Mobile Data - How much mobile data will I need?
The amount of mobile data that you will need will depend very much on how often you intend to use it and particularly, on your specific activity on the Internet on your mobile phone. For example, if you use the Internet on your mobile phone to watch videos on YouTube (especially if these videos are in High Definition) and download large files, you will consume more data than if you use the Internet to read your emails or to browse websites. Understanding your monthly data usage will help you choose the right mobile data plan for you. The below graphical representation will shed some light on the level of mobile data consumption, depending on the service or application being used.
| Application/Service | Level of mobile data consumption |
| You Tube | High |
| Radio Streaming | Low |
| Spotify | Medium |
| Facebook with no video streaming | Low |
| Sending text-based emails | Low |
| Sending emails with attachments | Medium |
Note: Mobile data consumption may differ from one mobile phone to another.
