The numbers are in and you probably don't need an expensive unlimited data plan.

I definitely need every gig in my unlimited. Lol. As a family we are currently over 100 GB.
So are we, but we did manage before with 24 gb shared and wifi. But my son was about to burst at the seam though. LOL

We use half of our 24gb, but it's $30 more to get unlimited. No thanks!
I pay €10 more for unlimited (was €20 for 300 minutes voice or 300 text and 6GB of data)
I was really forcing myself to use less data, had all apps that supported it set to 'Use Less Data'. And at the end of the month I had barely any MB's left.
Now with unlimited I have disabled 'Use Less Data' and am using cellular data to its fullest extent. So no, I'm not being ripped off.
Oh, unlimited also applies to all of EU, which is a real win for me. With my previous plan I only had 250MB of free roaming. That's no more.
Cool! But what is "use less data"? I don't see that. All I have is a toggle to turn cellular on or off for each app. Is it something new in 10.3 or what?
Instagram and Snapchat are two examples that offer this in their settings.
Many other social media apps have similar options. If they don't , they at least offer the option to auto-download media on either wifi and data, or just on wifi.
The other thing they offer is to download and/or upload videos in high quality or low quality.
Even iMessage has such an option.
Yeah, that's the one.I don't see anything for iMessage other than the toggle in settlngs > Cellular and for low quality images.
I'm not that much on Facebook anyway, so I didn't care to check it. You may be right.Don't see anything in Facebook settings except for video, but it doesn't mention cellular.
Yup. And I had everything what in any way resembles the usage of less data over cellular enabled.The only thing I see in Twitter is for video play. I don't use Instagram or Snapchat.
Is it true that some of these unlimited plans don't allow tethering? If so, how do they prevent it? I don't use that much data on my phone alone but an unlimited plan might be worth investing in for when I'm on the go and have my MacBook with me.
