Daily minutes using mobile data
Rates are deliberately simple editorial inputs, not measured app benchmarks. Quality, autoplay, adverts, background traffic and app updates can change usage dramatically. We use 1 GB = 1,000 MB.
Formula: Σ(minutes ÷ 60 × assumed MB/hour) × days ÷ 1,000, plus other GB, then multiply by (1 + buffer ÷ 100). Check your phone’s real usage and use the estimate as a starting point, not a guarantee.
