How much usuage do you get with AT&T with the $25 plan?

Question

Just used all our AT&T usuage plan in 6 days so now have converted to the larger plan.  Don't know how much usuage we would get with 2GB. Thank you. Does anyone know and any tips on using it?

Answer 1

Primarily, do not stream!  No (constant) Youtube, no Pandora, no Spotify, no Netflix.  A few minutes here and there are fine, but if you're listening to Pandora all day at work everyday, that is likely why you burned through your data.  Use streaming only on Wi-Fi.
Most often recommended: turn off cellular.  Use Wi-Fi as often as you can, then turn on celluar manually only when necessary.  This will prevent accidentally using up your data with things like your email client getting new mail continuously, but for some reason, you get disconnected from Wi-Fi.  This is what I do and while it sounds inconvinient, for me it's better to not have to worry about using data accidentally.
To illustrate, I stream from a radio station for about two hours a day, five days a week, during my commute (on the road so no Wi-Fi, and poor FM reception) and I end up using around 700MB a month.  That is audio only, so if I were using a video streaming app like StreamToMe, I can imagine easily using 20+GB per month with my usage habits.
