Internet Data Usage

What are y'all doing with your phones? - Netflix...one movie has to be over 200mb...no?

I have grandfathered unlimited with At&t and consistantly use about 2.5gb/month. How do you use less then 500mb per month?!

Because when I'm streaming movies or music, I'm doing it on wifi! Really, you're streaming movies over cellular data? No wonder your data use is high.

I was really also relating to the OP in that if you are careful what you're doing and when you are streaming that it's entirely possible to not use a massive amount of data per month.

I mean I guess it could depend on your location but there are so many wifi hotspots in my local area that I can nearly always use wifi.
 
Sadly, here in Mexico we don't have so many hotspots. I doubt you can use Google Voice here as well, normally that kind of services are only available in the USA. Anyways, I'm getting my phone by June or July, I'll let you know my data usage by then.
 
Hi! I'm about to buy a Windows Phone, but I want to know if there is an app that can measure my data usage.

That information will make me choose either one plan or another. One plan gives me 250mb with a lot of minutes and messages, but If I exceed the limit they will charge me the extra Kb. The other plan gives me unlimited internet (with a policy that reduces my speed to 2G after 500mb), but I only get 60 minutes and 5 messages (which I always exceed).

The first plan seems better for me, but I need to control my data usage so I don't exceed the 250mb mark. Is there any way that I can measure that?

If you'll be soon getting a Nokia phone. Nokia is planning on releasing a Nokia Usage Monitor which tracks many things including phone, SMS and Data on a monthly basis so as to avoid overage charges.

Those are good news! Yeah I'm getting a Lumia 710, Nokia is doing a great job with updates and exclusive apps.

BTW, my carrier plans have changed. Before, we had Unlimited Internet with speed lowering at 500mb to EDGE. Now we have only 3GB but with no speed lowering. After the 3GB they charge you the extra MB. Seems better.
