FAQ
Why does YouTube use so much data?
1080p streams at 1.5 GB/hour. 4K at 7 GB/hour. WhatsApp video calls use 0.5 GB/hour. For most users, video streaming is 70%+ of monthly data.
Wi-Fi at home — does cellular plan matter?
Less. With home Wi-Fi covering most usage, 1.5 GB/day prepaid plan suffices. For digital nomads / commuters, 2 GB/day is the safer choice.
Hotspot tethering — separate counter?
Counts on the host phone's data. So if you tether to your laptop and stream, both contribute to your phone's GB consumption.
