11 signs that your cellular data limit is too low

28.08.2015
Figuring out exactly how much data you need isn’t an exact science. Some months you need more (like when you’re road-tripping across the western United States), and other months you need none (like when you work from home for two weeks straight, and by “work from home” I mean “never leave your home except to walk the dog”).

But if you frequently find yourself refusing to turn on your phone’s cellular data for fear of overage charges, you may want to consider upping your data limit. After all, man cannot live on 1GB of data alone.

“Sure, I’ll go to lunch with you. But only if we go to Denny’s, because FREE WI-FI!!”

If everything is turned off, there’s no way your phone will accidentally use background data.

Who needs stickers and GIFs when we have unlimited texting!

Streaming media is for rich people and those with unlimited data. You don’t have 4GB a month to waste on watching Netflix while you’re in the bathroom.

Really bad. Like, sounds like a Skype call—nay, HAM radio.

Check your email Check your data usage. Get a notification Check your data usage. Open a webpage CHECK YOUR DATA USAGE. EVERY BYTE COUNTS.

On Android, ‘free’ games usually means ad-supported. And ads use data—too much data. No mobile game maker is going to make money off your limited data plan!

“Hold on, let me just download these Spotify playlists! I have to pre-load that Google Maps area! Wait a sec, just loading up these YouTube videos! I’ll be right there, I swear!”

We don’t all have the luxury of streaming. Do you people with unlimited data even know how to put music on your phone anymore

Video chat, on the other hand, is a laughable notion.

Four days left and 0.005GB left. Hope nobody needs to contact you, because this phone is going in a drawer until your next billing cycle.
