How much data do you use monthly?

[Veraster]

I got my new Droid X2 on a month to month plan several weeks ago. After this cycle that im on is over, I will no longer have unlimited data Some places on the internet say this is horrible because most people use an average of 15gb on their phones while some places say that most people dont even go over 500mb.

If everybody who reads this could post how much bandwidth they use and what they do on their phones, it would be helpful so I could get a better idea of how much 2gb of data really is.

Thanks

I've used less than 2gb per month for a while. And I'm on my phone alot with Tapatalk, yahoo im, and surfing the web.

end of line...

I usually use 750mb to 1.5gb/month. I have never passed 2gb. I surf from my DX more than my pc.

My DroidX Thrives on the DarkSlide!!

between 750mb-1gb/ month

The majority of people stay under the 2GB, but what other people do and what you do are completely different matters. This would almost be like going into an *insert motor vehicle here* forum and asking How many gallons of gas do you use monthly so I can gauge how much I am going to use?. Way too many variables.

Can't you look at your statements to see how much you have been using?

Data Calculator <-- that can give you an idea of numbers, but I wouldn't really lean too heavily on that as there are a lot more variables. How often are you around wifi? App downloads and updates aren't included on that list, if you have a lot of apps, especially larger apps that update frequently, this can add up to a decent amount. There are many other variables as well that the calculator doesn't include.

To answer your question, my data usage is all over the place. There have been a few months where I have hit around 8GB, and then there have been many months where I have been under 1GB. My daughter uses about 5GB, more in Summer months since she is out of school.

If you log in to your account, you can see how much you've used. I know that doesn't help you right now, but it will in the future.

Also, I'm on the road a lot and I'm constantly downloading ROMs and the like through 3G and I don't think I've ever been over 1.5, much less 2.

Holy crap.. What do you do on your phone? Im really mad that verizon took away unlimited data because that's the #1 reason i chose them in the first place. #2 was because they had the Droid. You would have to be paying the $80 on tired data -____-

If you had to use tired data would it be worth paying the $50 for 5GB?
