GTKY: Mobile Data. How much do you use a month?

[joy]

Do you use mobile data? Yeah.

Is it unlimited? No.

How much do you use a month on average? < 2 GB between me and my husband. Usually under 1 GB unless we're out of town. Our plan just upgraded to 2 GB from 1 GB free of charge so I took it. We're usually on wi-fi.

How much have you used this month? I dunno. Verizon warns us when we get close to the limit. That's only happened once: Disney World in January.

Every time I hear a commercial on the radio for rollover data and such things, I wonder if there are really people who don't have unlimited data in 2015?

Mine is unlimited, I have no clue at all how much I use or have ever used. I even get unlimited roaming data so I just don't care. I use it all.

[♪♫choppinbroccoli♫♪]

Do you use mobile data? Yes
Is it unlimited? No. 2 GB. But I just logged on to Verizon and I had a note that they are upping it to 3 for no addition charge. WTF? Anyone else get this message?
How much do you use a month on average? Less than 2 GB.
How much have you used this month? 0.744 GB

97 GB?? Really? On one phone? This baffles me.

[piccyami]

Do you use mobile data? Yes
Is it unlimited? No.
How much do you use a month on average? We usually use around 300MB between the two of us.
How much have you used this month? I'm going to guess somewhere around 150MB. We just don't end up without wifi very often.

[moirin8]

Do you use mobile data? Yes

Is it unlimited? No
How much do you use a month on average? 5 gigs no problem. With wifi not as much. 2 or 3
How much have you used this month? Not very much at all. It just switched. New billing cycle.

I'm using it for my computer's internet using an app. Also DH and I skype for two hours every night. And Netflix. Lots of Netflix. 

Ohhhh! That makes hella sense now. Audio plus visual really eats up a lot of data. An unlimited plan is surely the way to go for that!

[treble]

Do you use mobile data?
Yep.
Is it unlimited?
Yeah. It's through work.
How much do you use a month on average?
Like 2-4GB.    
How much have you used this month? 1.38GB

[diamondsndaisies]

yes I get 2gb a month and I use at least 1.5 to close to 2 each month. I make sure I have a wifi connection in most of the places I am like, home, ILs and my parents house, the only restaurant in town, work etc.

Definitely the first thing I thought was, 'What's the catch? Why are they doing this? Have they been screwing me over and I didn't realize it?'

We went over our data (1 GB) in January because we were in Disney World.  No wi-fi and both of us on our phones a lot meant that we splurged.

Verizon texted me near the end of January to warn me that we were close to going over.  They asked if we wanted to upgrade to 2 GB (for a new monthly cost) or pay an overage fee (slightly more than upgrading).  I chose the fee because we've never ever gone over before and we had a valid reason for doing so that month.

Some time in February, Verizon texted me to ask if I wanted to upgrade to 2 GB of data/month for free.

Um.  Glad I waited!

[ghostmonkey]

Do you use mobile data? Duh
Is it unlimited? Until 2 weeks ago mine was.
How much do you use a month on average? The last 3 months DH and I combined have used on average .27 GB.
How much have you used this month? My tracker is at 59.9 MB. 12% 4 days in. Might be close.

Now I am wondering why I haven't been given a free upgrade. Damn you verizon. 

[heatherj9603]

We have the att 10 gig plan. We have 4 lines but two of those lines are dh's parents to help save them money. They never use any of the data. Typically we use 3 or 4 gigs a month. We might use more if we are traveling and using pandora. The only reason we have the 10gig plan is because it was cheaper than us paying for 2 gigs each separately. Plus his mom has an iPhone so she had to have data, whether she was using it or not. 

Eta: we pay 160 a month for 4 lines, 3 being iPhones.

I changed our plan, and then they gave us $15 off per smart phone line because we haven't upgraded since Jesus was a baby, and they tossed in another $10 off for my dad's line even though it was a brand new line.

I had it worked out where our bill would be the same adding him and then the next time I logged in they gave us $40 off every month. Thanks Verizon?

That could be why. I had an ancient alltel plan when data used to be unlimited and they made me switch my plan when I upgraded last year. I recently went to their single line discount plan that comes with 2GB so I suppose that's why. I'm only paying $78 a month after insurance and taxes and I get $25 check from work every month to supplement each month so I really have nothing to bitch about. 

[LadyNymeria]

Do you use mobile data? Yes
Is it unlimited? No
How much do you use a month on average? Our plan has 4GB to share between MH and I - we never hit the 4GB together so I definitely use less than 2GB a month. Really I could probably drop our plan to 2 or 3 GB a month.
How much have you used this month? My billing cycle just started today, so I looked at last month. I used 0.7GB.

[Rama]

Do you use mobile data? On occasion.
Is it unlimited? Nerp.
How much do you use a month on average? 300-600MB, mostly because my phone sometimes forgets to connect to wifi when I'm home.
How much have you used this month? Since March 8 (new billing cycle), 224MB.

[kariann12]

Do you use mobile data? Yes'm
Is it unlimited? Nope.
How much do you use a month on average? <1GB, I'm almost always on Wifi
How much have you used this month? 0.17GB, my billing cycle just started over.

We have Verizon too and that happened to us in Disney World. They say they have free wifi everywhere, but their wifi stinks. Luckily Verizon put out there new upgrade when we were there and I was able to go from 3-4gb

[motleycrew90]

Do you use mobile data: yes

Is it unlimited: Nope, just upgraded it to 4gb. Thank you Verizon for free upgrade.

How much do you use a month on average: usually between H and I just 1.5. The only time we actually met out limit is when we were at Disney World and that's because their wifi stinks.

How much have you used this month. .9gb.

[ceejay]

Do you use mobile data? Yes


Is it unlimited? No


How much do you use a month on average? MH and I are on a shared plan with my parents and one of my sisters. We all mostly use WiFi and we share 4 gb of mobile data. We typically only use ~3 gb data altogether. I only use about 0.2 gb myself.

How much have you used this month? I think I'm at ~0.15 gb this month so far.

How much do you use a month on average? 1.5-2 gb.
How much have you used this month? It restarts the 7th of April and I've used 1 gb this far.

[housecarder]

Ours isn't unlimited, we have a 2gb plan and sometimes go over if H uses his phone at work. I refuse to upgrade to a higher plan because it's the same price difference either way (paying $15 over when we do go over or upgrading for $15) and we don't always go over.
