iPhone Data Costs - No Problem.

So here is a screen shot of my downloads for my iPhone...

so far I have spent $3461.66 on bandwidth this month.

why am I smiling.. because it is capped at around $60.


I think I'm getting my moneys worth.

Amazing! It's so hard to figure out the conversion between packets and bytes. How many mb did you go through?

Total Bandwidth cost for the month

Now just wait for discounts to be applied.

As for packets and bytes.. I have no idea..
I did a restore during the month...
but I think around 300mb... but I'm purely guesstimating...

Ok I found the formula... I used

236.49MB

we pay ₯0.21/packet and there are 128 bytes in a packet.

Ooops I used the wrong data cost...
iPhone users pay ₯.084/packet.

So that means I used 591.23MB

but as you can see from the chart this is how it works... we have a min. monthly charge... which gets capped ₯5985 - it just hasn't been applied yet.

Those sort of prices makes you feel like you're getting your money's worth. If I was running a telco, I'd have a $49 cap plan which includes $1,000,000 of call credits, charged at $10/sec with $100/mb data.
