Getting an iPhone 5, is 500MB of data enough?
Getting iPhone 5 on a plan soon and the plan includes 500MB of data.
I'm pretty much always connected to some sort of Wi-Fi (home & work mostly) but a few times a day I update my emails & instagram, send a couple of emails a week and upload a few photos to social networking sites. (Don't have Facebook). Will 500mb be enough?
Most likely. My wife and I have a shared 1GB plan, she with her iPhone 5 and I with my Galaxy Nexus, also with Wi-Fi connections at home and at work, so with the occasional use for checking email, checking in on Yelp, and the occasional photo upload, as well as occasional use of Google Maps Navigation, we usually stay well under our limit.
Try it and keep an eye on your data usage as your first month progresses and, if necessary, I'm sure you can upgrade to a 1GB plan for not much more per month.
Hope that helps!
For sure it is. I have 2GB of data and hardly use it all. The only way to use 2GB is by watching videos. You can still watch videos with 500MB but not many unless you opt for low quality. Checking emails and surfing the web doesn't take that much data.
- Would 500mb data be enough for me? - 1 I just bought an iPhone 4 and I'm looking into getting Verizon. I'm not sure if 500 mb will be enough for me. I get on Facebook daily and I use twitter instagram ifunny and might even browse some web pages. I might use the iMessage and FaceTime features as well. I don't know how often I would use those. And I have Wi-Fi at home. But would this be enough based on your understanding? Please let me know.

- Is 500mb of data enough for these apps on my iPhone? I pretty much just want enough to use kik, instagram, and twitter. A tmobile plan would give me 500mb a month but no overage charges so does that mean I can go up too 2, 000 mb a month without any charges? Ty
- Is 500mb of data enough for the iPhone 4s? I'm looking at plans that I recently bought for my iPhone 4s and a plan that I like includes 500 mb of data. I know that data is for browsing on the internet, but how much is 500mb of data? Is it more than enough or too less? I'll most likely just be on YouTube, Facebook, email, and Google on my phone. Will it be enough?
