How much data do things use?
I'm thinking of getting an iPhone 5 and I've never had a smartphone before. I would probly get the 2gb, but about how much data do these things use:
Watching a 5 minute video:
Sending a text message
Having a 5 minute phone call
Sending or sharing videos
Taking a picture or video
Phone call - Zero, thats not the data plan.
Any text whether app or msg'ing - Meaningless amount
Video - Streaming… Alot, thats the #1 thing by far.
Taking a picture or video - None, thats not data exchange just taking it.
The bottom line is if you don't watch alot of online video then you won't need a high data plan.
- Why does my iphone use data over night when cellular data is turned off? Every night I turn off cellular data and leave the iPhone on and one day I wake up and check my data manager and see i have already used 25 MB please help!
- When you have Wi-Fi and cellular data on at the same time, does it use cellular data? If I keep my cellular data on and also have my iPhone connected to Wi-Fi, will it use any of my cellular data?
- Iphone 6. Data and Wi-Fi turned on. Will apps only run on data? Or, will it use Wi-Fi when available? It seems i'm burning through data. I tried turning off data to an app i was using when i had Wi-Fi while cannected to Wi-Fi and continually received a message to ho to settings>Cellular>Cellular Data>Use cellular data for>then a selection of aps like safari, google maps, ap store… With cellular data turned off or if just the app chosen not to use data. I was unable to access when connected to Wi-Fi.
- IPhone 5 data usage. How much data will I need for certain apps? If I'm sending around 15-20 tweets a day, refreshing my twitter feed frequently about once every 10-15 mins & refreshing an Instagram feed around once an hour will 250MB's data be enough for a month? I won't be posting any photo's on Instagram or Twitter when I'm away from Wi-Fi. I'll also be receiving about about 10 emails a day without attachments?
