When you’re on holiday in the USA or Asia with your iPhone or iPad, consider this:
250 MB is:
- About 35 minutes of YouTube video at standard-definition
- OR about 8-10 minutes of YouTube or iTunes video at 720p hi-definition
- OR about 70 songs from iTunes
- OR a few thousand Web pages and typical email usage in a month
- OR more than 4,000 Facebook photos
Typical UK charges for International prepaid Global data plans (Orange)
- 1MB = £8
- 5MB = £17.50
- 10MB = £35
- 50MB = £88.13
- 200MB = £135
If you don’t get a prepaid bundle, you will be charged at £8 per MB, so:
- watching SD You Tube via G3 will cost you £57 per minute (a 90 min movie = over £5,100)
- watching HD YouTube via G3 will cost you £250 per minute (a 90 min movie approx £22,500!)
- downloading a song from iTunes via G3 will cost you an additional £28.57 per song
Your iPhone or iPad could end up being the most expensive Multimedia device you’ve ever bought.
