Hey guys. So I finally got kicked off unlimited data when I upgraded to iPhone 5. Very disappointed that this is how the game works now. To be honest if I could get 3 GB at $30, I'd probably be fine, but alas 2 gb is what they give you.
On my iPhone 5, I would routinely go about .5-1gb over 2 gb every month but never had to worry about it. I would usually use Pandora for a few hours while at work on the weekend, anywhere between 2 and 6 hours of playback. I purchased a 64 gb i5 though so I hope I'll be less likely to want to to use Pandora or another streaming service.
Anyway, I also feel like I'm missing out on a great feature my phone has, that being 4G LTE. I'm almost afraid to use it in fear of going over my data limit. Shared data plans aren't really an option as my family doesn't need unlimited calling, and its just me and one other device using data so we're saving $10 just doing individual data plans. I was thinking of going big and getting the 5GB with Tethering but am skeptical I can afford it in the long run.
Anyway, what I am asking is for advice on when to use my 4G, when not to use 4G, and how I can comfortably use it without being stressed that I may go over my limit. I have pretty mediocre wifi in my apartment, but usually decent data when I'm in class and on campus, but at work and home I really want to use it more often than not.
Thank you for any and all advice.
