How much data will you use?
Data traffic on your Raven may differ. It depends how you use your Raven. Let us make one example: You synchronize your email, contacts and calendar in your Raven. Then data traffic may reach up to 50 MB a month. However, this depends how frequently you write and receive emails and how big the email attachments are. You can check your own data traffic in Settings, Wireless networks, Data usage (or GSM).
