Fishing oz style _ Help & Computer Support _ Another Data Question

Posted by: quintrex101 Feb 2 2012, 02:46 AM

Alright guys, might be a few guys on here i'm hoping with smartphones on plans.

I've never had a plan before and i'm thinking of getting one next week. I've decided on the Samsung Galaxy S2. Just a quick question do you think 500MB of data is enough per month ?

I'll only have the normal widgets like weather etc, and probably light browsing on the web. Might only browse for 20 minutes each day, no downloading, no steaming etc

What do you guys think ?

When you are at home you can use your home connection through wireless so ya dont use ya phone data

Mate i have an iPhone 3GS now on prepaid and when i have credit i never watch videos, never download on it and never steam. I rarely even web browse. If i'm on the net at home i'm on my laptop, never been a fan of the smaller screen haha. So i'm starting to think 500MB will be fine, i'f i'm out and need to find something out, quick google search here and there won't harm

Yeah my mate got one the other day and i used it and thought, this thing has everything over the iPhone ! and i'm so bored of iOS anyway, too simple, too locked up for my liking, so i'm thinking the galaxy and androids going to be a nice chance

dont smash the screen on them apparently it can turn into a very expensive job!!!
apparently a new screen and parts needed cost 350 alone...

You will regret not get 2gb or more as they are a ripper and you will find yourself using it more when out.

I think my Nokia 5110 is getting out of date but it only costs $10 a Month, I think they would charge me more if I made a phone call with it though.
