So I am concisering buying an iPhone 4 for $99 for Verizon. I am needing to see what data plan I will need.
I am mostly at home & school & have wifi there but when I am connected to wifi does it use my data?
iPhone 4, iOS 5.0.1
Whenever you are connected to wifi, it will not use Data.
Whenever you are connected to wifi, it will not use Data.
So if I am constantly on twitter using wifi none of my data will be used? Also is 2gb a good amount of data?
Once you are on wifi, it will not use your 3G data unless your wifi has a problem.
2GB of Data is more than sufficient if you have wifi turned on permanently. You only use Data when you are out of wifi range. Bear in mind streaming videos, tuning on Radio Apps and GPS map will consume a lots of Data if you are not within your connected wifi range.
I am only on my twitter an Facebook apps. Will they use a lot of data?
No. No worry.
As with every other smartphone out there, WiFi does not use data. You don't use data when on WiFi on an iPod Touch or similar device which has no data, it would be stupid to charge data while on WiFi. I don't even think they could get away with that.
Do you think I should go with a 16gb iPhone that's preowned from Verizon or an 8gb iPhone from verizon? Both are $99 but should I trust the certified ore owned phone?
Either should be fine. Preowned are usually okay, I would go with that as long as it has a good warranty. I've never bought straight from Verizon, I do it through Apple. Apple has great refurbished items, I'm not sure about iPhone though.
When the iPhone goes to sleep it drops out of wi-fi to 3g (this has been verified with Apple). So if you have any app(s) running that is streaming or pushing data you will be using your data plan when the iPhone drops to 3g. I have run into another problem that I do not have an answer for. Once night a month something is running that uses 80MB to 120MB of 3g data.
Does it iPhone use data when connected to wifi?
