25 mb data plan

what exactly does that mean?
i know it must limit what i do and how much i do it, but im not sure to what extent.
help?

well, if i just check facebook from time to time or just surf the internet for a few minutes how much "MB" would that be using?

alright, i THINK I understand.

it's very easy to go over 25 MB.  Verizon agents also can give misinformation.  We recently got the enV Touch (buy one get one free).  They told my brother that we had the full 25 MB to use for this month.  But I talked to a different agent who told me that we were prorated (we're part of a family plan) until the next billing cycle.  So we didn't have the full 25 MB for this month.  So now we're over and pissed.  My brother is going to try to complain.

But even though we had the phone for only a few days (4 days), we each have clocked about 15 MB each on our separate phones.  The only data I've used is mobile email and some websites.  I haven't even touched any streaming, song downloads, video downloads, etc.  I only went on facebook once.  I think you should view webpages with the text only option on.  The only graphic intensive (if you can even call them that) is MSNBC and Gizmodo.  I did use maps.google.com a couple times.  So we were shocked how many megabytes we had used.

the only thing I can think of that may be counted as MB is the download of the mobile email app.  but downloads of paid stuff is not supposed to count against data.  otherwise, you could run into the monthly limit after a single download like a purchased game.

And mobile email is more intensive than I expected.  All my emails are basically text.  I haven't opened any attachments or anything.  mobile email is always on once you get it.  my phone kept giving me prompts every time I got email.  I thought I could save on the data by only launching the app when I wanted to check email every once in awhile.  Not this always on email thing.

i think verizon knew it was wise to give mobile email for free with that $9.99 data plan because it'll suck out all of your 25 MB.  mobile email is cool but not worth the overages or upgrading to the full $30 unlimited data plan.
