Im about to recontract and get an iphone 5.

Just wondering if 2GB is enough for iphone usuage in 1 month.

Do you guys usually exceed and have to pay more?

Use for normal facebook, twitter, whatsapp. Never tether to computer. Is it enough?

Download onavo extend. Help push the data usage down. At least it works for me. Ever since I started using, my data usage is around 1.8-1.9gb. Still risky though.

It's enough for me, I update most apps on wifi, never stream video or music, use LTE for emails, web browsing, games, Dropbox for work documents, whatsapp, wechat, Skype, im+, Facebook, twitter, flipboard, pulse etc and have never exceeded 2GB

Last month I used 380MB nia. Maybe because I too scared of exceeding.

As long as no YouTube/stream videos, no tether, no data heavy stuff like excessive 13MP photos or super thick PDFs etc, 2GB is sufficient.

That said, I stream quite a few videos on my 4S weekly (using the 12GB plan), my data usage only about 1.8GB - 2.4GB with other regular stuff like web browsing and whatsapp.

I use iMessage/WhatsApp/Tweetbot/Facebook/Safari/Instagram pretty heavily everyday, seldom stream videos on LTE/3G, average about 1.5gb for the last 3 months. Although, I now login to my home's wifi whenever I'm at home.

Don't think it's enough for me... 12 gig is like good enough. Don't plan to re-contract anymore.

Do you plan to stay on 3G always and buying phones with no contract? I am on 3g 12gb and like you have no plans to re contract. Bought my ip5 without contract though.

I will not recontract anymore and just buy from Apple directly. Or Singtel. Or Nubox/Epic etc. :)
