Do you know of any users who use their smartphone for data usage only, and rarely make calls and texts?

I do fit in to this category, but do use the 250 mins with my Giffgaff bundle up each month and send about 100 texts a month.

Am just the same.... Use my phone more for data than making calls or texts.

Get 300 mins and 3000 texts per month, and use maybe 10 mins at the most, and a couple of hundred texts.


Data however

I think this is coming popular. Anyone with 99pc data use, 1pc the rest?

I'm on the One Plan and the majority of my use is data. Usually over 20GB a month on average.

Texts is under 100 with most texts being sent via IM services such as WhatsApp.
Minutes can vary greatly with some months being as low as 100/200 minutes and other months being as high as 800 minutes.

That's what I like about the One Plan for me, it's pretty much impossible to go over the allowances and it only costs me £12.50pm for something no other networks can even match.

Count me in. Some months I don't use any texts or minutes, it's all data.

If it were up to me I would uninstall the dialer and messaging apps from my phone , well when I am on Android anyway, but my OH insists they could be useful.

I use a lot more minutes since I switched to a tarriff with unlimited minutes and texts. If I had a smaller allowance of minutes I'd try to stay within the limit because I don't like paying for calls. I use quite a lot of data though.
