Hello Donald and all: I completely understand the idea of not wanting to use more data than is your share. we have a plan here as well and even though there is plenty of data to go around, checking now and again cannot hurt. I cannot tell you how many times I have been told that a particular app will use such and such amounts of data only to be greatly surprised both to my advantage and disadvantage. so, my experience is that checking for myself hurts no one and might just help me and the ones on my plan :).
If you run another test, please post your findings to the list. if no one else is curious, I certainly am because the difference between 16 and 75 meg is interesting if not hugely substantial :). Please let us know what happens on your adventure :). Take good care and I wish you enough. Patrick On Oct 18, 2013, at 12:07 PM, "Donald L.
