How much data do you generally use a month?

Hi everybody. So i am another guy who's getting the iphone 5 at a discount price.. .
I know they are gonna take my unlimmited data away, and i'll be force to choose the 2GB/$30 a moth, so i was curious too know how much data do i use per month, if 2GB was enough for me. It seems like it, i use 500 MB average a month. But having LTE means more speed, more data, so hopefully 2GB will cover my needs. How about you guys? how much data do you use a month?

My usage patterns vary, but 1-5GB a month is normal for me.
Note that people who participate on forums may not be a good representation of the general population.  We tend to use our mobile technology so much that we are on our carriers' forums.
Also more likely to use our mobile data plan to access those forums. I know I do.
As for usage. 2-6 GB per month depending how much I use it.

  • How much data does Apple TV use?

    I am experiencing a large amount of data usage and cannot determine what the culprit is.  I am approaching my cap of data allowance on a regular basis.  Does anyone know how much data the Apple TV uses?  I realize it depends on what you are streaming.  I primarily stream Netflix (set on the lowest data rate)
    Thanks

    I found this answer on NetFlix's blog sometime last year:
    In the USA you have 3 video quality options: good quality, better quality, and best quality. Here is how much bandwidth they each use:
    Good quality (up to 0.3 GB per hour)
    Better quality (up to 0.7 GB per hour)
    Best quality (up to 1 GB per hour, or up to 2.3 GB per hour for HD)
    Depending on how many movies you watch this could have a huge impact on your monthly usage...obviously your ISP wants you to watch its own movies.

  • How much data does google maps use

    how much data does google maos use ?

    That question has a lot of variables. If you are just looking up an address it should not using very much. If you are using  it for an 8 hour drive it will use quite a bit.

  • How can i determine how much data an app is using

    on an iphone5, how can i determine how much data an app is using and or which apps are the biggest data users?  do all apps always use wifi when a wifi is connected or do some apps still use cellular data even if wifi is connected?

    Try Settings > General > Usage > Storage > check here.
    To test if app is using cellular data instead of Wi-Fi, switch Airplane mode: ON and switch Wi-Fi: ON manually.

  • How much data does Assisted GPS use

    Guys
    I'm planning a trip into Europe, we will of course be taking a TomTom, but in the event that I need OVI maps, could you tell me how much data AGPS uses.
    O2 charge £6.00 per mb, so I don't want to come home and find a massive bill waiting for me.

    Usually when I try to use it, I use about 6-15mb per fix. It doesnt use A-GPS again after getting a fix unless satellite signals fail.

  • How much data does a call use over 3G?

    Does anyone know how much data a call uses when using 3G?
    For example if I made a 10min call over 3G is there an easy way to estimate how much data it would use?

    I'd check my balance, make a call, then check the balance again. That should give a fair indication.
    I'm a light user and find Tesco's SIM-only deal (500mins, 500MB, 500texts) is way more than adequate for my basic mobile needs for a tenner a month. Worth considering.

  • Can i view how much data my ipad has used?

    Altho I am on an unlimited internet package I am shocked at the daily usage figures.  Especially as I only watch about an hour of streamed TV per day.
    I'd like to see how much data streaming is happening on my daughter's iPad mini - right before I go and find a method to time restrict the device!
    Thanks in advance
    TC

    Settings>Cellular/Mobile
    Here you can check the amount of data being used. I would suggest to reset the statistics (bottom of the page) then monitor the usage.

  • How much data did you use on day #1?

    Just to get some perspective on how much people are using....
    How much have you used so far?
    What have you been doing to use data? Downloading apps, surfing the 'net, YouTube, hotspot, facetime, etc...
    I've used approximately 1.2mb: 360kb sent, 917kb received. I pre-loaded my apps in iTunes, so this was mostly web surfing & using apps. This was since about noon yesterday.

    I do use Pandora a ton on my iPad with wifi so I see what you mean when using it on 3G... I guess you have a point... Certain Apps will drain data... Just maybe the everyday internet browser consumer would be ok though
    a lot of people would be ok. the problem that the carriers run in to are the average user that doesn't even know how to check the data usage. they have their email, facebook, weather, etc, etc constantly syncing and then download a movie or something....and before they know it they are at 3 gigs and storm into the store, irate, when they see their overage fees....lol

  • How much data does MobileHot Spot use? Pandora?

    I use mobile hotspot when i am in my room. Not much.. usually very quickly. Data? and I use Pandora while driving.. data?

    There is no answer to your question.  Every piece of data on the internet is different, you need to monitor your usage and understand what is going on through trial and error.
    The best tool that is available is a Data Calculator:

    Please note that the Data Calculator is an estimation tool and should not be depended or relyed on for real world results.

  • How much data does Apple Maps use?

    I used maps for 15-20 minutes and it used 300 MB of network data.  Looking for an answer because I only get 2GB per month and I wasted almost 20% of it in less than a half hour.

    I guess it is possible I had satellite view on.  I just used whatever was default and I got that huge data charge.  I have just been avoiding maps since and using everything else normally so it has to be maps that was my big problem.  Thanks for the response!

  • How much data can you store on 32G iPhone?

    How many movies, tunes, etc. can be stored on a 32G Iphone?

    I have a 16 GB iPhone. Currently it shows 13.73 GB capacity
    Audio 4.6 GB
    Photos 3.6 GB
    Apps 0.81 GB
    Books 0.04 GB
    Other 1.34 GB
    Free 3.3 GB
    The Audio is made up of 933 items. In my case most of those are classical pieces which tend to be long then other types of music. Hence the reason I hedged my answer on my first reply.

  • How can i see how large an app is and how much data is stored

    In ios7 I could select an app and see it's size and how much data is stored in using it on my iPhone.
    I can't seem to locate that option in ios8.1
    to refresh and app I had the option of deleting it and reinstalling before based on the information held by the app.
    is this clear?
    MyFitnessPal is taking a long time to load, thought I would see how large the app is and how much info is stored
    but as I've redundantly stated here I can't find that option in my phone now.
    thanks in advance for any help you can offer
    iPhone 5 iOS8.1

    For reference in iOS 7 it is under Settings app > General > Usage.
    According to the manual iOS 8 is the same…
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
    (page 177)
    Usage information
    View cellular usage. Go to Settings > Cellular. See Cellular settings on page 179. View other usage information. Go to Settings > General > Usage to:
    Display battery level as a percentage
    See Battery Usage, including the elapsed time since iPhone has been charged and usage by app
    View overall storage availability and storage used per app
    View and manage iCloud storage
    For me it take a few seconds to load, you may find that the app is being slow to open if it is still downloading some data for it's own caches etc. Try to ensure it has a good internet connection. Obviously it could just be that the service in question is also having issues, so consult their support too.

    I will try that. Thank you.  I am hoping to buy a wifi hotspot, but wondered what type of data plan I should get if I were to use it consistantly for 8 hours a day (only on saturdays and sundays).  A great tool for work & presentations!!
    It will use minimal internet bandwidth unless your content is streaming from web>iPad>AppleTV. 
    Local network comms for content already on the iPad (eg presentations) will not generally use internet bandwidth apart from protected iTunes material that requires brief internet authorisation.

  • How much data is used when using facetime over 4g

    How much data is used when using facetime over 4g. Say a 10 min call over facetime, will it use few MB or more.
    Thanks,
    Manish

    It depends on how long you are on line.  What you could do is reset your data usage in settings/general/ usage and then start your FaceTime session and check usage after your session
