Thanks folks... guess I didn't make myself clear.
I will be traveling and in order to purchase hardware/software for the road to do internet while I'm on the road... everyone asks me "how much data do you use"? I have no idea..
So I am trying to track what I currently use at home. I have a virizon cell LG Lucid Android with 4GB included.. but it's really hard for me to read email etc on it. So I have a new Laptop with Win 8.1.
Been told I can link phone to laptop for $40 mo.
Virizon jetpack for $50-60 mo.
Get Millinium for $90 mo.
Seems all these different options will depend on how much data I need.
I don't download movies, I just read about 10 blogs but not all are posted everyday (also they have pictures in them.. understand this is important), read
10-20 short emails, give facebook a look prob. 10-15 min. max. then extra things due to RVing .maybe look up campground info, gas stations etc. say 1/2 hr every couple days.
I know that doesn't tell you much but... I'm trying to figure out how I can find out my current at home usage and can make a decision from there. I'd also like to be able to "upgrade" amount of data if I find I am using more.
I only plan on traveling 4-5 weeks 3 times a year. I've been using campground wifi and stopping at Starbucks, McDonnalds.. but that's been a real pain.
Again.. sorry for any confusion...
