Hello:

My operator has 3 different plans
5MB
75MB
1000MB
How much is enough for you guys? If you have approx number of emails or hours online, it would really help me decide what to take.

I personally get 15-20 emails/day, read online news and open google maps 1-2 times a week.

Much obliged for your tips

I just know i have unlimited data.

[pkcable]

I use between 500M & just over 1000M (or 1G). I would suggest the 1000M, unless you are a light user. I'm a heavy user. 5M is not enough, BUT if you are careful you could probably survive on 75.

EDIT: I just noticed you are on an 8900 which has wifi, so data used while in a hotspot will not count against you, keep that in mind.

I have 100 MB of BB traffic(emails,internet,A-GPS data,everything that's data-almost) and 500 MB of Live Vodafone,which is a portal from where you can get on any site on the Internet,as long as you start there.So...100 MB would be enough anyway but that's cuz I'm mostly using wifi everywhere I go (office,at home,clients, bars,etc).

I generally use between 1-3GB a month... But I use data services on my berry almost constantly

I don't understand how you can use so much data a month. I don't go through that much tbh. I get 250mb a month which is supposedly unlimited. I think a mb is 160 wap pages if I'm not wrong.

verizon only offers the all-in option..

[toomuchgame441]

I use about 200mb myself. I'm very curious to see how some of you use near a gig of data on your bb.

i have unlimited data, but ive burned only 200MB so far. id take the 1000MB just for your best bet, i check facebook and google maps a lot

[Speedv1]

From what I can see the majority of people make by with less than 500 mb, but more than 100. I'm recommend the 1000, primarily for the fact that you use google maps (which will add up over time), just with the 75mb you might be cutting yourself short..

[skullgame45]

I use around 4G of data per month.

I use anywhere from 3-4gigs a month. A lot of music streaming and surfing the web when I have free time. Once and a while tethering when I can't connect to a wifi. If I'm paying for unlimited, why not use it to its full potential?

How do you check your data usage?

On my iPhone I only used 90 megabytes the last time I checked. On my Bold, I have unlimited data (only thing AT&T offers in terms of BB data!) but I got it so recently I can't check how much I've used yet. I know that about half of my Bold web surfing is on Wi-Fi, so my carrier probably won't clock too much data.

[grumpyjoe]

I use the web pretty often on my Curve. I have unlimited and my billing starts on the 28th of every month and I have used 280464.79 KB so far. From what I understand. Its expensive to go over.

[Artemis68]

I believe my last phone bill showed 2 GB of usage..I usually use just 1.5 GB but my home wifi was down for part of the month.

If you do just emailing and OCCASIONAL (like a few min a day on the web) data usage...get the 75 MB.

I use a lot because I tether, listen to Pandora, go online a lot, and watch youtube on the go. If you want to do anything of these, get the highest plan possible.

I say go with the 1000mb. I never use that much per month (and I'm CONSTANTLY online or using different email/IM clients), but you'll definitely use more than 75mb. It's too bad they don't have something more in the middle!
