How Much Cellphone Data Do You Use?
Topic 18301 | Page 1
Really depends on how much you use it. I average about 8gigs a month. That's basically weather, fb, company apps, truckerpath, and maybe a couple of hours of streaming video to catch up with Supernatural. If you're a gamer, or are seriously addicted to online video then youll be getting close to that 16.
On average, between 20-25 GB a month. Most of my downtime that I'm awake for I spend either on the internet or YouTube. Some might call me an internet junkie, but it's not like I'm addicted. It's totally cool, and I could quit anytime I wanted to and NO DONT TAKE IT AWAY I NEED THAT!
So, if you likely to watch streaming movies, YouTube videos, play online games,.and surf the Web, get the unlimited. Ive chewed through 70GB in a months time before. The unlimited plan is $80, so it has good value.
Granted, that 70GB of data was watching movies in HD. If you reduce the video quality, you reduce the bandwidth you use.

I burn through around 50 a month, but luckily netflix/Amazon prime/youtube/pandora all stream free on my carrier so my "charged" data usage is down to 2gs a month.
Josh and Sambo, what carriers do you use? Those are much better deals than I'm getting.

hello, I am not sure my how much cellphone data I would need while I am over the road. How much data do you use while over the road? My current data plan is 16 gigs of data with Verizon. I was reading up that Verizon is the best cellphone provider to get while on the road. The reason why I ask is because Verizon is going to have unlimited data plan back again and might get it if I need more data.
