How much data do you use?

[mongers]

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?

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.

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.

Which doesn't contradict what I said, there are now some good payg data-plans out there.

I've never heard of those. Wonder how that works. Hmm.

That's a small month for my kids.

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

1,000 a day? How is that even possible?

I'd say that's stupid, but I don't have kids.

[Eddie Teach]

You used to be one though, so judge away.

[garbon]

I can't text that much. Hurts my hands.

[Admiral Yi]

That's why I tell everyone to buy telecom stock.

I get annoyed when I'm out somewhere looking up something on my phone and some old person makes a comment about me "textin'".  Like that's the only goddamned thing you can do with a phone.

I'm on one too, I didn't want to tie myself either and the prices are really competitive; surely there are some available in the UK.

Yes, I think Tyr will have to do a little research/legwork himself. :gasp:

I confess, I cannot abide all the hordes of youngsters, head bent, glued to their phone, bumping into everyone & waiting to see their lives validated through the next text msg.

And you can't even make eye contact with cute boys anymore!

I sure as shit would've have been sending 25,000 texts a month.

I'd be racking up 1-900 calls.

[Grey Fox]

I have a 400mb plan but I've never passed 300 usage, my typical month is under 200. I don't use my phone to surf much.

~6GB a month. Outside of work and during breaks, I use my phone a lot for reading, web browsing, e-mail, documentation, etc; not much video consumption or photo sharing, but plan to increase. Additionally, I rarely use WiFi so as to tax the cellular network and get my money's worth.   (unlimited data plan with Sprint)
