and have a 3 mast near you then I would thoroughly recommend moving. Only minor issue I have noticed so far is the lack of visual VM on iphone is not supported but that is something cosmetic I can live with (I just get a txt when someone leaves me a VM).

I use three network and have downloaded an app called libon for the visual voicemail works a treat and it's free for basic usage..

I think I get 500mb and very rarly get a text saying I've used it all up.
with O2 if you use your limit they just slow it down rather then stop it completly. Do the others do this?

My early impressions of the Samsung Galaxy S3 are very good, the quality of the screen is amazing, the amount this phone can do is impressive to say the least and i havn't really scratched the surface with it yet.

i can second this

vodafone suits me for work purposes though 750mb a month, use about 400mb of it. pc at office and home and i drive to and from work, so no real surfing required.

I get 1gb per month and whilst I don't go over it I get close every month. Just browsing usually, download the odd app and some sat nav.

I don't use the phone Internet at home or when I do it's linked to wifi.
I use it at work for my personal Internet use, I can use my PC but I know work can monitor my usage so I just don't bother really.
