Mobile phones and internet usage, how do you know ?
Ive just changed my mobile phone plan to include unlimited internet usage, Vodafone said it has a limit of i think 512mb per day.
What i want to know is the following.
1. How do you know how much data you are using when your connected to the internet ? As an example, lets say i was listening to some sports commentary on my phone via an internet website for an 80 mins game, roughly how much date would that count as ?
2. Is 512mb per day enough ? It says unlimited internet access but they say your limit is 512mb per day.
Obviously you don`t want to be downloading music files straight to your phone and stuff like that, any info you can give us on internet usage would be appreciated. As i said above, i`m with Vodafone.
Its just i`m not familiar with this as ive never really used the internet much via my mobile but i plan to use it a lot more from now on.

Just to say 512 mb is 8+ albums of music.

If that was on O2 though it would not be part of your unlimited data as it is within the UK only (unless you have international roaming add ons).
As said above, the out of bundle/bolt on charges for data in the USA are £6 per MB, and is £7000 for jods usage.

The indian chap i was speaking too must have got his lines fluffed, i asked him what does unlimited internet usage mean. He said its unlimited but they have a fair usage policy which means its restricted to 512mb but you probably wouldn`t be charged if you went over that.
With being fairly new to this i asked him is that 512mb a day, he said yes. lol

So... Vodafone iPhone deal;
75 mins, 250 texts, 1GB + wi-fi - 24 month, £25
(love that... free wi-fi...FFS!)
Anyways... 1 Gig download per month, and then the website states;
Browsing the Mobile internet and data usage.... 50p per day
http://shop.vodafone.co.uk/shop/pric...37&serverName=
So like the OP. What's up? After 1gig does it stop the browsing, or does it charge without letting me know?

It will keep charging you till you can't pay the bill. Your never gonna use 1gig a month with a mobile phone browsing the web. I reckon reading the paper everyday at work on my phone plus all my emails and general browsing of the web will probs use 200mb a month. To go over this you haver to download stuff, use your phone as a modem or browse data intensive sites such as youtube etc. I'm with t mobile and it has a fair useage of 3gig and I doubt I could ever come close to that on a mobile phone, as for my home network I can do 100gig in a day

I bet that's your phones usage since you got it, not just in america..?
To download a gigabyte you would have had to be on line constantly, watching mobile iplayer etcetc.
