The how much data do you use thread.

MADEinSTOKE · 29 Jun 2017 at 17:42

Got my 6s in November 2015 and have used 1 .9 gb since owning it

reflux · 4 Jul 2017 at 11:20

I'm on Three with 30GB data, but the most I usually use is about 5GB. I don't really need 30GB data but it's nice to have and not very expensive.

I have 20GB with voda but I barely use more than 6GB over a month., it's just nice to have it available when I need it more than anything.

I don't understand why you wouldn't use Wifi where possible - It's quicker than 4G.

Unless you have ropey old 'g wifi.

Not sure about others but I only use 4G when away from home, I refuse to use public Wifi and asking for Wifi access when you're a guest in someones house is a bit cheeky imo.

Oh yeah, I meant at home/work. I don't mind using public wifi that doesn't ask for any details - The phones tell you if the connection is secure or not.

What my friends tend to do now when they have people around for a BBQ or whatever is send a picture of the Wifi name/password via Whatsapp and then people can use it if they wish.

I wouldn't have considered doing that, it's a good idea for a BBQ though.

When we allowed everyone in IT to use Wifi everyone else complained it was too slow so we don't do that anymore and the password changes every month so I tend not to bother with it.

I have two NFC tags on the living room light switch. One for 2.4ghz Wifi and one for 5Ghz Wifi. Tap the back of your phone on it as you come in...

VincentHanna · 5 Jul 2017 at 09:56

Nice idea

How much did those set you back though?

Em3bbs · 5 Jul 2017 at 10:16

NFC tags literally cost pennies, I think I paid about 40p each last time I bought some.

wi fi usage will probably match yours. mobile data not so much.

My friend doesn't use WiFi unless he's at home. Doesn't use public WiFi due to trust issues and spamming.

I use about 8-10GB a month, barely use it to watch Youtube or the like but I seemingly tend to burn through data using Whatsapp and Play Newstand (or whatever its called these days).

no wifi, public or otherwise at work sites and most shifts I'm there in case of emergencies so just have to sit waiting for phone calls. Can easily be several Gb a shift with netflix, youtube etc.
one way or another this is going to change in the next month or two when I change jobs.

I see three are soon going to be offering a service #gobinge where Netflix and other streaming services are not going to count towards your data limit.

Tee Hee Johnson · 5 Jul 2017 at 17:45

About 7gb, have unlimited with three

stewski · 5 Jul 2017 at 17:48

I'm on payg 3 1p per meg, couple of months at less than a fiver so far.

I have a 7GB allowance and I use about 6GB each month.

Sho · 6 Jul 2017 at 21:06

Use about 20/25gb a month

ljop · 7 Jul 2017 at 07:29

Under 2gb a month, but I spend most of the time in areas where WIFI is available. That being said, my usage may increase with the announcement that three made.
