Time for some silly fun ideas....

stonechucker — Wed, 05 Jan 2022 06:50:46 GMT

I have about 32 hours until my 8+ GB of remaining data runs out on my 90-day plan (the promo 🙂 ).

Any ideas about what I can use it for? I am thinking streaming HQ Audio on Spotify. What would you do?

Binge watch cat videos on Youtube? But then they don't usually come in 4K.

I don't have a 4K screen of any size 😞

Good suggestion though 🙂

@stonechucker, sounds like your usage is like mine. I am half way through my 90 days and have 11+ GB left. Although last cycle something was up I went through 6gb while using phone as a hotspot in a short period of time.

@ShawnC13 this is the completion of my first cycle on 12 GB. I didn't hit 2.5 GB last 90-days on 6.

Apparently I'm never going to be a data craver. However, it's always fun to dream!

You could gather some friends/family together and have a tethering party.

@stonechucker, isn't it nice to have it if we need it. I could have gotten away with the 3 maybe but the 6 GB plan for sure but why not go big when you can!!

Better yet, go to the mall, set up an open wifi and make lots of new friends that have 500 meg share everything plans.

Free wifi...brought to you by Public Mobile!

@stonechucker could wear an orange cape and get paid a commission from PM for advertising at the same time.

The orange cape killed me, that is the funniest and best thing I've heard so far today lollll. How about Netflixing it on your phone? =D

If I could have planned this right, it could have been a "pop up SIM" event in my city.

Freedom has just upgraded here, and right across the street is a public square.

Oh the opportunity we could have had to get SIM cards out there.

I even would have worn the cape!

So, last week I asked what to do with 8+ GB of remaining data in my last 32 hours of my 90 day plan. I streamed Spotify at high quality, and used about 1.5 GB. It was a nice change, not having to listen to the country music in the shop 😉

However, on Saturday, when I went to do my laundry, I turned on my hotspot (secured), and used my iPad to stream music again from Spotify.

Ooops... used almost 1 GB of data on day 2 of my 90-day plan. I forgot my iPad was set to stream high quality on WiFi while connected to ANY WiFi hotspot / Access Point.

I will try to remember not to do this again. Thank goodness for 12 GB!
