Egluntyne Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Am thinking about upgrading to an iphone. Do I go for the 1gb package or 2gb? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoid Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Is this for the internet access? If so, 1GB (per month) will be plenty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted July 20, 2013 Author Share Posted July 20, 2013 It is. I won't be listening to much music and won't be viewing you tube videos or watching telly. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplemaniacs Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 It is. I won't be listening to much music and won't be viewing you tube videos or watching telly. Cheers. OH says in that case it should be fine. Chrissie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavenders_Blue Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 I've just got a new smartphone (not iPhone) and went for 250mb data per month. I've used about 70mb in around 2 1/2 weeks as I mostly connect to WiFi for Internet access. I'm amazed at the number of places you can pickup free WiFi while you're out and about, plus at home of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted July 20, 2013 Author Share Posted July 20, 2013 That's useful. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 I almost never use my phone's 3G internet access; I use it almost entirely via wifi (which is quicker at any rate). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavenders_Blue Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 I'm fairly sure you can also switch off data on your phone settings, so it doesn't use up data in the background (ie checking for emails, updating apps etc) then you can just switchboard on when needed. That would help keep data use to an absolute minimum if needed - or if getting close to your data allowance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
percy049 Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 1GB will be more than enough unless you plan on watching several films via your phone internet. I only normally use about 200-300MB a month Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted July 21, 2013 Author Share Posted July 21, 2013 Cheers. 1GB it is then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted July 23, 2013 Author Share Posted July 23, 2013 I've got it and I absolutely love it! Why have I resisted for so long? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lavenders_Blue Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 I felt the same when I got my new smartphone. I had resisted for ages thinking that my phone called and texted people so what else does it need to do? Now... My calendar is on there (diary gone from handbag!) and appointments pop up automatically, thus relieving me of the problem of putting appointments in my diary, but not actually bothering to check it My addresses and phone numbers are all on there (address book also gone from handbag, handbag now significantly lighter). It has a sat nav, so I don't have to drive around with bits of paper and maps taped to the dashboard and windscreen Plus lots of other handy stuff like being able to take snaps while I'm out and about, check the news/weather/traffic reports, and a million other things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 I was the same - wouldn't be without mine now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
