Is there a way to keep track of how many MB's of data is used? I'm not sure if I should go with the 500mb or 2.5g plan. Thanks.

Yes, you can keep a track of how many data you used a monthly you can download an application in the Google store. I recomend you to get the 2.5gb per month , becuase you have an smart phone and smart phones used must of the time data. 500 mb is too little for an smart phone. Good luck

In the usa, T-Mobile still(05.2015) offers a data plan where you pay $15 once for the SIM card, then you get 200MB/month for life FREE, no-contract, and you can buy data as you need it; 500MB/1 day $5; 1GB/1 week, $10; 3GB/30 days $30; 5GB/30 days $40; I believe I have the pricing correct. If you aren't a data hog, you can go all month of emailing with the Free 200MB, sweet. I have these in some 3G iPads and works awesome. I love T-Mobi and am kissing AT-T's A$$ goodbye.

Its truly 500mb free - no fees unless you exceed the 500mb and then its a minimal cost. I've never exceeded so - didn't need it. The service can be a bit spotty - depending on where you are - but if you have a good signal - then you have a good connection.

All depends on what you plan to use it for.Usually more is better.I have the 16GB unit and that is fine for me.I will never use the 16GB. But if you plan to download a real lot then get the bigger one.There is an expansion slot on all.

The device price is one time. We offer a Free 500MB plan that is free each and every month. We also have a variety of additional paid plans if you need more data, as well as services like Speed Plus and Data Rollover that have small monthly costs. They are all optional though.

I purchased a t-mobile sim that was offered with 200 mb of data per month for life under the byod plan. I'm not sure if t-mobile still offers that option.

The one I bought last month was 4g, but you can put in a mini SD and make it 4+ 16gb if you want.

Looking at Storage Sense on the phone, I see System takes 3.21 gb, temp files is 600mb. Between my apps, photos, music, and email, I'm using 10.6gb right now.

Since you are using voice only, no data, why does it need to be on the 4g network? 2G would be more than adequate.

You have to get a data plan. I use AT&T; Togo and it's 60 a month for 2GB of data unlimited talk and text.

I never had the 3G. I'm sorry. Verizon has been good, though. I've never had a problem connecting, even when I was in some tiny towns in the middle of nowhere. I wouldn't recommend verizon if you plan on using lots of data...videos, gaming, etc...because of the cost of data used. However, if you aren't a netflix junkie and just want to surf the net or whatever, it may be a good option for you.

Not if you stay under 500 MB. You also need to use at least 5 MB each month or you are charged a small "Inactivity Fee".

Verizon offers share everything plans, prices aren't bad. I switched from my 450T&T 2GBdata plan to the share everything plan for $10 a month more giving unlimited text and talk with 4 GB data. I use it for my smartphone hotspot. Rolak

This is a Smart phone and we have AT&T.; You can access the Internet however we found it is not good for heavy internet usage. You will have to figure out how much you will be using the Internet to determine what size Data Plan that you need to buy. We were able to increase ours a few times to adjust to the one that fit our needs. There was no upgrade fee to increase the data MB so I suggest starting with the cheapest and you will get an idea of what you use after your first bill.

I just checked clear website for a neighbor. It says they now have merged with sprint. When we got ours 2 years ago, we got unlimited data for 49.00 a month, we got great reception we could stream movies etc, it was the greatest. NOW however the merge is not a good thing, sprint limits the data, 79.00 a month for their highest gb of data. not unlimited anylonger. I am not sure why they did not change our data plan we never had a contract but it was so good we kept it. so also sprint wants 2 year contract for a device free. its nothing like it used to be.

AFAIK There is no free 2GB first month trial. They have plans srating from 500 MB free plan.

3g will work almost out of the box, normal programming required. restart and you should be good to go. :) also I've been getting around 1mb/s speed on my droid. LOVE IT
