So how much data are you using?

[Medic3166]

Just curious how much everyone uses their iPhones...

When I had my HTC Incredible, I'd average around 2gb a month.

I just checked my iPhone data usage after a week of having it in my hands... 5.3gb . Good thing for the unlimited data...

I think the biggest data hog right now is Netflix, I streamed two full length movies and a bunch of Family Guy episodes at work over the past few days.

after the first month or two of really eating up the data,aroung 5-6mb..
now it has leveled out at right @4mb a month...thank goodness for unlimited!!!!!!

I'm guessing you mean GB (Gigabyte)

because 4mb (microbit) wouldn't even cover a single letter.

Comment: I know I'm going out on a limb to write this, but..... streaming movies onto a smartphone....?? There's always the Internet to TV option, and you have a bigger screen that way! This huge bandwidth usage is a major reason that networks like ATT, Verizon, etc., are having such a tough time with service and why customers are having cellular issues. Perhaps using wi-fi for downloading HUGE items would help all of us......??

And..... Family Guy???

OK, off my soapbox. Sorry if I got carried away.

I was at work in one of our remote field offices... with no computer, no WiFi, and basic cable. You can only watch 3am infomercials so many times... I'm a Paramedic; I've had plenty of shifts where we have zero calls in a 12 hour period, and we aren't allowed to sleep on the job. Netflix has an app... Why not use it?

I hear ya, Medic.... In those cases, yes. I'm thinking those who d/l gigabytes of data who nevertheless have accessibility to broadband or wi-fi just because they can... to watch their "Family Guy" type of tripe.

Oh I know. Any time I'm near a WiFi spot, I'll connect to it. I'd rather use the quicker signal anyway...

So can I find this info on my phone? I see usage in settings but it is showing time usage and cell data, would the cell data be it? I have the 1g plan. I assumed I'd have to wait for a bill!
