How much Data to get for Overseas?

[sillycabbage132]

You're only going for 72 hours. Wouldn't it be better to just make use of free wifi spots. They're in a few places in Paris, and if you buy a coffee at a lot of shops, they give you a complimentary 15 minute wifi voucher to log on. Not to mention the fact, your hotel will probably have free wifi in the foyer. Virgin Mobile offer tiny data allowances, so you'll go over and make lots of money for them due to their extortionate data roaming charges.You could easily use 10MB in 10 minutes! Plus, it's not only Facebook you have to worry about. If there's other apps on in the background, they could easily send you over your limit in no time and cost you hundreds. It's up to you though, when I go overseas I tend to turn off Data Roaming on my phone and restrict it to wifi only.
