What does 2.5GB Full-Speed Data Allowance mean?
This is my first cellphone and I'm using cricket. In the cricket plan it says 2.5GB Full-Speed Data Allowance. What does that mean. Is it saying that I can only download that much a month?
How much data does a minute of a WhatsApp call consume?
Free voice call apps, which use data to place calls, can offer a cheaper way to keep in contact with friends abroad and come to the rescue when you’ve used up your monthly minute quota. However, with multi-gigabyte data plans still often coming at a premium price, the busiest chatters out there could soon eat into their monthly allowance using voice over data calls.To shed some light on the issue, we’ve gone back over our list of 10 free call apps to investigate just how much data these apps end up consuming. In the list you’ll find popular apps such as Hangouts, Skype, WhatApp and Viber, as well as regional favourites including Line and Nimbuzz.The test methodFor our test, we subjected each of these 10 apps to three separate one minute calls and recorded the amount of data used by the app after each call. These three totals were then averaged together to produce the result.Both sides spoke for 30 seconds each during the one minute call, to simulate a two way conversation. All of the test runs were conducted over a 4G network on both ends, with both phones running the latest versions of each app from the Play Store and the same Android operating system version, just to be extra safe.The resultsWe can instantly spot a huge difference between the leanest and the heaviest data consuming applications. Interestingly, many of the most well-known apps, such as Hangouts, Skype and WhatsApp, consume by far the most data, while KakaoTalk, Nimbuzz and Line all consume comparatively smaller amounts of data. Facebook Messenger also makes a bit of a surprise appearance as one of the most data efficient ways of placing a voice call.
What does it mean if I have '10 GB' to use on the Internet?
Think about your 10GB limit like the gas tank in your car. Whenever the car is running you’re consuming gas. While your computer or device is on and connected to the internet it will be using up very little data like a running car. However, when you start to drive around town you use up a bit more than you would if you were spending that time idling in the driveway… The same thing holds true when you’re browsing the web. As you check Facebook, emails, and other favored sites you’re not eating up much data but it is more than just having the computer on and running. Lastly, let’s say that at a traffic light you want to gun it. Just full on put the pedal to the metal and go as fast as you can… That is like downloading or streaming video. You’re gonna be burning through gas and, before long, the tank will be empty.To get the most mileage out of your 10GB limit you’re going to need to restrict your streaming video usage and downloads or else, depending on your provider’s policies, you may end up without internet until you buy more data or you’ll be charged overage fees. With 10gb you will want to shy away from streaming video in HD.ATT offers a tool that gives an estimated amount of data you will need based on what you want to do. The tool is only an estimation but it’ll help you adjust your habits within the confines of your internet limitations. See BelowAT&T Data CalculatorHope this helps! ☺
A plan offers unlimited data and 1 GB of LTE Data, what does this mean?
They probably will throttle your throughput speed. I really don't know this particular plan but on the one I'm using (Cricket) after 2.5GB of data is used speed goes down from 8MB LTE to barely 100kb Edge. It is good for WhatsUp, email etc. I'm using WiFi from cable company to supliment though. But usually 2.5GB is good enough for a month for me. I'm paying $35.P. S. Lol. I just got this message. A heads up from Cricket! You've used 100% of your high speed data for the current month. Your browsing, downloads, etc., will slow down significantly for the remainder of your monthly plan cycle. In the meantime, visit Cricket Wi-Fi App | Free Download | Easy to Use and learn how to connect to Wi-Fi hotspots.
How much GB does a 3 hour movie consume watching on YouTube?
The answer depends on two factors. The first one obviously is the resolution of the video which you are watching. The second one is about your ISPs bandwidth.If you are having an internet connection which is having less than 1 Meg speed, then the data usage would be roughly around 200 Mb per hour. The catch here is YouTube’s intelligence to detect your internet speed and stream accordingly. But if you are very much specific for HD videos and if change the settings like that, then it might cost you 2 Gigs of data for every hour of streaming video.For your question, the possible answers would be1. Roughly 700 Mb, if you are on a non-broadband speed. (Less than 1 Mbps) or if you force YouTube to stream on a lower resolution, less than 360p or lesser.2. For a full HD video or possibly a 360 video, it might take up to 6.5 Gigs of your data provided you are having 4G or higher speedsYou can adjust the resolution in the SmartTVs also. If I really look for the details and visual content, I would go for the higher resolutions. But if it’s a movie or any other lengthy videos, I’d prefer a lower resolution. Same, if I’m having a limited connectivity. For that you may have to pause the video for a while to have a decent buffer and then play without any buffering.
