How much does 500MB / 1GB / 2GB of data get you?

How much does 500MB / 1GB / 2GB of data get you?

Most plans, whether pay-as-you-go or contract have some kind of data limitation (unless you're on an unlimited plan of course!). Whether you're streaming YouTube video after video, listening to Spotify all day, or simply browsing Facebook and Instagramming your latest meal, you're going to need some kind of data plan.

Our handy mobile data usage calculator can help you find out what you can do with your internet allowance.  No longer will you be wondering how many emails can you send before your data allowance runs out? How many times can you watch that video of the surprised kitty before your internet screams "no more!"?

You can choose between 100MB and 5GB of data and a range of activities from checking emails to listening to Spotify.
