Mobile data limits are becoming more of an issue than ever before. A 2GB data plan will usually give you enough for 24 hours based on Mobile Data providers or the specific internet packages of browsing the web, songs, or 4 hours on standard definition. Most phone carriers offer about the same amount o. In the context of mobile data, 2GB is a relatively low data usage.
A user can use 2GB in a day by using about hours of video streaming and 20 minutes of social media browsing. For comparison, 1GB equals emails or posts on social media sites like Facebook or Instagram. This makes 2GB equal to emails or posts on social media sites like Facebook or Instagram!
Of course, unlimited never really is unlimited when it comes to the plan definitions unless you enjoy being regressed back to 3G speeds, but that is another story. If you are using an unlimited plan, these numbers mean nothing to you unless you are thinking of switching to a cheaper cell phone data plan.
Our thoughts are that the average cell phone user would not need more than 2-Gigabytes of data per month however if you plan to stream a lot of movies, download or listen to tons of music or use your phone as a computer then you should probably look at an unlimited usage plan. The following is a rough estimate of the things you can do on your phone with a 2GB data plan. There are many factors involved while assessing the averages like the size of photos of emails and web pages.
These factors vary greatly so these are only rough estimates but should give you a good idea of some of the things that can be done with a 2-Gigabyte data plan. If you are looking for numbers for a different size plan, simply multiply the numbers by the size of the plan you are thinking about using. There are two types of emails to send; one with attachments and one without. The average email with no attachments is about 25 kilobytes and one with attachments would be about kilobytes.
That being said you could send about 84 thousand emails without attachments or 4 thousand with attachments. On average, streaming music uses about 25 Megabytes per hour so you could listen to about 82 hours of streaming music per month. The average mobile web page uses about 1-Megabyte of data so you could view about 2, web pages per month.
The average post on Facebook with a photo attachment is about Kilobytes so you could post 5, photos per month with a 2-Gigabyte data plan.
The average video stream, not HD video, uses about 2-Megabytes per minute so you could watch about hours of a standard video stream per month. The average HD video stream can use as much as 5-Megabytes per minute so you could watch about 7-hours of streaming HD video per month with this plan.
The average size of an application, game or song is about 4-Megabytes so you could download around songs or apps per month with this plan. Of course, you would probably not use your phone for just emailing or listening to streaming music so you can just figure out what you may do with the majority of phone use and incorporate those numbers into the corresponding usage rates to find a good data plan to suit your needs. This would mean it would take 20 days to hit the 2GB cap.
Alternatively, download videos before you leave the house. Music streaming apps have become very popular in recent years and they can take up a surprisingly large amount of data. One song on either of these platforms will be around 5MB on average. You can get away with listening to an hour of music 2 days per week and use under MB of data per month.
My advice: The best thing to do is save music for offline listening. That way, you are free to listen to as much music as you like.
If not, you could get a goodybag with more to offer. Even just spending an hour or two on social media per day can be enough to hit 5GB of data per month. On Twitter, and in some cases Facebook, your data usage may be less. This is because less images are shown in comparison to Snapchat and Instagram. My suggestion: 2GB of mobile data should be more than enough when using social media apps. Try not to send too many videos and photos via instant messaging apps and 2GB will be plenty to get you through the month.
First things first, make sure that you have automatic updates set to install over WiFi. Thankfully, data costs are getting cheaper.
