Worked example

1 hr video, 2 hrs social, 1 hr music, 0.5 hr gaming, 1 hr browsing daily. Click Calculate. Daily = 1.47 GB, monthly ≈ 44 GB. A 50 GB monthly bundle fits with headroom; a 25 GB bundle would run out around day 17.

Frequently asked questions

Video by far — an hour of YouTube at 720p uses about 1 GB, more than all other activities combined for most people.

Lower video quality to 480p, download on WiFi, and restrict background data for heavy apps.

Texting uses almost nothing; voice notes, photos and especially video calls add up — video calls run about 0.5 GB per hour.
