What is your Rezound Data Usage?

Now that you have had your Rezound for a while:
How much data have you used on your plan?
How long, in days, have you had your Rezound?
What is your usage pattern (light, medium, heavy, power user)?
What apps use the most data?
Other comments.

Thanks! :)

Hoping to hear some feedback, so I know which data plan works best.
 
I came to the ReZound from a curve so my past data was max of 400Mb, in my first full week I'm sitting at 1.2G so far. I have the unlimited plan because I was grandfathered in from my work account. And can't really picture anything else.

Now I have been using my wifi when possible to see what I really use but I really like the 4G when I'm running around more than I thought I would.

As far as apps I use the most that would generate the traffic is:
Good for Enterprise - work email from antiquated Louts Notes
Facebook
Steaming from gMusic - which will be changing to put the music on my phone to utilize Beats
TeamViewer - remote assistance
 
Had it for a about 10 days. I'm at 22 day of billing cycle.

I'm at 3.7GB. Never went over 1.2GB with Inc but was on WiFi.

Rezound is strictly 4G no WiFi.
 
So far it looks like a 4GB plan is the minimum requirement for this new phone, maybe more like 6. Thanks for the input so far and comparisons to prior usage.
 
Based on past usage, i use 6-8gb per month. I dont use wifi since the internet at my house is 750k whereas I can get 1mb on 3g.
 
I went through 2GB in my first week, but have slowed down since then. On Sprint, I averaged 1.5GB/mo, but it was so slow that I didn't use it often. I am so glad I was able to jump in on the double data because 2GB would not be enough for this phone! LTE is so fast in my area, I would blast through it far too quickly.
 
That's classified....I could tell you, but then I'd have to keeel you!

I've had the phone for around 10 days or so and I've done 24GB so far. I live in a area with good reception. 4G kills my top tier cable connection.

4G is great for torrents :)

I had 4.8GB my first day with this phone. My usage will level off though. Most like around 20GB a month for this line. I'm the reason that Verizon has to limit their data plans.
 
I'm deliberately using 4G at home and work instead of WiFi and trying to stream Pandora, NPR and TED a lot. I just got my phone on Tuesday and I'm currently at 900MB usage.
 
I actually just switched to Verizon on thursday from sprint...and YES, I have unlimited data and here is how. I started off with the 5gb data(10gb with promotion) and my cost with my discount was $41 for that data plan....I saw on another forum that if you requested the unlimited 4g hotspot on your phone they will switch you to an unlimited data plan. I thought it was hogwash so I called and asked the first rep and she told me I couldnt. I called back and told the next rep that I saw the unlimited 4g hotspot feature on the myVerizon page but when I tried to add it, I was instructed to contact customer service. The rep said, no problem, I just need to add unlimited data to your plan first and then I can add the hotspot. The whole process was done in 30 secs. Now I have unlimited data and hotspot for a total of $45/month with my discount. Awesome.

Some people went back into their account and removed the hotspot feature and the unlimited data stuck. I dont plan to do this...I'm going to keep the hotspot on since the deal was good for me. Hope this helps!!
 
It's tough to say what an accurate data usage amount will be, since the phone is new to all of us so we're all downloading/reinstalling apps, trying out new features/applications that we haven't seen/used before, etc. It'll take at least a month or two to benchmark what our (or at least my) "real" usage will be.

45 is pretty damn good for unlimited data considering the current pricing terms. Almost as good as the 30.00 a month .
 
I am currently 6 days into my new month and am at 4.8gigs its actually the first time I put the data widget on my phone and paid attention. I don't even consider myself a heavy usage user I don't know how anyone could get by with 2gb . I'm on unlimited
 
Well two days in and I am at 600+ Mb of New usage. I transferred my apps using a backup. A 2-4GB plan won't cut the mustard with how fast this phone transfers data.
 
I keep wifi turned off in all situations. 4G is faster and I like using my home connection for other dedicated things.
 
I have had my phone for 4 days I've used 1.5gb in those days and I'm 10 days Into billing cycle with 1.88 gb
