How the estimate works

Planning assumptions: maps 8 MB/h, social media 150 MB/h, music 65 MB/h, internet calls 45 MB/h, standard video 500 MB/h and higher-quality video 1.5 GB/h. Occasional hotspot adds 300 MB/day and frequent hotspot 900 MB/day. We then add a 25% safety margin. Actual usage can differ by app, media quality, background updates and phone settings.

Keep planning
