Frequently Asked questions "Phone Plans"

The standard “Unlimited Data Plan” includes High-Speed Data up to a certain cap, which differs from one plan to another.

“Unlimited” DOES NOT MEAN UNREASONABLE USE. "Unlimited Data” services are provided solely for personal, non-commercial access to the Internet, for purposes of web browsing, messaging, and similar data activities, as your authorized device’s native applications and capabilities permit.

To ensure that all customers have access to reliable services provided at a reasonable cost, you may not use our service in a manner that interferes with another SpeedTalk Mobile™ customers use of our service or that disproportionately impacts SpeedTalk Mobile™ network or resources.

SpeedTalk Mobile™ reserves the right, without notice or limitation, to place you on a different service plan with no unlimited usage components, to limit data throughput speeds or quantities, or to deny, terminate, end, modify, disconnect or suspend your service, or decline to renew your service.

With your 5GB of Data, you’ll be able to browse the Internet for approximately 60 hours per month, stream some songs online or watch online video in Standard Definition.

Yes, it's recommended to use Wi-Fi to be sure you have more than enough data when you are off Wi-Fi.

You might need to refill your account with a new plan to start fresh with new data caps.

Different sources set the “regular user” monthly data consumption between 5GB and 10GB.

Anyway, most current Apple iPhone, Samsung smartphones or Google smartphones track your data usage to detail and let you know it, so you can check it in your own phone settings and choose a plan based on this precise information.

HD video streaming is by far the biggest consumer of your monthly mobile data allowance. However, your final data consumption numbers will be a combination of everything you do with your mobile device, so every activity and app plays its own role in this.

The answer is no. Generally, when your phone is connected to your home or any other Wi-Fi network, it will not connect to the 5G/4G LTE or any type of wireless carrier network. Any data used via Wi-Fi will not count toward your data plan.

According to different media sources that cover the cell phone and mobile market, you can split the consumers in three groups:

• “Light” users would show an average data usage between 2 to 5 GB each month
• “Regular” users between 5-10 GB each month
• “Heavy” users 10+ GB each month (often getting to 20-30 GB due to HD video, social media with video, and hotspot tethering)

Yes, they can! How much it gives depends on what data plan you choose.

According to NPD the average U.S. smartphone user now consumes a total of 31.4 GB of data monthly (a figure that includes both Wi-Fi and cellular consumption).

SMS text messages use 7-bit characters and have a maximum length of 160 characters, making the maximum data size of each SMS 1120 Bits or 140 Bytes. If an average MP3 song from iTunes is 4 MB, a text message is 0.0001335 MB

Long Term Evolution.

LTE stands for Long Term Evolution and is sometimes referred to as 4G LTE. It’s a standard for wireless data transmission that allows you to download your favorite music, websites, and video really fast—much faster than you could with the previous technology, 3G.

With our Top Value Unlimited Plans ranging in price from $5 to $18 per month, pick the plan that fits your budget, but also consider what benefits each plan includes with their different tiers of “Unlimited Data”.

5G is the latest mobile data technology available. 5G networks can move vast amounts of data much more efficiently than 4G LTE networks, which means faster downloads of every kind, faster movie/TV streams, faster live streams, faster and better video calls/meetings, and so on.

If we talk about Original LTE, 4G is significantly faster. Original LTE offered only 100 Mbps, while true 4G offers up to 1,000 Mbps. However, if we take a look at the LTE-A speeds, the difference disappears as it also offers 1,000 Mbps.

For a “regular” user, sources report that 10GB is plenty of data to play with for the month, perfect for keeping yourself entertained and occupied while commuting. Most likely, your phone battery will run out before your data does, so find out how to prolong it to keep using your data whenever you need it.
