Data usage varies by device and other factors and the above examples are estimates only.
1 MB = 1,024 KB; 1 GB = 1,024 MB. Photos, text emails and web page sizes vary widely.
Important information about data usage:
The following activities also require data usage from your cellular service. However, they are not included in the estimate provided by the data calculator:
- Tethering (sharing your mobile data connection with a computer via USB cable)
- Wi-Fi hotspot (sharing your mobile data connection with other devices via Wi-Fi)
These activities can use large amounts of data. Additional charges will apply if you exceed the amount of data included in your rate plan and/or data feature. No data is used from your cellular service if you’re connected to a Wi-Fi network.
