But how much data do you really need?  Typically most mobile phone users use less than 500MB per month and if your phone has Wi-Fi built it, you can surf to your hearts content on any free Wi-Fi network.  So stick with the lowest data plan, get a smartphone with Wi-Fi capabilities and save money.

Another way to save money is by choosing the right mobile phone.  Here’s a breakdown of how the Apple iPhone and the BlackBerry Torch compare with 500MB of data usage:

Choosing the right phone and data plan can save you hundreds each year, so before you commit to that contact be sure you know what you are getting.
