500 mB UK data

Hi I am upgrading my phone contract at the end of this month and I am going to take the plunge and get a smart phone. Is 500mb a month enough? I won't be streaming much I shouldn't think but will use it for facebook and a bit of browsing.

    I'd say 500 is more than enough for browsing
    only if you watch YouTube etc you'd probably go over
  • should be ok, I thought it wouldnt last me but i used 300 mb last month....maybe about 5gb over wifi if not more lol

    To be honest most people I know only look a you tube and websites like that through wifi. All my friends ask me for my wireless password...

    I am normally on wifi at home and at work. It took just about 3M to drive about 90 miles to Manchester and back using google satnav. I think that onward map was pre-cashed in full or partly via wifi.

    I never get anywhere near 500mb on o2 because the 3g network is so poor and so its only really worth using data over wifi.
