My moblie plan only includes 150 MB High speed internet.? - princess - 11-27-2012 06:31 AM
Would it last or is it enough usage for one month since I will only use it for Facebook, Twitter and Internet browsing. To add it all, I could say that in a day I use 5 hours of internet on our laptop, mostly Facebook, Twitter and internet browsing. I was a customer service specialist before for a mobile phone company and I received a lot of complains in regard to extra charges on data usages. I don’t want this to happen to me when my bill comes.
Thank you for the input. I don't know why I cannot comment on your answers.It's just the cheapest plan I can afford. But I guess I'll use the wifi more whenever there's available.

Hell no. 150 mb is nothing. It'll be gone in a week

150 MB is nothing. That's the equivalent of maybe five minutes of video, or perhaps 50 MP3 files. You'll use that in less than a week.

Ok I just checked my T-Mobile account to give you some raw data. Starting on November 8 to today November 21 I have gone through 581.7MB of data. I do very little internet browsing on the phone and haven't used Pandora the streaming music at all this month. I do watch news videos on it around 4 or 5 times a week for probably a half hour.
So in less then 2 weeks I have racked up nearly 4 times your data cap. If your have 150MB of high speed then it reverts to a slower version you will be Ok, but if it's 150 period then you start getting charged your in trouble. You would be best to not use the internet for ANY video service or streaming audio. Text only.

That won't be enough. If it's a new contract you have a 7 day cool off period in which you can cancel or change the contract you are on.
It's probably best to call the customer support team and tell them you need a big internet package and are they able to change your tarriff.
