Understanding Data Usage

What Affects Data Usage?

Data usage varies significantly based on the quality settings of your applications, the type of content you consume, and your usage patterns. Video streaming typically consumes the most data, especially at higher resolutions.

How We Calculate Usage

  • Each activity has a standard data consumption rate per hour or per action
  • We multiply your usage time by the consumption rate
  • All activities are summed to give your total daily usage
  • Daily usage is projected to weekly, monthly, and yearly estimates

Data Usage Factors

Video Quality

Higher resolution videos consume exponentially more data. 4K uses 10x more than SD.

Background Apps

Apps running in background can consume data for updates, syncing, and notifications.

Auto-Play Features

Social media auto-play videos can significantly increase unexpected data usage.

Note: Actual usage may vary based on network conditions, device settings, and app optimizations.

Common Data Plans & Recommendations

Light Users (1-3 GB)

Basic email, messaging, light browsing

Perfect for minimal smartphone usage

Moderate Users (5-15 GB)

Social media, music streaming, occasional video

Good for typical smartphone users

Heavy Users (20+ GB)
