caved in...
 

the time has come to turn dumb like everyone else as i have a phone thats smart. i must be the last person in the uk to succumb to having to do this.


thought i would do it as cheep as possible so i got myself an oppo a5. the thing is fekin huge so no longer will it fit in my jeans pocket.


for those peoplethat are addicted to their phone how much data do you use a month?

Re: caved in...
 

Nope, I don't have one but I'll admit I have been looking.

"Three" have a calculator for data usage (which I've not used)

the phone is not the only thing i'll need to carry around. i'll need my bloody glasses too.

cheers. i'll have a look. its getting to the point that i cant do internet banking without a smart phone even though i have a computer..

Re: caved in...
 

If you're only using it for internet banking and other such things you'll use very little data in a month.

Pre Covid when i was out more, i'd use about 7GB on an average month. But i was using it most work days to stream YouTube or Netflix at lunch, and social media with photo uploads/uploads on a daily basis.

On the Oppo you can view your data usage, and it breaks it down by App too - so you can monitor how much is being used.

I have a 100 gig sim only plan with unlimited calls and texts from Three. Netflix doesn’t use any data with this deal and I can use it as a hot spot so it’s like a router for the kids. I use about 15 gig because I listen to Spotify a lot and watch a few YouTube videos every day. I only have such a big plan so my kids can connect when we go camping and watch Netflix and go on YouTube. It used to be a 30gig plan but when I came to renew they did a 100 for the same price. Not bad for 18 quid a month. If you don’t use YouTube or Spotify then 8 gig would be overkill

I use the laptop to connect to it to stream the footy in the garage sometimes

Re: caved in...
 

lets say i use it as a wifi hotspot for connecting a 4k telly to so i can watch netflix what sort of data would i use then? it would be for the mrs and 14hrs a day.


voxi do an unlimited data but dont know if that includes wifi hotspot and the site is less than helpfull about such things.

Re: caved in...
 

If you are using your home Wi-Fi it won't eat your data. I have a Tesco Sun with 20gb but tend to use less than 6. That's even streaming Prime music.

my wife cant get internet at the care home so cant watch netflix and i was thinking if i got her a phone she could use it like a wifi hotspot.
