This sucks, but some of the people they talk to in that article are full of ****.

"Really, I'm just looking at pictures and text once in a while." Well then there's is no way in hell you are going to get anywhere close to 2GB in a month.

That Trang dude used 2.3 GB in TWO WEEKS! He better check what his cousins are doing when they get ahold of it, causing using the GPS function is not going to get you up to 4.5 gig in a month.

I still don't understand how these people are using that much data. I stream Spotify (high-quality even!) 4-5 hours a day on mine, check Facebook, Twitter and OS constantly, and maxed out at 1.1 GB in a month.

Most likely, a ton of Netflix streaming. I have unlimited data with a throttle at 5GB. Only one month did I reach that threshold, it was when I streamed Netflix on my commute to work.

Without that, I am pretty much below 2GB every month.

I stream radio apps all day at work. So you're talking 7 hours a day (minus lunch) that's 35 hours a week. 140 hours a month, I could easily see it get as high as mine does. Not counting the countless hours I use Twitter, a chat app, play games, Facebook, Youtube etc...

I sure wish my job had Wi-Fi.

BTW I never stream Netflix.

How do you guys check how much data you're using?

It's under settings, general, usage I think.

I know that if you have AT&T, you call *3282# and they send you a text with your data usage for the billing period.

Re: iPhone Discussion Thread

I'm pretty sure I am going to be purchasing an iPhone 4S within the next day or two. It'll be my first smartphone, so any tips or words of advice would be appreciated.

Is it necessary to buy a case? Or a bumper?

I, personally, like the look of the phone "naked;" but at the same time, it would suck to drop it and break it or make it aesthetically unappealing.

I think that's the battle. You either go with the naked look but risk having it break if you drop it, or you get a case that works and at least looks nice enough to be okay with it.

I like my case. I wish I didn't have to use it, but I don't want to risk it.

Definitely get a case. Most falls could damage a phone, but the iPhone is on another level.

Re: iPhone Discussion Thread

I'd go with a case to be on the safe side. I prefer it to be naked, but it doesn't take long to get used to the case.

Re: iPhone Discussion Thread

Go without a case. It's not as big a deal as some make it.

Just don't go around flinging your phone.

Re: iPhone Discussion Thread

I have a 4S and have had a 3G and the original iPhone and I've never had a case. I like to keep it in my pocket. I've never had a problem, other than minor scratches to the back. I've dropped this 4S two or three times and thought, "uh oh that may have broken it", but it's always been fine when I've picked it up.

I would consider a case if I could get a really thin one that slid in and out of my pocket, but and Otterbox type case is totally out of the question for me. Too bulky and too rubbery.

Re: iPhone Discussion Thread

no case...most of the time.

3GS...never used a case.

4S...bought a really thin hard plastic case. mostly so i could put the phone down on any surface and not worry about the back scratching. eventually got tired of it and went naked again.

i did however just get a mophie juice pack case/battery for my 4S. for snowboarding and any other extended activities when i want some extra protection and some extra battery life.

Lifeproof case is thin and waterproof, shockproof, snow proof, etc.
