20p per Mb. What's this in £ per min?

anotherbob

I'm on ASDA PAYG. I make little use of calls and texts but I would like to make more use of the Internet on my phone. ASDA charge 20p per Mb but I have no idea how this translates to actual use in terms of £ per minute. Can anyone advise me please?

20p per MB is 20p per MB downloaded / uploaded .
Does not matter if it takes two mins or two hours .
As to how many MB per hour impossible to quantify as it depends upon what use etc .

20P per MB is rather expensive as Virgin PAYG is 30P per day up to 25MB excess charge over that is expensive though .

You're not charged by how much time you spend looking at the screen. You're charged for how much data you download. You could download 20KB of data and then spend an hour looking at it and pay for only 20KB. Alternatively, you could download 100MB of data and then only spend a few seconds looking at it.

its not charged per minute basis.
Its charged on the basis of content (bandwidth) you used which is referenced in MB/GB.
for a reference, if you load the full pc version of the bbc.co.uk website it comes to about 1.2 to 1.5mb.
that gives u a rough idea of how much its going to cost for your usage.
