3GB of data is a fairly low allowance, but it will still be plenty for some types of users – especially those who are either mostly on Wi-Fi, or mostly use data just for web browsing and messaging.
With 3GB you can watch about 12 hours of Netflix content using ‘automatic’ quality, which is essentially the service’s medium or standard quality.
If you’re more into music, you could stream roughly 69 hours from Spotify on normal (96kbps) quality. Though note that data use can increase with higher quality streams, or on some other services.
Web browsing, social media, and instant messaging can use a quite variable amount of data so estimates are harder to give, but a mix of those things is likely to use somewhere between 20MB and 120MB per hour, which means even at the top end you could do these things for around 25 hours with 3GB of data, and at the low end you could manage as much as around 150 hours before running out of data.
So 3GB can go further than you might think, but if you are planning to stream a lot of videos or download big apps over mobile data, then you might want to consider a higher allowance.
