Hello everyone,
I'm going to soon change my phone and my plan at the same time (with SFR).
Plan: 1 hour of calls; unlimited texts; 200Mo/month of internet.
Will 200Mo/month be enough or limited by the end of the month if I spend 15 minutes on Facebook and do some small searches on Google every day?
Thanks in advance!
Best regards
P.S.: Do YouTube videos consume a lot of Mo?
Configuration: Windows 7 / Internet Explorer 8.0

Hi, for your information, loading the first page of Facebook (normal site version, not mobile version) uses less than 500 KB (incoming and outgoing).
200 MB = 400 * 500 KB
So you should be able to display 400 pages of Facebook with 200 MB.
A search doesn’t take much more in my opinion.
And if your phone connects via Wi-Fi (at home, at McDonald's...) the 200 MB don’t count, you know, it’s only when you’re on 3G, 2G, or any mobile networks.
And my estimates are quite vague, as several sites say that 200 MB corresponds to 15 hours of browsing, or 20,000 emails.
For YouTube videos, yes, they eat up the bandwidth ^^
Now, if you want to be sure, here’s a little simulator that should help you ;)

However, I still have a few questions:
When I log onto Facebook, do I use 500kb until I log off Facebook (regardless of the time?)
or is it charged for each page = 500kb? (e.g.: home / my profile / friend's photo album / back to home ... 4 x 500kb = 2MB)
And if by any chance I exhaust my 200MB before the end of the month, will I be able to continue browsing the internet with my remaining credit of one hour of calls (I am on a blocked plan)?
Thank you in advance! Best regards =)
And no, with SFR, if you exceed your 200 MB, unless you make a special recharge, you will no longer have internet access, except for Wi-Fi, of course.