My college WiFi has certain restrictions. One cannot download or surf more than 1.5 GB data per month. This is a very low limit. Is there any way to bypass such restrictions?
Thanks for A2A Yeah I agree with you , 1.5GB is very less that too for 1 month for an engineering student ohh !! so pity. We have 2GB for a day.Coming to your problem , Is there a portal in your college for authentication process or logging into your account ?? Is that a SSL secured one ?? I mean is it having https or http ?? If at all it's an http one u can easily hack ur friend's username password , use wireshark on any Linux machine , capture the packets , the http packets would be in a plain text !! obviously in a big college ppl logout login many times while your capture. So 30 days 30 accounts !! . After getting the password don't just straight away login , change your MAC so if at all anybody complains the admin can't find you. If at all he finds your MAC , he can't trace you with vendor name , he should go to that vendor and ask who bought mobile/laptop with that MAC address , which only cyber police can do , normal college's IT team would'nt go that far . If your portal is HTTPS secured , u have to do ARP spoofing on the entire network, so all packets would go through your device, where u can do SSL STRIP at your Linux machine(backtrack or Kali). But the admin definitely find heavy traffic going through ur MAC , would definitely take a action on you. So best alternative is create a fake access point , obviously who would leave open WiFi connection ??? all users will be connected automatically, so whatever traffic they surf portal , Gmail, fb , what not all SSL ones normal ones all!!! can be SSL stripped at your machine . Not only portal all passwords in your hand !! . At last , if you know which OS runs at the server you can do some statistical attacks, depending on the OS running , you can edit your data limit by yourself, but that requires good hacking skills. Above, ones are better for a noob.If nothing works use VPN.PS: search for how to you use wire shark, how to do Man in the Middle attack. ( quite easy ones) use macchanger every time. If you want data for tech purpose go on.. Don't waste ur time
Is Jio cheating with wrong/over calculated data usage?
Yes I just found out and did a google to see how rampant it is. Yes they are cheating.I am on 1.5GB data plan per day.I got a system update of 1677 mb.There was atleast 1 GB remaining on my plant. By the time I download around 30% my data got over.Then I recharged with 1GB booster pack.It did not get through for more than 10 minutes.I contacted customer care and while I was talking to them it went through.My download started when it reached 35% is said that 500 odd MB is over.in just 10 seconds!!Then by the time the download reached 51% it said my Booster pack is over.So total 2.5GB I have used today.But when I log into my account on jio website the usage is showing only 1535 mb.So this is actually proof that their record is also showing 1535 mb used but not only did my 1.5GB plan data get expired but even 1GB booster pack get expired on on the same day.The daily usage should show 2.5GB total.Who knows from when they have been robbing us. Its a shame Reliance Jio (company) is resorting to such tactics.After we started paying for data I felt it started getting over sooner. But then I assumed that I might have watched more videos and not realized it.Even though I know how much I use as I browse limited on the phone I browse on my PC all the time.
What time does jio data gets reset?
If you have exhausted your Jio net balance then you have to wait till 2 am of next day. I mean if you exhaust your data today, then by tomorrow 2 am, your data will be reset to full balance.You would have probably seen message from Jio about data exhaust and restore of the same on 2 am. I have attached a screenshot of message below.Jio systems are irrespective of 24 hours. That means, if you exhaust your data by 1:59 am, then it will be reset in just a minute because Jio servers counts 2:00am as next day.Edit1: After the free period of internet by Jio, the data now resets at 12:00am - 1:00amEdit2: Now the data limit resets exactly at 12:55am as suggested by Anirban Goswami.
After using the daily limit of 1.5Gb of data in Jio, can I use it further?
Hi there ! Thanks for the A2A.Well, the answer is YESAfter the daily limit of 1 GB data is over you can still use the internet but at a reduced rate of 128 kbps.All the plans for JioPrime customers comes with UNLIMITED INTERNET USAGE EVEN AFTER THE CONSUMPTION OF DAILY DATA LIMITS.So basically you can make calls , text , surf the internet even after your 1 GB data limit is exhausted but at a speed less than or equivalent to 128 kbps.Hope this helps :)
