Anyone have any idea how much data you would use monthly in a static caravan using iPads, tv with Netflix and Amazon and phones?

Hello @Shashoo16

Welcome to the community!

Unfortunately, you have asked a classic "how long is a piece of string" type question, and there's no simple answer - it depends on the quality of the videos you're watching (SD/HD etc), how long you're watching things for, and a few other variables.

EE have an article covering some of this here that might assist you.

this is an educated shot in the dark i would suggest one person watch streaming video services and internet radio you use approx 89 Gb in a day over a 6 hour period with basic mah here 89 Gb per day time 7days = 623Gb a week

4 week in one month 2,492 Gb a month that a lot of money on pay as you go !

There is a smart benefit on sim only/phone plans called Video Data Pass that allows as much streaming as you like. You would need to sign up to a phone contract that includes one smart benefit or pay £8.99 a month (minimum 30 days).

Technically you are allowed to do what you like with a sim so you could put it in a router, however whenever doing anything like this keep an eye on your data usage in your account to see it is not using data up.
