I got a joke email the other day “The book 'Understanding Women” is finally out!" it’s a photo of a guy perusing what looks like a 3-foot thick bound book. Stupid picture. It’s 238KB, a quarter of a megabyte.
If someone sends you one raw photo from their moderm, 10Mp camera, that could be 4 MB. Powerpoint presentations from work could push 10MB.
Even the mail client apps for smartphones iPad will eventually download the attachments if you open them.
To minimize data loading in Mail, go to Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Load Remote Images set to OFF. That should block image attachments from automatically downloading. There will be a placeholder box in the email that you can tap on to load manually if you wish.
Unfortunately, there is no iPhone setting for blocking attachments over a certain size. Depending on your email provider, you might have server-side settings to do it though.
Just look at what Paul Revere did with only two bits.
My email signature is the complete text of Atlas Shrugged, so 25 emails for 120 MB sounds about right.
I don’t know if Verizon in Europe is the same as the US but their Mifi cards seem extremely reasonable to me. I send emails when I’m out of the office (out in the country so no wifi), and the plan I have is 10 gigs for $80 a month or 5 gigs for $50.($50 for the device ) I got rid of my home internet and use this all the time. You can’t watch netflix with it but a fair amount of youtube videos and you can stay looking at text pages like the Dope for days.
Pai325
I guess what I’m saying is if ** Pai325** has a card plan like mine in the US and plans on continued use after the trip, could he/she take one to Europe and use it without crazy roaming charges?
Beats asking every coffee shop for their password or constant advertisements before you can use free wifi…
A raw file will be much bigger. At least 8MB, more like 10-20MB usually. 4MB is a reasonable high-quality JPEG for a 10MP camera.
I just had a look in one of my folders, and RAW (NEF) files from a Nikon D90 (a 12 Mp camera) are about 9.0-11.5 MB, depending on the amount of detail in the image.
