What Is Mobile Data Usage?

Mobile data usage is the traffic you use over the cellular network when not on Wi-Fi — every time you scroll Instagram, look up directions on Google Maps, or video call home, it counts against your data. You usually won't have Wi-Fi everywhere while travelling, so estimating beforehand and buying the right amount avoids running out mid-trip or overpaying for data you won't use.

How We Calculate It

Roughly how much data each type of activity uses per hour (industry-standard estimates):

Výše uvedené hodinové hodnoty nejsou naměřené z vašeho telefonu — jsou přepočtené z typických velikostí souborů. Stejná aplikace může spotřebovat velmi rozdílné množství podle nastavení kvality a aktualizace na pozadí, berte proto výsledek jako řádový odhad, ne jako prognózu vyúčtování. Proč se stejná spotřeba nabízí v tarifech „denní kvóta“ a „celkový objem“ — a který se hodí vám — viz Daily quota vs. total data。

Social media (IG/Threads/Facebook)
≈150 MB/hr
HD video streaming (1080p)
≈1 GB/hr
Short video (TikTok/Reels)
≈600 MB/hr
Music streaming
≈100 MB/hr
Navigation
≈10 MB/hr
Web browsing
≈50 MB/hr
Messaging/email
≈4 MB/hr
Video calls
≈1 GB/hr

These figures are estimated from typical file sizes — actual usage varies noticeably by app settings, video quality and background refresh. Treat them as order-of-magnitude guidance. The single most effective way to save data: download offline maps before you leave, and turn off autoplay in social apps.
