Mobile Data Abroad
27 Answers
We are constantly told not to use Mobile Data abroad.
I am in Montreal, and have used MD a couple of times for Net access when none was available, no more than two minutes at a time.
Are charges based on type of usage, length of time used, location?
Any advice appreciated.

"To give you an idea of what 1MB of data can do, it is roughly equivalent to:
Sending or receiving about 6-8 emails without attachments
Sending or receiving 2 mails with simple attachments (that aren’t heavy)
Browsing the web for around 10 minutes (depending on the website and content)
Streaming audio for around 1 minute
Sending or receiving about 5 instant messages with no attachments"

Didn't see that bit...explains andy being ignorant, I suppose.
I'm going to Canada soon and there is a 15 quid add-on that allows me to use my phone as I do here.
I think andy is in danger of paying more than he wants to. £5 per MB will get expensive very quickly.

Thanks, but to be clear, I have only used my DP when essential, and no other access is available.
I am working here as a music journalist covering the Jazz Festival, and I need 24/7 e-mail, so I only use my DP when it's essential, and only for as little time and activity as possible - 99% of the time I have access in my hotel, or in cafe's, malls etc, but thanks for thinking of me, I appreciate it.
