It is impossible to give you an exact figure of how much data per month you may need but we can give you a guide based on the examples in the table below:

The below assumptions are used as examples of typical use and are intended as a guide only in the above table:

• Web page browsing = 300KB per page
• Text only email = 50KB per email
• Email with attachment = 2MB per email
• Video streaming (standard definition) = 7MB per minute
• Music download /upload = 4MB per song
• Photo download / upload = 2MB per photo

The speed of your data depends on many factors such as your location, your device capabilities, network congestion and network coverage.

On C Red plans please refer to the coverage maps for more information Click Here to view the coverage maps for C Red plans.

If you have a smartphone and you download data heavy apps, it’s easy to use all your monthly data allowance. Here are some tips on how you can reduce the amount of mobile data you use:

• If you have a smartphone with wifi, switch it on. Using wifi when available will greatly reduce the amount of mobile data you use. Try to download apps and large files over wifi where you can.
• Minimise the use of video streaming and apps such as Spotify, Netflix or Youtube.
• If you turn off apps that automatically push notifications such as facebook and GPS services and use them manually, you will save a lot of data.

You can download some nice free apps for monitoring your data use such as My Data Manager for Android or DataMan for iPhone. These apps are not 100% accurate but give you a good idea on how much data you are consuming. Of course, you can always log into your My CMOBILE account and check your data use which is updated daily.
