Is 1gb of data on iPhone 5 good enough for my type of usage?

If you're streaming music or video, it's not a good idea to do it from your phone carrier's bandwidth. Depending on the quality (kbps of the song), a single song can range from a megabyte to 4 megabytes. I've used TuneIn radio for a while, and I can tell it's eating up my quota much much faster than Facebook/Twitter usage.

If you do the calculation, you will notice you'll fill your limit easily with constant streaming.

There are utilities/programs for your phone to tell you how much data you've used. ( For example, you can see how many MBs you've streamed from TuneIn's settings).

My personal advice would be to avoid streaming music/video when not connected to a wi-fi network as it will fill your quota pretty fast. If you still want to go for it, I would recommend getting a plan with higher data limit.

Hope I could help!
