Post your cell phone data usage chart

Sign in to disble this ad
There is a lot of conversation about the new AT&T usage plans and AT&T's claim that 98% of customers use less than 2GB of data. Let's see what TB's usage is. AT&T customers post the chart that is found in your account under View Past Data Usage. Be sure and crop out or black out your number. Ok, maybe that's too much trouble. If so then just post the data shown there like this:

Last 6 months from most recent to oldest month:
~500mb
400mb
300mb
300mb
400mb
1.2gb

Other providers' customers post your as well if your provider gives you simple access to that info.

Here's the chart as seen on my account:


My data is mostly fairly constant web access and email throughout the day. I don't do too much regular media streaming.

I don't have a neat graph like you do, but here is my last few months..

Dec = 566MB
Jan = 800MB
Feb = 1.2GB
March = 2.3GB
April = 2.2GB
May = 3.1GB

I bought my Droid in December, rooted it in March.

You guys can get the internet on your phone?! Amazing!

I mean, you can get data plans here... If you want to pay rediculious amounts of money for it

I use my phone only to talk. I know it's a strange concept, but someone's gotta do it.........

Weirdo.

Everyone knows phones are for texting


I don't know how people do it, I go through maybe $10 worth of phone calls/text a month. A friend of mine sends about 10,000 text messages a month on average, he used to have 1 cent text messaging and he'd go through $10 a day on a good day, now he has some unlimited text plan.

Samsung Blackjack II for talk/up to 200 texts per mo., and no Internet on the current contract. 5,000+ rollover minutes at the moment-in case of family emergency...
(Unlimited or 24/7 long distance on house phone, too! I'd rather throw cellphone Internet cost toward having a separate home phone.)

This thread is about cell phone DATA usage only. Talk and texts are irrelevant to the discussion.

Not too much usage here... I'm in an office all day working, and at night I'm using my Macbook.

I tend to utilize the data mostly when I'm traveling.
