We know that talking in "gigs" can be a tad confusing. So let’s break it down.
How much is 1GB of data?
1GB of data works out to about 1 million basic emails or 2,000 emails with attachments. Or it gives you enough data to download or stream around 200 songs, download or stream 2 hours worth of standard definition videos or listen to 16 hours of online radio. Now that's a lot of data.
How much is 500MB of data?
If you’re not such a heavy data user, 500MB would let you access 500,000 basic emails or 1,000 emails with attachments. It also equates to 100 song downloads/streaming, 1 hour of downloading /streaming standard definition video or 8 hours of listening to online radio.
