Amount of Cellular Data Used by Smartphone Link
The amount of cellular data used by Smartphone Link traffic services is generally minimal but varies depending on a variety of factors such as:
- Time used with the automotive device.
- Amount of reported traffic information.
In most situations, 2 MB of data per hour of active use with an automotive device is a reasonable estimate for data usage. For example, if the device is used 5 days a week on a 30-minute commute each way, Smartphone Link would use about 40 MB of data per month.
Other Live services such as LiveTrack and Advanced Weather use less data than traffic. LiveTrack data usage is very small, averaging about 3-4kb an hour during a tracking session.
