What does a '500MB data add-on' give me?

What does a '500MB data add-on' give me? I am on PAYG at the moment for calls and texts but I need to be able to send and receive emails and access websites when away from home Wi-Fi. (I will eventually get a proper monthly contract but this is an urgent temporary solution) e.g. how many emails will 500MB give me? Thanks.

Not a lot but normal emails don't usually use much.

How much data am I using on EE? might give you some clues.

Hi @ForeverYoung ,

Judging from the below link and estimating that each of your emails should be significantly below 1 MB, you should be able send and receive more than 500 emails (likely a lot more if few 10 MB attachments).

For a month worth of Google Maps navigation, light browsing, and social media, I would recommend at least 2 GB per month. Good luck! 🤓
