The other thing I don't understand about personal/business is that people without a job and plenty of "free" time are more likely to spend considerable time on the mobile than those busy at "work" on paid or unpaid tasks with the mobile being a significant distraction. Anyone actively working, sans sales people, do better to ignore the mobile on the whole and make use of voicemail and/or email or other forms of communication for a significant number of interactions --
There are more than a few people watching TV on public transport on the way to/from work. If you spend 40 hours a month on public transport (which is not uncommon) then that would be 25G of data per month if you spent that time watching SBS on demand (I presume other TV sources have similar data requirements but don't use them so can't easily verify). Sometimes for work I have to download gigs of data. Doing an rsync of a Linux image isn't that uncommon for me.
btw Nobody should put ANY trust in the mobile phone network when it calls to calls and SMS as it is an extremely insecure medium. At the very least you should be using Signal [or some other trust worthy end-to-end encryption tool with encrypted messages and calls, at the very least.... So sad that there is a need for Signal at all, but such is life.
https://krebsonsecurity.com/2016/09/the-limits-of-sms-for-2-factor-authentic... Krebs gave the best write-up of SMS issues. As for Signal, it uses SMS to verify and change encryption settings. So if someone takes over your phone number of SMS I think there's nothing stopping them getting a new Signal key and communicating with people in your contacts list. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/
