How do I know how much data I need?

Any time your phone isn’t connected to Wi-Fi and you go online, whether you're streaming music, watching videos or video chatting, or just browsing the Web, you're using data. Some things, like sending emails without attachments, generally use very little. But others, like watching Netflix every day, can use up your monthly data pretty fast.

If you mostly use your phone outside your home to check email or scroll social media now and then, a plan with 2 to 3 GB of data should do the trick. But if you frequently stream videos and post stories while you’re on the go, you'll likely need at least 10 GB.

The good news? You can always change your plan if your needs change. Top up with extra data anytime, or adjust your data amount for your next billing cycle—more or less, it’s up to you.
