Just wanted to start off by wishing everyone all the best for 2013.

I was just curious as to how much data people are using on average per month on their phone, its just so i can haggle with my provider if i think i'm going to need more. Basically they have given me 1GB per month with my new plan.

I intend to use the phone for listening to the radio occasionally, some sat nav, streaming which i know eats data and all the usual stuff you do on the move.

I'd be interested to hear how much data people are using per month.

About 20meg

I just leach of everyone's WiFi hotspots

Just as well as the 3G coverage round here is pretty iffy.

I'm on a low contract so only have 100mb per month as don't use it at work. Rest of time use wifi at home. You'll be able to take over the world with 1gb! :

mobile BB rates and quantity's are an expensive joke!
I get an allowance of 1Gig and pay extra for another 1 gig
and i still run over most months.
and that's just browsing in breaks at work and streaming the odd podcast
i don't even think of streaming video it is pathetic really.

About a Gb a month, sometimes a bit more sometimes a bit less.

I get 750mb on my o2 contract. Usually have to buy an extra 750mb as a £6 bolt on every month. So about 1.5gb.

wesleeburns-2009

I easily use 1 gb
fb,eBay,emails,q
I think things like radio and utube kill your data

If you got a iPhone download onavo from App Store Srinks is data etc

I spend most of my time with the phone tethered to wifi though.

nik52wrx

I get 500 too and use 100 max.
At work I use my computer, at home laptop/iPad so very rarely use my phone for surfing etc, screens too small.

I have a 1g limit and use it up in about three weeks. It does not help that since I got an I****phone it will not connect to 90% of wireless netwroks so I have to use data for almost everything.

The wife and daughter have 'unlimited Data' .... wife pays £10 a month for that, plus 5000 texts and something like 500 minutes, she got a new Samsung Smartphone thrown in too!

I tether my laptop to her phone when away on holiday - relaible free internet!!

I used to be on giffgaff unlimited internet and could easily use 3 or 4 gigs a month streaming tv on tv catchup at work on a night shift. These days though i rarely use more than 100mb a month.

Hysteria1983

Vodafone told me via text that I used 674MB out of my 1024MB data.

PaulC72

mines unlimited so I have no idea, I probably use more wifi than anything though.

Don't use anything on the phone as its too small, but get through 3 gig a month with the iPad on giffgaff , usually mostly using Skype to talk to the wife and kids while I'm away at work

Hysteria1983

Mine is unlimited, but thats still a maximum of 1024MB ... Daft.

None ! £10/m contract for ??? minutes and 200 txts. Never go over, never bolt-on or top-up. Use WiFi at home or in cafes etc, apart from that I don't need to be connected all the time, and don't want to be. I prefer to have some time during the day when I am not available, even turning the phone off if I am certain the family is safe. It used to be that if you were out of the office you could have a bit of a break, but now people are obsessed with working every minute of the day. Get a foofing life, and a real one, not a cyber one !

I use loads as there is an option in settings to show you how much you use, I dont boher with wifi and have internet radio on all the time and watch Neflix. So usually about 3gig a month but can be more if I tether a laptop somewhere.

40-50gigs mostly downloading movies etc

PaulC72

ah yes the unlimited by the dictionary term is actually capped.

Had that one with 3 before I moved my daughter from them £90 bill which they wrote off as I took them to task on the words unlimited and said I would happily goto court with the explanation of what unlimited is by definition. They backed down.

DYK

Just had a look on mine 1st-30 Nov i used 7.90gb,1st-31 Dec i used 4.74gb

It seems to be a mixed bag, some don't use much where as others use a load.

I just checked my plan that ive signed up for, i spoke to a girl at Vodafone and she said its 2GB data a month where as the guy who took my order said 1GB, i'll take her world for it

Vodafone don't do unlimited data, i tried to do a bit of haggling with her to get unlimited, i said i'll even nip round and do her hoovering for a week if she can get me unlimited data, didn't work as she wanted the dishes and ironing doing as well.

i seem to be using between 500meg and 1.5gig

DYK

Well does it have to be vodafone,if they can't give you what you want,find someone that will.
Why i went from 02 and got the one plan on 3,i know i use internet a lot on the move,plus i use tethering for my laptop and is no extra charge....

It didn't have to be vodafone but they have been pretty good and ive been with them for a while, i had set myself a budget of £30 per month for a new deal, i couldn't find unlimited data for that amount that actually meant unlimited data.

I'm pretty happy with what i got for £28 after a bit of haggling.

Rob, you will never use 1gig on Vodafone never mind 2gig as their data network is terrible. I found when I did get a connection every third page would time out.
