| 1319266 | 2012-12-19 22:54:00 | Hi there. Being cheap & not wanting to spend much on 3G data plans Im looking at the 2dgrees data plans $6 month = 50M data . www.2degreesmobile.co.nz Is 50M enough, just for very occasional 3G use, eg if I need to google an address, or check trademe/email once or twice a week if Im not at home & cant wait. My cellphone useage for calls is really minimal , a $20 prepaid lasts me months (old ph wouldnt do 2g/3g/data) ie will 50M be enough for infrequent use, or is 50M really just a joke. I know its a 'how long is a piece of string' question but want to get some idea of the minimum I can get away with. Cheers |

Is tha the $19 Talk combo from 2degrees? I find the text one better value, give you some talk time, unlimited text (yawn who cares) but have about 500mb data. |

Yes, 50 Mb for your use will be OK. As long as you don't frequent websites with lots of graphics, or YouTube, it will be adequate. I was online a couple of days when away from home, doing email, reading heaps on Reddit, looking at weather forecasts, and more. Total was just over 30 Mb, but I was doing lots. 2degrees also. BTW I believe their prepay plans can be stopped at any time. Currently they have some great deals such as $19 that includes 500 Mb + a text/talk package. |
