Important information

The following services when provided by a 3rd party may consume large amounts of data and maybe subject to separate charge. We recommend you take a Browsing Bolt On if you use these services regularly:

• Downloading video clips from 3rd party: typically between 1MB and 5MB depending on the length and quality of the clip, plus the cost of the video
  
  • Note - Downloading video clips/music/games from O2 costs the price of the content only with no additional data charges.
• Downloading high quality music tracks from 3rd party: typically between 1MB and 5MB per track depending on the length and quality of the track, plus the cost of the track
• Downloading games from 3rd party: typically 300KB, plus the cost of the game

We recommend that you avoid the following on your mobile:

• Using VOIP** uses 1 MB of data every 3-4 minutes.
• Downloading full-length movies as this may use in excess of 1,000MB.
• Using video/ audio streaming devices (e.g. 'Sling box'), which connect your mobile device to your TV, also consume large amounts of data. Watching 15 minutes of TV on your mobile using these devices uses around 25MB.

* These figures are based on typical usage. Actual data usage will depend on the content of web pages viewed and the length of emails sent/received.

** Typical VOIP usage is around 5KB per second but will depend on a number of variables including codec and voice sample time.
