If you have a limited data plan, exceeding the limit can cost you a lot. Your budget can go out of hand if you exceed the data limit. There are various cheap mobile plans which offer a sufficient amount of data. You can check them out and renew your plan. Before selecting a plan, you should know how much data you need. This can be done with a few simple steps.

1. Keeping A Track Record This is a little lengthy process. You can keep a little diary for a month and monitor your own data usage. You can keep a track of how much time you spend on the internet, and which apps do you use very often. Keeping a track record can help you estimate your monthly data usage. 2. Online Data Calculator There are various online data calculators which you can use to determine how much data you need. You just have to fill out a survey based on the time you spend on the internet, and the apps you use. These data calculators will provide you with an estimate of monthly data that you need. These are free calculators present online. You can buy cheap mobile plans if you make an estimate which does not require unlimited data access.

 

3. Data Estimate Your internet bills will give you the exact idea of how much data you need. If you want to lower that data estimate, you can simply set the Facebook videos to never auto-play, and use a lot streaming quality on YouTube.
