Thread: What is your monthly data usage on smartphone?

  1. #1

    Smile What is your monthly data usage on smartphone?

    What is your monthly data usage on your smartphone?

    I do have Wifi at home - so will do most of my downloads /upgrades at home.

    My current on-phone use :
    Whattsap
    Twitter
    Facebook
    news (24/fox/etc)
    3/4 email accounts
    occasional browsing

    currently have BB but want to move without taking out a homeloan for data cost.

    About 120meg Simply because I am afraid of the OOB shark.
    Have wifi at work, had wifi at home.
    Almost never use the phone at home though simply because the signal sucks and I have no wi-fi there any more.

    Heres my stats starting at 1st July till now (Samsung Galaxy S3) I have Wifi at home, no wifi at work:

    Mobile data:55.84 MB
    Wifi: 1.67Gb

    On mobile my top three apps:
    Seesmic (twitter) 8.81Mb
    Fb: 7.86 Mb
    Opera Mini: 5.29Mn

    On Wifi my top three apps:
    Dropbox: 613Mb
    BeyondPod: 70.1Mb
    Google Play Store: 59.94Mb

    All my pics and video clips on my phone are synced to drop box when i connect to wifi. I don't use too much data while at work.

    Whether you go iOS or Android might affect your data usage. I think iOS uses more - cant say for sure. Maybe someone who has had both devices can comment.

    I used to use on average about 250MB a month; connected to WiFi at home and at work most of the time.

    Since I've switched over to FNBConnect 3G, I don't even monitor data usage because my data usage gets charged on a pay-as-you-use basis at something like 59c/MB with the first 50MB free.

    About 250MB/month, but that'll come down when I get DSL at my flat.

    Less than 30MB in a month, I could use more than that, but R49 for 100MB is too expensive. I use for Facebook, 1 or 2 song downloads, E-mail and download 1 or 2 apps.
