Not sure if i have enough usage for iphone

Hi, just bought an iphone 3gs - and im worried about it lol
i decided to connect to 3 and use the lowest plan ($39cap) that doesn't have much internet bandwidth (150mb). Will 150mb of data be enough to safely use my iphone with out exceeding its usage and being charged for additional usage?
im not sure as to how much internet the iphone uses without the user accessing additional content such as web, applications etc. im considering paying an extra $6 each month for 500mb of data cause im not feeling assured that im in the safe zone and discovering my iphone is causing me financial pain.
could i have some insight on this area - i need to know how much internet the iphone uses without me accessing various apps, such as hidden internet usage that my apps might access without me knowing, and whether im safe with 150mb. i was told that since i signed up to 24 month contract im not going to be able to get the additional 500mb plan, but since i signed up today i think there is a cooling off period which allows me to change but im not sure, going to go in tomorrow to see if i can make the change.
thanks for the help

It all depends on how much you'll use the iPhone for internet access. Personally, I use it frequently (work email, browsing with Safari, the Amazon.com app, etc.,) and I use 200-300 MB per month. My wife does not use her iPhone for much outside of email, weather, etc., occasional Internet browsing, and she uses 40-50 MB per month. So, you should be fine with 150 MB.
Hope that helps...

  • Why don't they put how much usage each update will take.  I am on broadband and not sure if I have enough GBs left to do an update.

    I have broadband and it just cost me $75 OVER my monthly bill to download Yosemite and the update for iphotos.  NOW, I have notice that it needs two more updates.  Why don't they tell us how much data will be used with an update so we can plan when and which updates to do now, and some later?  The old system they had, they did tell and I was able to ration out which ones to update over the months.

  • ITunes says i do not have enough space for iPhone...i do!

    I have recently upgraded to IOS5.  I have an iPad and a iPhone 4S.  At first, I was able to sync via wireless and by USB with no problem after the update.  Suddenly, itunes now will not complete my sync for my iphone due to not having enough space to fit my entire library.  The capacity bar in the summary page shows I have close to 10GB available, but the error message after an attemped sync says I need 4GB free.  BTW, I have not changed any of my settings nor have I added any new content. 
    To make matters even more interesting, itunes now cannot sync my iPad and asks me to restore from my back up.  When I do, it fails.  The same is with the iPad, no settings or content has been changed. 
    Hopefully someone may be able to shed light on this. 
    Thank you.

    I am having the EXACT same issue on the 3GS after upgrading to iOS 5.  Solved the backup issue by clicking "delete backup," and then it will just make a new backup next time you sync.  Need help with the space issue! I very clearly have space but it is trying to add all my stuff in.  Have tried this both with "sync all music" checked and "sync only checked items,"  also with "sync only checked music and playlists."  same issue each time. 

  • HT4847 my iphone storage is full and I do not have enough storage for upgrades or to take photos/videos, etc. My icloud is on for photos/videos. Can I safely delete them on my phone to make storage room knowing I can access them on my icloud?

    My iphone storage is full and I do not have enough storage for upgrades or to take more photos/videos, download apps, etc. I do have my photos/videos ON for icloud sync but not sure if I can safely delete them from my iphone to make room. And if I can delete them from my phone how do I access them on my icloud? I logged in for the first time and do not see where to access photos/videos?

    You can't just store photos on icloud.  They can be included as part of a backup or when using photo stream to sync photos from one device to another, but 1) photo stream keeps photos for up to 30 days after which they are deleted from the servers, and 2) never rely on a backup to icloud as a way of storing photos.  (When photos are deleted from the device, they are no longer on recent backups, and older backups get deleted in short time.)
    When it comes to photos, users should sync them to a computer for archiving.  Then they can delete the photos from the device, as the computer will have copies.
    Photos in backups on icloud cannot be viewed on icloud.

  • TS1702 I tried to download the upgrade, now it won't install and I can not access my documents. It said Vi did not have enough space for the upgrade so I made room but still no luck.

    I tried to download the upgrade, now it won't install and I can not access my documents. It said Vi did not have enough space for the upgrade so I made room but still no luck. If I delete the ap and reinstall I will lose my stuff. Any ideas? It won't open so I can email it to myself.

    What upgrade are you trying to install? Your profile shows iOS 5.1.1, which is the current max iOS.

  • I am trying to burn a dvd and it will not allow me to do this because it states that i do not have enough space for encoding disk. how do i free up space and from where?

    I am trying to burn a dvd and it will not allow me to do this because it states I do not have enough space for encoding. how do i free up space and from where?

    iDVD can only use your startup hard disk for the "scratch space" it needs for calculations during the encoding process.  25 GB is a good average requirement, but a large project (3 or 4 hours of content) might require more.
    To free up space, you will have to move items to an external hard drive and/or delete items you no longer want.
    Please note that iDVD can't use and external hard drive for this "scratch space".

    To be honest I'd be very tempted to ring Applecare and explain that prior to downloading iOS5 your iPod Touch worked perfectly however since downloading Apple's new iOS5 it's "bricked" therefore can they as a matter of decency try to help put things right warranty situation notwithstanding.  Afterall it does appear to be one of Apple's products that has broken your previously working iPod Touch.

    I didn't know that iTunes had a 64bit download. I have Windows 7 Home Premium with 64bit operation system. I downloaded the iTunes for 64bit and it seems to have corrected the problem. I haven't received the message yet since I did this.

  • HT204053 for some reason i have more than one apple id, not sure how, must have set one up ages ago and forgot about it. can i delete one, or merge them? how do i know im not going to lose info if i delete one account?

    You can neither merge or delete them. Pick one and stop using the other. If they both have purchases associated with them you will have to keep using both.

  • My backup hard drive does not have enough space for time machine to perform a back up even after erasing entire contents of bu hard drive

    My backup hard drive does not have enough space for time machine to perform a back up even after erasing entire contents of bu hard drive.  The hard drive has been in service for almost two years performing this function with no sign of failure.  How do I adjust time machine perameters?

    The only way to limit the size of the backup is to exclude data from the backup, which you can do in Time Machine preferences.
    If you use multiple browsers, have you tried clearing your browser caches? However, that's just a stop gap if it works. You either need to limit what you backup or get another drive.

  • I have been told my macbook does not have enough gb for Lion. and that i can not keep my mobile me mail without lion. so does this mean I have to drop mobile me and get another email address?

    I have been told my macbook does not have enough gb for Lion. and that i can not keep my mobile me mail without lion. so does this mean I have to drop mobile me and get another email address?

    You probably know that mobilme goes away in June this year. There are two ways to access your mail account on iCloud, either through Lion or via the web. Web access won't get you to all the benefits of iCloud but will allow you to get to Mail, Contacts, Calendar, and Find My iPhone.  See this FAQ: http://www.apple.com/mobileme/transition.html
    If you decide to go with Lion, the maximum memory you can install is 4GB, however the system will only use 3GB, which is enough to run Lion. Lion requires 2GB, however, some have not been satisfied with it's performance in 2GB. One source for memory is OWC at http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/MacBook/DDR2/
