How much data do you use on your smart phone?

[cyberknight]

None,
if i want to download anything i use home wifi .
The only real reason i have a smartphone is maps in case i get lost .

Good idea.I keep getting lost trying to tweak my alternative commute route.

I use under the 1gb I pay for each month. I'm careful not to download or stream anything when I'm not on WiFi though. Calls and texts, and Spotify Family, are free, and I pay c.£16 a month.

Did she give you any megabytes?

Yes, she did, AND she sowed me how to find the hotspot too

 

[GrumpyGregry]

Same here - but have you spotted that they only allow 5GB per month for tethering?

Not hit that yet so far.... but might do in sthlm as the wifi is better in cph. I do have a local dongle in case of emergency.

Not much.I don't spend all day staring at my phone.

58mb last week apparently.I did watch something on UTube which took a lot of that up.Also checking footee scores.



Settings->DATA USAGE

Depends what phone you've got I guess.

I don't spend all day staring at my phone. I spend all day working.


'Cept when I'm in here

Good grief, why do you want to kill @Lonestar? Google's bicycle routing is often extremely hazardous!

I understood about 1 word in 10 of the last 43 post's

Less than 1gb a month as I can connect to wifi pretty much everywhere I go.

At home mine automatically switches to wifi and per month that's close on 6GB.
Once out the house I've 4Gb data per month and I pretty much max that out mainly streaming music from my NAS at home,, coupled to all lthe usual web/emails etc.

I don't use any WIFI away from home for security reasons. Read the T&Cs of those 'free ones'

I just ride/run where the lines go on the map. If that takes me onto an inhospitable road I reroute myself. Never use routing. Not mythang.

But I do like wifi on aeroplanes, thobut. At 35,0000 feet. Like right now. Get a buzz from it.
