Three and unlimited data

SuiDreams

Silly question, I have recently moved to three on an unlimited data (1000gb) contract, is it work changing my apps to update over data, Currently set for Wifi only.

Is it worth it?

How should we know?

Only you know how often you want your apps updated ...

Worth it is what sense?

Do you need to have them updated as soon as possible?

Worth it that's a yes or no question and depends upon the phone the apps and if you want app updates to eat into your data .

If I have 1000gb allowance, will updating apps use a lot of the limit. Also may not connect mobile to the wifi as much, especially at times of day when broadband is slow (usually when dowloading on Laptop etc), this would mean apps would get more change to update etc.

Maybe I should have said is it a good idea rather than is it worth it.

I think you'll be ok with 1000Gb a month. Just keep an eye on your data counter a couple of times a day

Unless they are huge updates it is unlikely they will make much of a dent in your allowance.

The updates might just slow your phone down for a while.

Might be worth also seeing if you can get better broadband.

I have 50mb Cable broadband, but it can slow a bit if downloading at peak times (which I usually am).

Unless you have hundreds of apps installed you're unlikely to make too much of a dent in your data allowance. I use Three's £15 add on which gives me unlimited data and because I get good 4g coverage where I live I never connect my phone to WiFi so my apps all update over my data connection.

Unless your phone speeds end up being significantly faster than your wifi still better off on the wifi.

But if you have great 4G speed for example, then updating over the phone should hardly be relevant in the grand scheme of your allowance.
