Just in the process of organising the tariff for my new iPhone and was wondering how much a 750Mb limit equates to in amount of browsing/downloading you can do as this is the fair usage limit per month on a supposed unlimited wifi and internet browsing limit. Is this a fair amount?
Cheers

I thought data usage was unlimited? It is with my O2 deal.

That's the Orange limit, isn't it? I get through a lot of data on mine but mostly on wifi rather than over the 3G network. Still, for the money I think 750Mb isn't very much and you could find yourself stuck; especially if you do any heavier surfing.

I've had mine for a week and been pissing about with it a lot as have been travelling with work for 3 days. Have used 125mb. I'd say 750mb is a lot. On Orange it's fair use so hopefully you won't get caned if you go over occasionaly.

Depends if you plan on watching iPlayer / youtube / listening to Spotify / lastfm ... etc.

750Mb is not much if you plan on doing any of them. But if you're just browsing web pages and reading emails you'll be fine

I've used 6GB cellular on this one so far and had it less than 6 months.

Just checked in my settings, and it says 'Sent 270 Mb, Received 3.8 Gb. My contract is now twelve months into an eighteen month total. It gets used at work, at home, everywhere, in fact. Mostly on wifi at home, and whatever hotspots I find.
