data plan usage on mifi or dongle question
 

Anyone have any advice/input into how much of a data plan really gets used when running stealth accounts through a dongle or mifi device?

We've always just listed items on EB manually, rather than putting together a spreadsheet and uploading the items all at once, so if we're running stealth accounts using a data plan from Verizon or some other carrier, are we going to be racking up huge overage charges if we're online listing items for 8 hrs/day, or is the actual transmitted data, including that eaten up by uploading item photos, so small that it's not even a concern?

I can't find any good information on this, so thanks in advance for insights.

It all depends on how many accounts that you are operating and how many hours a day that you are working online.

But over 30 days you can go through a lot of Data, and again it's going to be different for everyone, it all depends on how many accounts you have , which will determine how much time you spend online each day

But if you think you will just use 2GB a month than Id say you have 2 accounts both 5/500 limits

Data adds up quick, so monitor yourself at the end of each day and you will get a feel for how much you typically use and need
