I almost never have my phone connected to cellular data. I use a cheap pre-paid plan and have kept the same 2 gigs for over 2 years. The first time I used cellular data was to check in to a clinic (January 2021). Just checking in at their website used somewhere between 3 and 6 megabytes of data. Something I could have theoretically done, faster, with a single SMS to an email address or phone number.
FYI you can probably get unlimited data now for same price as your old cheap plan, at least in the US.
For very minimal use, a "cheap prepaid plan" can cost $5 a month or less.
Exactly. I'm paying a bit less than $7 a month. And that includes having to reup on a slightly more expensive plan every few years for more minutes.
