depending on the streaming quality.
for a 64kb/s of streaming you get: 230400kb/h ~ 225Mb/h ~ 0.219gb/h
for a 32kb/s of streaming you get: 115200kb/h ~ 112Mb/h ~ 0.110gb/h

So, if you never used any other data, in 10 hours @ 64kb/s or 20 hours @ 32kb/s you would have used over 2gb of data for the month and incurred and overage charge, if you didn't have the unlimited plan or maybe a 5gb plan. Just be aware of the cost involved and don't get a "surprise" when you get your bill.

yes it will cost $ but I think that radio, or tv, or videos apps i mean anything that stream are set on a way that when on 3g or edge they have restrictions to not stream over 32kb/s or 64kb/s. Depend on each applications. But when I know I don't have the unlimited plan, I wouldn't dare streaming over edge or 3G. Only wifi.
