How much data do you use?

[Josquius]

This is a poll actually created for a purpose. I'm looking into getting a new phone contract now I'm back in the UK but am unsure how big a plan I actually  need. As part of my research; how much do you use?

2GB last month. I mostly use my phone to surf the web and listen to Spotify when I'm commuting or on the go, so 1-2 hours per day (at home I'm on WiFi).

1 Gb (of which I tend to use 750-850 mb every month). But I mostly use it for messaging apps, and occasional internet browsing while on the subway or whatever. I don't do much data intensive stuff like Spotify or watching videos unless I'm on wifi.

I don't have a contract on my iphone.  I buy US$15 prepaid phone cards good for 6 months.  The iphone is used for making phone calls only.

[Ed Anger]

I'm using a flip phone.

[garbon]

My work phone says 2.6GB for current period.

[The Brain]

I don't know. I ain't paying for it.

[sbr]

Don't get a new phone contract, do you want to be tied into recurring payments for the next 24 months ?

Especially as now there are some really competative PAYG deals about.

Was just talking to a woman here at work;  just found out that her teenage daughter burned up 3GB in data and 9,000 texts in July.

9,000 texts.  Pick up the fucking phone already.

Makes you wonder exactly how many characters that is.

1g is fine if you're somewhat conservative about data usage. you should only need more than 2g if you plan to frequently stream music or videos

That's a small month for my kids.

Jackson is known for topping 25,000 texts/month. Riley does more.

Traditionally I've used old too up phones and stuck to the same 5 pounds of credit for months if not years.
In japan though I learned the wonder of smartphones. Having the internet everywhere is great.
